Help to get out

I hve been with my partner for 10 + years.
I feel I need a way out and I don't know how.
Our kids are 7 and 10.
I am from a foreign country but have lived in this country for 20 years. My partner is British. We have been together for 14 years.
Our relationship is not healthy anymore. He hasn't touched me for 7 years.
I have suggested counselling and he declined.
One of our children may be neurodiverse. We haven't got a diagnosis,.
Homelike is horrendous. He tells the kids and I that we aren't good enough constantly. Has done it for years. He earns way more than me even though I am in a professional role
we were going to spend Christmas with my parents in a different country. I asked him if he'd really 2to com and he said..if you behave yourself...
He regularly smacks the kids and we have huge rows over it.
I don't know where to go or what to do. No affordable rentals near me. Have weird hours of work so can't really loose current childcare. My parent in a different country,
I need out but don't know how.

Are you married to your partner OP? Your legal rights are different if you are?
Do you co own your home?
Your partner sounds awful.
He shouldn’t be hitting your children
Please talk to someone about what is happening to you

Which country are you ?

Your kids do not deserve this. If not for yourself do it from them because you will lose them for not safeguarding them.

Step 1 is women's aid.

The practical things you can't worry about you will get help but you need to show everyone protecting your kidd and yourself is your main priority not work childcare and housing. There maybe a short time in a refuge but you will come out on the other end.
