Hey @Molly001 I agree with @ordinarygrace you don't actually need physical injury, as the definition is so much broader than that in domestic disputes/violence.

Definitely need to speak to legal aid.

There is alot of assistance, you are eligible for family tax benefit for your 2 children, that helped me plus I had to secure full time work as well, it was enough to support us all. I am years past it now my kids have grown and my baby just finished VCE. No more Centrelink so financially its hard after my 2nd diagnosis in 2015 and being on part income protection. I am well and kicked butt and back full time next year in a new job, and moving with my partner of 3 years to the other side of the city.
There is life after all of this...there really is! so hang in there.
