Firstly, if getting out is what you know you need to do, then know you can make it through. You are walking the same path as many strong women before you, but it always starts with doubt. Who knows, maybe next time he threatens to leave you can ask him how fast he can pack? It might take some of the stress of it off you. It will be harder without family, for sure. Make sure you prepare yourself properly though, its all you can do.

Do you have online services for centrelink? They have an estimator on their OLS website that you can just run a quick thing on. It can give you a good idea of what you will be entitled to.

Hang in. You can do it. You deserve to be happy too. You know you will always find help and support here on BB.
