I think I need to leave

Hes been financially abusing me for about 11 years.
Hes always been irresponsible with money, it's worsened a lot of my already existing mental health problems.
I need to face up to this not just him being shit with money, but him actually abusing me.
I've recently found out that he has been doing things financially that could put me in prison.

I've turned a blind eye and tried to make good of the situation as long as I could, but I need to leave.

I have no friends, no family, no money, I'm disabled, have a teenager and I'm pregnant. Leaving him will leave me with not a single person in this world.

I've always felt that he wasn't thar bad because he was useless with money but never hits me, but I've uncovered what he's been doing, and I've spent 2 weeks unable to sleep worrying about the situation he has put us in with his pure greed and lying, yet he sleeps soundly at night.

I need to go. How? I doubt the council will help, I've got a private tenancy where I am.

Will anyone be able to help me escape someone who abuses me, even if only financially?

Oh love, you wouldn't be alone if you left, you have your beautiful children. There is support out there, please reach out. You could start with Womens Aid.

Who's name is the tenancy in? Could you stay in the family home and make him leave? If he's been doing things illegal you could inform the police and they could help with removing him.

You've put up with this waste of space long enough, I hope you find the strength and courage to get rid of him. You can have a peaceful, stress free life with your DC.
