I'm heading towards two years since the knock. My ex got a suspended sentence last October and because of his conviction he lost his job. He has acted appallingly since, constantly as the victim despite the devastation he has caused our family. He also put sexual photos of me on the horrible chat forums, which I still can't get over. Our house finally sold and I had found a new home. It felt like I finally had a fresh start and then our buyers pulled out last week. I honestly don't feel like I can continue to be strong. I so broken, trying to run my own business so I have income and be a good mother to my teenage son. I literally have no hope. If we don't sell our house really soon the bank will take the keys and then I won't be able to buy a house. I feel so hopeless

Oh Anxious, so sorry about the house worries. Selling your home is in the top 10 of stressful situations I think so coupled with all the other stuff you must be feeling very vulnerable and at the end of your tether emotionally. Such a shame that your OH isn't helping your emotional health at all and hope he changes his tune soon. Do you have someone to talk/offload onto - even someone you don't know like the LFF helpline. I'm sure they would be a good listening ear whatever is on your mind. Sending you an empathetic hug x
