Long story but will keep it short. I have just about had enough of my husband and want to leave but am so scared of the effect it will have on our 3 year old, and I just cant make the break. I dont know what im entitled to and where i would live. HELP

I know it's an old chestnut, but have you tried counselling?

sorry no practical advice, but it strikes me your 3 yr old is young enough to accept a split, I know it would be hard for you though

what about CAB? they are uaually great

good luck with your decision!

What happened to get to this point, what's got wrong between the two of you?.

AS ssd mentioned CAB is a good place to receive legal advice.

It will do your 3 year old no favours at all to stay in an extremely unhappy home environment. We learn about relationships first and foremost from our parents.
