How do I leave?

Throwaway account so he doesn’t find this.

How do I leave?? We have an apartment together, 2 kids, 1 car with both our names on it. We’re low income combined, so by myself I’d be even lower income.. my credit score is just “fair” so I don’t know how I’d get approved for a place on my own, in addition to my lack of income. I’d qualify for government assistance for like medicaid and food stamps if I left him. But I don’t know about a place.

I’m so unhappy. He has put his hands on me numerous times including when I was pregnant with both kids. There’s emotional, psychological abuse involved. It’s been ongoing for 3+ years now. We’re not married. But our lives are completely intertwined. I have no freedom. He tracks my location on my phone with FindMy. I can’t have any friends. I have no family that could/would help me out. I’m not allowed to go anywhere without his permission and without him tracking my every move, not even by myself. I walk on eggshells all the time. I want out. I need out. But I don’t know where to even start. I’m sorry if this is all over the place. I’m in a spiral rn. I feel alone, and scared. I want to get my kids and myself away from him but I don’t know how…
