Hello Overwhelmed_Laura, this is not a particularly pleasant environment for you as you have already said, and to remain in this situation is not helping you with your health.

Can I ask if his name is involved in the business, but a suggestion is Anglicare can put and your dogs into a house/unit until it settles down and until eventually you can find a place for yourself.

This would require a separation, but would dearly love to hear back from you.
