i am in a dire sutuation - no physical violence but dh is an alcoholic (in denial), depressive, totally unliveable with. dd is traumatised by him though wants to love him. ds is only little so a lot of stuff evades him. I have to act but I want to know what happens. Injunction over safe house? I cannot take any more. he is a controlling, self pitying bully who cares for no one though he offers lip service to this iyswim. He rants, throws stuff, makes the children cry. he is, in short, a total nightmare and my lo's and i are stuck in too. he will not accept help, not accept he has a problem. It is horrendous and I have had enough. Your advice, experience welcome please

WA were a lifeline to my friend when she moved out. Got her a place, helped her move in, popped in, were always at the end of a phone. There was no rush for her to move on but they were delighted for her when she was strong enough to do so. They still continued to be there for her if she needed it.
