Just what the subject header says. LTB will definitely be a last resort, already thought about over a number of years. Have very cold feet (impact on kids, being alone, reduced money, no family support), hoping some positive stories will help me get back on track.

Feel the fear and do it anyway.
Life's too short.
It’ll all work out in the end … after the dust settles and you shape a different better life.
Take courage, gets ducks in a row, take legal advice. Just do it.

I did with a teen in tow because I got so miserable that a cardboard box to sleep in on the High Street was better than staying.

I’ve no regrets and went on to make and still have, a happier life. Not always perfect, but happier.

Thank you@Warspite . If I was advising a friend I’d say the same, the risks feel so high, there’d be no going back

I’ve done it too. Terrifying but I couldn’t carry on as it was. We now live in a happy, calm and respectful home. Positive thoughts to you. Xx
