    I agree with the above comment, I think shelter will really be able to help your situation.

    I went through a similar situation to you with regards to financial , physical and emotional abuse from my childs father. Fortunately no house was involved though however I have been fighting to move to a more suitable property so that he doesn’t know where I am for the last almost 5 years.

    shelter have been amazing with me and my situation and have also got my MP on board not sure if you’ve tried this?

    Womens aid are really helpful too and have probably seen cases like this everyday whereby abusive partners etc do things like this to there other half’s!! It’s disgusting what men get away with and I’m so sorry you went through this whilst being so vulnerable.

    just remember you can and you will get through this. Even if there doesn’t seem like there is a light at the end of the tunnel right now there will be soon.

    as for your credit score if your in debt I advice talking to step change and applying for something called a DRO (debt relief order). This will help you wipe off your debt but will stay on your credit file for 6 years. There used to be a charge of £90 for this but I think as of April 2024 this charge has been erased especially for DV survivors like yourself.

    as for your documents you can do a SAR or FOI request to whoever you need the documents from or use a care of address such as your parents or even the job centre if your really struggling.

    also womens aid have certain refuges that they will house both yourself and your children in.

    the council no matter what have a duty of care to you with you being vulnerable under the housing act as well as being a victim of abuse.

    im always here if you want to private message me.

    I’m not quite sure if I’m correct on this so someone may have to correct me if I’m wrong but I’m sure both parties will be able to put across the reasons for making the application.

    im not sure on your situation, nor is it any of my business however is one opposing the initial application ?

    Have sent you a friend request not quite got to grips with how this site works yet as I’ve only just started properly using it these last few days but been signed up for a while. Hope I’ve done it right. I’ve been a single parent for almost 5 years. I left my child’s father when I was 6 weeks pregnant. I do miss the companionship too at times but I know in my situation it’s the best for myself and my son as he was a risk to me and my child as we went through DV. It’s a normal emotion to feel lonely. Always here if you ever want to chat, I’m from Leicester so not too far away either xx
