Back from magaluf , an I took your advice!

[Jenny06xx]

Hi all , I had an amazing time in magaluf although my belly was a nightmare every morning and I just had some crisps i didn't eat any proper food for the whole time we were there just so I could enjoy myself without worrying about loos all the time!

I've also kicked my husband out, when I was away I had a long think about things and I realised how bad things really were between us !
He took the car and will not even let me use it , what a prick , it's for his kids to get to school and at least b able to go out sum where with the girls .
So I've claimed employment support allowance changed my child benefit to weekly.
I've also claimed housing benefit an council tax benefit and need to get hold of tax credits they're a nightmare to get through to !
I've been to the docs an got a medical certificate plus a letter stating why I
need sick benefit , plus I also need to send the letter to the transport part of the council and they will arrange taxis to an from school .

I know I've done the right thing but I'm still scared of what the future holds for me now, I just have to keep my head up an get on with things as much as I can.

I also forgot to say , the doctor put me on asacol alongside the steroids as a maintenance drug let's hope it does the trick.

Well done! what courage! Sounds like you have done the right thing, being out of such a damaging relationship can only be better for you and the children even tho there'll be tough times ahead.

The only way is up Jen!
You've made the first move, arranged all your benefits etc, now for the hard bit
Be very cautious, very shrewd, stay away from confrontation with the ex, do not give him ammo to fight you, if you go for divorce do it diplomatically and amicably, without malice.
Keep your head down, stay quiet and the judge will look favourably on you.
Wishing you all the luck in the world, it will all pay off in the end, just take your time.
