my girlfriend has four children by her ex husband.
he abused her and hit her before and social services got involved and things got resolved.
whilst with him, her and I got close and effectively started dating whilst she was still officially married but she had made if emphatically clear to him that it was over between them and he was only still about to help with the four children which he couldn't accept.
recently they agreed an amicable split, he would move out and they would share responsiblities with the children.
one night he got drunk and tried to kill her saying he'd allow nobody else to be with her.
she escaped and he got arrested. she later withdrew her statement (I can't figure out why) and because of this and his past history social services have gotten involved.
they have turned up unannounced a few times and my girlfriend, who is massively stressed and under a huge amount of pressure with four children, has been less than polite with them and has become extremely angry all the time.
she tells me she is angry because her ex husband will now no longer do anything with the children and may still yet go to jail and she is left with four children and social services harassing her.
she seems to be sinking into depression and she knows I am there for her but there is nothing I can do I feel.
any advice?
I can provide more information if needed
