Would like some advice on what to do to begin to separate. I am disabled how will this affect my benefits my husband is my sole carer and am scared he will desert me. Are there laws in place does he have a duty of care. Can anyone help ?

Hi @amyjane
Welcome to the community, Im sorry to hear about your separation, it may be good for you to seek some proper legal advice, you can check out the Law Centre here.

I can understand this must be a worrying and stressful time for you and though we can give you support, it would be sensible for you to get advice from a legal professional.

Best asking your local council if there’s any support you could get.

Picking apart your post
Is the relationship beyond repair or could some counselling help
Would the relationship continue if the pressures and stresses were alleviated
Social services/ NHS

Also it is easy from personal experience to focus on own disabilities and ignore emotional needs of loved ones.

hope you get it sorted
