Where to get help for separation

[MYM]

I’m full time stay at home mom of 2 with zero income and zero saving, want to seperate from husband of 13 years. No, he’s not abusive. We just couldn’t work out our issues. I’m about to explode, I can’t deal anything anymore, especially my emotions. I don’t have family or close friends, just me alone. I was wondering what kind of support or assistance I can get from where? Please help me point to right direction. 🙏🏼 Thank you.

Hi MYM

Rather than separating, have you given any thought to marriage counselling. It would be best to do this as a couple, but a few one-on-one sessions with a counsellor from "Relationships Australia" (RA) might help identify the problem you and your husband are having. Geoff has passed on the RA contact details above; give them a call.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do; but separation may not be the best go-to solution; especially when children are involved. In saying that, I do not know your situation; only you know what is best for you.

At the very least; please talk to someone from RA before you go down the separation path; there may be other options.
