Hi everybody, thank you so much for the replies and advice. I thought I'd give a little update. I left my partner nearly 2 weeks ago and went to the shelter temporarily. We are now applying for family housing and assistance until we are back on our feet. It has been a confusing but relieving journey thus far. I'm hoping everything continues to work out in our favour. I have gotten amazing support from the community we have moved to and am attending a womens abuse group starting may and currently in abuse counseling!
