I've finally kicked my partner into touch after a decade of being treated like a fucking idiot. No infidelity (of which I'm aware, at least!) but a whole truckload of emotional abuse/alcohol abuse/debt/inability to hold down a job/general twattery.
I'm not going to go into much detail about the circumstances which led to me ending it (as it's quite outing? but it was probably, on the scale of his previous bullshit, an absolute minor event. But I've drawn my line in the sand. DD is still quite young but I don't want her thinking this is how a relationship should be.
So, now what? I've contacted the landlord about changing the tenancy into my name; I'm going to ring Universal Credit tomorrow and start a claim. I've managed to secure a loan from a family member in the interim in case I'm short on funds.
But what, if anything, am I missing? Is there a checklist somewhere for getting my ducks in a row? Also, any advice on actually getting him to leave the property without him trying to kick the door in would be most appreciated!
