Don't want to be with husband

I am so unhappy in my marriage and don't want to be with my husband. He is always angry and everything is always my fault. He drinks every single night and I hate been with him. We only rent and I work part time because I home educate our youngest son. I don't know where to start, I just can't afford to rent a house by myself because private rent near me is around £700pcm! I couldn't afford that and to pay my bills. I'm on anti depressants and just don't even have the energy to start fresh. I know 100% I would be so much happier by myself but it just feels impossible. Anyone been in the situation or got any advice? Thanks

Why do you home ed? SEN or preference? Because the obvious thing to do is work full time, giving you vastly more resources.

I would put your son in school and get a full time job. Is there a crucial reason he is home educated?

If your earnings are low and you rent, you could be entitled to Universal Credit. Try an online calculator.

Do you have family who can support you OP? Do you have a friend or work collegue you can trust ?
Are you named on your lease?
Have you approached a womens aid for advice, you are in an abusive relationship which is not healthy for you or your children.
Is your youngest being home educated due to additional needs? If so carers resource maybe able to help ?
I hope you find the strength to seek help x

How many kids did you have with this angry drinker? What a horrible life for them.

You need to speak with a solicitor ASAP.
