How do I get out in this day and age with rental crisis.

Hi lady’s,
I am just about to turn 40 married and have a child, and I’m just feeling so done.
I can’t live in this toxic relationship anymore the nasty things he says and does and racist as when half my family is of colour and all different background. Now I’m not saying I’m perfect as I know I can be a bit** at times just like any of us but his so negative from the minute his eyes are open until they close.

Any little thing triggers him when we argue and I stick up for my self he always threats to bash me and calls me all the names under the sun worthless , peace of shit it’s slut fat cunt lazy cunt and much more and our child grabs a knife out of the draw to give to me for protection. I do not want our child to this this is ok and how you treat women.

I work full time and come home cook clean look after our child, he does school drop off and pick up as I’m at work and he owned his own business that I also have to help with administration and set up his page I do all the invoicing and advertising side of things when I get home from my job , now I don’t get anything out of it I do it for him and out child as hoping it will be his one day.
He calls me lazy because I can’t drop our child of at school or pick him up as I’m already at work but On my days off I do just that. Pick him up and drop him off. I do so much for my family and get treated like shit .

Now I have had my 2 oldest children from a previous Marriage back living with us , I am a young mum they are 23 and almost 20. And my eldest just moved back out as only there due to moving to one place to another and the place wasn’t ready . Well she has moved in with a friend because she can’t stand the way he treats me.

And he hubby can’t handle conflict towards him at any time . So she has kept her mouth shut because of last time when she did stand up to him for me they nearly got into a punch on.
And his mates and father just stay out of it as they are scared of him. And my second born also stood up for me once all within the same time hubby spat in his face and then kicked my son out. I wanted to leave on both occasions but did not have the means to and was told if I leave he will break my front teeth in and take off with our son and I will never see him again.
My family don’t no anything about all this they think is the best thing since sliced bread and I don’t want them know as we’re not close as my mum has passed away a few years and my dad never was around . Plus another failed marriage right .. GREAT .

He does nothing with our son when I go to work he will call me and say mum I’m hungry I said ask dad to make you something to eat and he said I have heaps but his sitting out side drinking and smoking pot. I’m a none drinker and smoker with his mates .
I’m always the one taking my son out doing and planing family outings trips and vaccinations. He does absolutely nothing and has the hide to call me lazy and fake , now if you new me you know I’m far from fake or lazy .

He does nothing around the house I sometimes work a 12 hr day and come come and have to clean cook diner do the washing and get my sons stuff ready for the next day for school or I’m called lazy and we live in a brothel . But what I’m asking is how do I get out when the rental crisis is absolutely ridiculous . I can only afford around 300/ 350 a week for a 2 bedroom granny flat but living in cairns northern beaches .

I will be starting to after Xmas putting saving away in my own back to get bond up to get out as I feel the energy and my soul getting sucked right out of me and I can’t take anymore or it , and my kids can’t see me the way they do anymore they to also want me out . But what really got me was when my daughter sent me a massage when I left for work.
It was.
Mum it makes me feel so sad to think about someone treating you like he does when all you do is your best and give so much love . You truly are a queen and deserve so much better then he could ever give. But I understand how hard it is to someone like that. Or even purely because it’s your little family and it’s hard to walk away . But he bashes you down down so hard and makes you feel worthless when really you are such a good person and worth more then he makes you feel.

I balled in my car on my way to work . I am so ready to get out find my self again as I’m so lost and need to find me and just be truely happy . But I order to to that I need to get out but how when rent is so high at 400/500 just for a 2 bedroom unit /flat I don’t have family or friends to lean on so this is something I need to to do on my own. I can’t buy for another 3 years or so so that’s out of the question and I need to save for a deposit. What have other lady’s done in this situation as I need to get a place on the down low then just grab what I need and get out quickly…. So how do you I get a long term rental ..

Can you go and stay with a family member for now. You need to get out. You also needed to charge him when he spat in your daughters face. Stop allowing these things. Stop being scared now. Involve the police and charge him. Have him removed from your home. Get an avo on him. Get out please. This is such a sad and scary situation. Ring 1800 respect they will advice you of what to do.

Oh mate, the only failure in your marriage is the fact you're still in it. You're a saint to bear this for so long.
Can you have him removed and keep the house you're in?
Your daughter is right, you deserve so much better.
I just hope karma comes his way and takes him the fuck out for you.
Call 1800RESPECT.
Visit your local police station to get information on local DV services.
Warn the kids in advance you're going to scimp a bit at Christmas so you can save a bit more faster.

You would get rent assistance and ftb and your adult children could pay too, you should even be able to afford a 3 bedroom place.

I only had to read the first part before I knew you had to get out! Any way possible. The fact that your child is getting you a knife from the drawer to defend yourself with... that's just heartbreaking. Please, please seek out DV support services in your area. Speak to Centrelink social worker as well. There are programs like 'Staying home, leaving violence' which help to get him out of the house. Your local police should be able to assist. Your family may like him because he puts on a good act OR they normalise abusive behaviour and have not lived anything different. Absolutely find a way, even if it's short term at a distance away from the area you would like to live in. You've got this, for yourself and your children ((hugs))
