I have 2 daughters, 8 and 2 years old with a narcissist. I thought he was a good dad just a bad partner...

I have no family of my own, my ex has a lot of family and a good portion of them know what he is and want me to get away from him but don't have the means to help me, plus he would just punish them for helping me... I haven't worked in over a year, my car is in his name, getting a place of my own if I couldnt stay at my current apartment would be impossible. There's a 2000 past due bill for electricity in my name so everything is in his name... I live in a very small town with no public transit system or shelter. I got help by caring people to leave him years ago and he reeled me back in at the last moment and so I feel like he ruined any sort of support I have to quickly get away and am too afraid to ask for help again because I can't be trusted to follow through ... I do have a friend who is willing to take me in and help me as much as possible but I just can't bring myself to burden her and her family with my problems, and she is also about 7 hours away.
