For a long time I have been thinking about leaving my husband, but I didn't for a number of reasons, mainly because of the children.
Now DS (12) has started asking if we can move out, because he doesn't like living with his Dad. So there is no way I can carry on pretending the situation is better for the kids.
I am hoping to save up money to pay a deposit and some rent in advance by October. In September my work contract finishes and I would have to find a new job (part time) or survive on very small bits of work. I am hoping to find a part time that pays about £500 a month. Would I get tax credits?
I know this all sounds a bit odd, but I can only post about this from work and am trying to be matter of fact so I don't get upset in front of people.
I am a regular poster but have name changed.
