I’m in a really difficult situation as my partner recently said they wanted a divorce but then started acting like nothing happened. I’m currently not working because of health reasons and haven’t yet been approved for disability support, so I don’t have any income right now.

I’m also really worried about my children, they’ve been exposed to a lot of tension and raised voices at home, and it’s taking a toll on them emotionally. I don’t have much support around me and I’m struggling to see a way forward.

How can I begin to plan for separation when I’m financially dependent and don’t have anywhere else to go? Any guidance or advice would mean a lot.
