      Hi Kip, thanks for your reply. I’ve tried to contact my local Women’s aid but it just goes through to answer machine and no one rings me back. I’ve spoken to a couple of solicitors but they wanted £2,000 before they would even start looking at doing anything and (detail removed by moderator). I’m feeling very lost to be honest

      Update – On (detail removed by Moderator) my husband suddenly said that if I wanted him to leave then he would go there and then. I felt that if I said I wanted him to stay then he would think it was ok to continue like thus. So I said maybe it would be best if he left. He took a few things and went. (detail removed by Moderator) he was texting as if nothing had happened but I made it clear I didn’t want him back. I feel bad because I think he’s sleeping rough and could loose his job, I feel scared about how To claim and manage on benefits and I am scared because he wants to come back and I’m scared he could be nasty if I start legal proceedings. I’ve been in a high state of anxiety all day. Any advice would be gratefully accepted as to what the next steps are.

      I have health problems which means I haven’t been able to work for the last few years. I was on PIP but they reviewed it and decided I don’t qualify any more so I have had no money since (month removed by moderator). If I did manage a part time job wouldn’t they just stop the housing benefit so I could still have no money for food? At least where I am I have food and a roof over my head. It’s so hard! He’s on his best behaviour again at the moment

      Thank you for your reply. When I left before I took my dog so I couldn’t go to a refuge as they don’t allow dogs. My dog is almost part of me and I cannot risk leaving him behind as my husband has threatened to kill him. I also am very attached and couldn’t face being parted from him. I don’t have a job either so no income. I registered for council housing and there us a possible property I might be able to have and get housing benefit but no income for food or bills. I feel trapped and keep trying to make it work at home but somehow I cant
