Long story short, we've been going through separation for about 3 years trying to decide best way forward, this year was particularly bad due to covid and haven't made much progress but effectively we are living under one roof and I'm now finding it extremely frustrating to the point that as soon as she says anything, it really irratates the hell out of me. Got two kids over 10 yrs old and I am determined to find a place but I am stuck in an odd situation, I can't afford to buy anything as house prices are ridiculous and those that are affordable are way too small i.e. basically studio flats or old 1 bed cottages with a lot of maintenance requirements. I have some savings and can rent someplace but that means I can't save up for a deposit and I'm really struggling to commit to something. I'm tired of friends constantly telling me to just move out and live in shared accomodation but that would restrict me even more as I won't be able to bring kids over to stay. Not sure what others have done when in this situation or if there's any help available anywhere, it's really impacting my mential health and especially having to work from home also which is making it much harder to cope and get work done.
