I have to bide my time for two months. How is this possible?

I have been in an abusive relationship since Sept 2010. I had him arrested, and had a RFA order once, but ended up going back. *shameful*

Now, I am finally ready to leave for good!!! The problem is I won't have the money to leave for two months, when my student loan comes in. So basically, I have to bide my time for two months. How is this possible???
I just want to LEAVE. Thsi situation is unbareable. My fiance is sooo mean, and irresponsible with 'his money'. His kids are TERRORS who copy their fathers abusive behavior with my kids. My kids are in the middle of this whole awful mess and it is all my fault. My heart breaks for my babies. But I have no options. Either I stay, or we will be-literally-living out of my van in the middle of winter.
Please help give me some advice to stay sane. I just need some support, and some well-wishes. Anyone else had to bide their time before implimenting their exit plan???

Yes. Its a different situation but I grew up in an abusive home and had to 'bide my time' until I was old enough and had enough money to get out on my own. It was a daily struggle, but I am glad I made it. Guilt stinks. You shouldnt feel guilty for your decisions, nobody is perfect. Now that you are aware of the situation you need to get out of it. You are one of the lucky ones because most women do not have the resources to leave. You have made it this far.. in two more months you will be a different woman.
