Me and husband have had a few problems over the years. Few things I've worked really hard to get over. After a year of lockdown I can clearly see this isn't going to work. I'm not happy and I want to split.

We've not long moved to a bigger house. ( probably a bad idea now ) my children including child with ASD are really settled here though. I don't want to move with them again but realise I might have to. I could afford mortgage on my own but I'm not sure the bank would let me have the mortgage on my own.

What are my options financially?

Also, am I best to wait it out until I've had some legal advice etc before telling him.

He earns the majority of our money, I know the first thing he'll do is threaten that he wants to sell the house, take me off his business and basically try to make me stay by making me worry I won't cope financially.

I’m my opinion it’s much better for your children to be happy and healthy and if you’re not you need to get out. Finances after a break can be tough, have you tried contacting citizens advice? My mum did this when she left my dad and they really helped. She started again from nothing but she is very happy abs has achieved so much, you can do the same if you have to 🙂
