I still call him DH as he is severely depressed and an alcoholic. We have split - he thinks temporarily - as I cannot expose our children to his illness. He is with his parents and I am at home.
We run a business together. I am part time, one DS at school, the other at home. The business is doing ok but there are debts and he is spiralling downwards. I am not a director, thank god.
He is continuing to work, pay all the bills etc but I am looking for a job, and fast. What should I do? I asked him to leave on Tuesday.
I have £80 to my name - he has said he will give me what I need. I have applied for tax credits (this I did before we split) so that will help. His parents have given me money too and they are very supportive and obviously very worried for him.
Obviously, once I get a job I will be able to worry less about him sending the business downwards but I won't be able to help him as much, but I am not sure I should anyway. This is a nightmare.
