After 22 years of abuse from her husband my mum has finally found the strength to leave. She told him this morning, he has gone 'mad'..... He told her not to bother comming home tonight as she no longer lives there..He is a violent, abusive man and i'm terrified for her safety... Please think of her and send her the strength to get through this..It's going to get very nasty!...Does anyone know where she stands financially? Will she get half the house? Any information would be great.. Thankyou... LOU XXXXX

Sending positive thoughts and prayers for her safety and that things can be sorted for her. I reckon the best thing at this early stage would be the Citizens Advice Bureau and also a free half hour discussion with a solicitor.

She needs to see a solicitor right away. It's far too complicated to be dealt with here - there are too many variables. Good luck to both of you Gwynne

Your mum should see CAB as she is entitled to half of every thing including the house, some lawyers do a free half hour tell her to go see them as they will advise her and to see council for a safe place to stay they will help her Please tell your mum to be strong as if he is abusive to her she may back down but I will pray she doesn't (((HUGS))) I have been there so I do know what I am talking about

She wont back down this time. Before he had her so terrified she couldnt walk away...After 3 years of kickboxing lessons she has the confidence to go..I am so pleased for her, but on the other hand terrified of what he might do... I have made her promise to get out quick if he goes for her and to not try to fight back unless she has to.....Will ring CAB now... xxxx

OK one thing she needs to know is that if there is a danger of him coming to find her or he threatens to come round, she can call the Police before he arrives..... do not let her wait til he has his hands on her!!
