I work for my husband, don't get a wage it all goes to him, I have no savings obviously, I live in his home, his name on the mortgage, I have been with him 16 years and have no friends or family I could go to. I have been isolated for 16 years and I can't cope anymore, I want to leave but where do I go? Is there anywhere in the country that will take me - I couldn't live on the streets I would just be too scared.
I have no-one to talk to and I can't stay I've finally become strong enough to leave but I don't have anywhere to go. Please someone help me.

Did he buy the home after you were married to him?
Does he own the business that you work at ? He may be in violation of labor laws and you can sue company for pay.

Okay with us, that is what anyone wants. You are on an international site. UK is not without good resoources. Do you have children? In any event, go on line and find a women's shelter nearest you. Leave the house and check into it. Shelters can provide anything you need to get on your feet and deal with your upcoming situation which will involve you contacting a lawyer to establish your rights.
Joy is correct; he owes you big time.

Yes we moved here and then married 6 years later. He says on paper I have £324.00 each month but it just doesn't come to me, so I don't have any savings to use

A solicitor will take him to the cleaners for all that back pay that you never got! You may get the house and can move back in without him. Don't let him start sweet talking you just because he wants his bread and butter. Find 2 female roommates (who can afford rent, very important).
I'm getting ahead of myself. This will take some time. But you have it to look forward to.
