Today I left with £75 in there bank booked me and one year old in today and b and b with it and one bag each I finally had enough today after he was g hungover blaming me for everything house been untidy ect and then it escaped in to him saying nasty things like I’m a mess who would want me anyway I’m fatter now than I was when I was pregnant and slapped me this isn’t thhhe first time. I have gained weight I’ll admit. But now I don’t know what to do tomorrow I have no where to go my parents live abroad I’m a only child and I’m a Sahm with no income he just sent me money whenever I asked and paid all the bills. I do get child benefit but that’s not till next week and I really don’t want to have to go back there he hasn’t even bothered to check where we are either I’m so done. I’ll sleep in the car before I go back there

sorry for the rant can’t see through my tears I know it will be worth it in the long run. Need to stay strong

Well done for leaving OP. You’ve made a brave move. It will get better from here.

I have no experience of finding housing but I didn’t want to pass by your post and not comment.

First thing tomorrow contact your council at take it from there.

Also maybe speak with Women’s Aid who should be able to advise you on next steps. They have a live chat or you can email.
