Can I claim anything

Mrs_Muckle

In May this year I left my controlling marriage and moved over 300 miles away to a place of safety. I was pursued here by my husband who called the police several times to do welfare checks, he is sure that by leaving him I must be insane, and to try and get my friend arrested for kidnap and violence.

He has now settled down and I have left the refuge and living independently. I have been living off savings up till now but having paid a six month rental up front I am rapidly running out of cash. I am not confident enough to get a job, I have applied for some and even had two interviews but my lack of confidence is holding me back!

My question is does anyone know if I can get any help while I try and find work. I am going away on retreat in December as I cannot face Christmas without my family, my four children are back where I used to live and they have their own families.

Any suggestions?

Could you stay with some of your family till you can get sorted out financially and find a job.


Good luck in finding one by the way.


You can do it, and you will do it. Well done for having the confidence to get away from the bully. That in itself probably took more confidence that getting a job.
