How do you leave?

Answered 4 years ago

So iv decided I'll be leaving my husband but my mind is a mess. Where do I start? Realistically I know I need to leave but there's also all these doubts creeping in and all the memories we had from when thinks were still good. I'm sad the relationship has run it's course and I know i need to move on and learn to be a single parent but it just seems so hard. Any advice from those that have been there and done that?
I'm sad but releived but upset and just don't know what to think anymore

Hi, firstly, have you tried relationship counselling?
Then...if you still want to end the relationship, you will need to work out: who stays, will you need to find accommodation, will you need to find work or extra work hours, will you need to find childcare. If you’re renting, you’ll need bond money and first and possibly second months rent up front.
You may be able to receive benefits from the government and child support from your ex.
I have been there and done that but left an abusive relationship. It was TOTALLY worth it. I am no longer controlled and abused and am actually happy!

Well done on recognising it’s time to leave. I don’t have any advice as I should have left a few years ago but didn’t have the guts to do it. I ended up having an affair with a male friend I confided in. I distanced myself emotionally from my hubby but still I can’t leave. I know in my case I will get caught and cause deep devastation and the choice will no longer be mine. Don’t be like me.
