Sorry if title comes across baity! I just need to reach as many people as possible.
Very sadly I'm like many thousands of women, who gave up earning potential to raise children and has a husband who earns a lot more.
In the last 10 years his drinking has got completely out of control, obviously this year has been awful from that point of view and I just can't take it anymore.
I work in hospitality part time (I am currently furloughed) but usual pay is £12,500 annually, obviously I don't know if I'm even going to have a job after Christmas, but that's it I have no other income, savings, investments, nothing....
We have a house with smallish (110k) mortgage. We have no additional debts or finance. I manage everything life/bills wise.
So can anyone advise me on where to start? I've literally told him last night that it's over, I'm terrified.
I don't know what to do first.. how do I start to figure out where to live, how to pay for anything, house, car, bills....
