Do it. Do it for you and do it for your dd. From one abused mum to another Thanks and a hand hold.

FelixFelicis6 · 23/06/2019 15:30

Well done. You need to show your daughter she will always come first Flowers

crankysaurus · 23/06/2019 15:30

Head on in, you're doing the best thing Flowers

MsPavlichenko · 23/06/2019 15:31

Please go in. He has started on your DD. You need to do this for both of you ( and any other DC ).

newmomof1 · 23/06/2019 15:31

You're so brave OP. Do it for DD Thanks

InTheHeatofLisbon · 23/06/2019 15:31

Well done for even getting there OP. You can do this, you're not alone. They can help you, help your DD to get free.

Crunchymum · 23/06/2019 15:31

Go in.

You get to decide how you will or will not be treated and what your deal breaker is. Your DD has none of these choices.

Please go in.

It will be hard, it will uproot your whole life but every single woman who has ever overcome DV will tell you, your life without him will be better. You'll sleep and breath easier, you'll regain your confidence and self esteem and you will earn back your DD respect. If you stay, she'll be gone as soon as she can be. And you'll loose her.

Theworldcouldbemymollusc · 23/06/2019 15:32

Yes. Walk in and report him. You need to put your daughters well-being before this abusive man. This is difficult but you and your dd deserve so much more.,

baubled · 23/06/2019 15:32

Go in OP, even if not for you, for your daughter. She needs to see that she is the priority

cakeandchampagne · 23/06/2019 15:33

Go in. Tell them everything.

You may not get another chance.

bloodywhitecat · 23/06/2019 15:33

Go in, for your daughter's sake, go in Flowers

Lipz · 23/06/2019 15:33

Well done, you are so strong, your dd will be so proud of you. You can do this. You deserve much better and so does your child. X

miaCara · 23/06/2019 15:35

Take that first so very important step OP. For your sake and for your DDs sake-end it now.

KaleidoscopeEyes · 23/06/2019 15:35

Please go in. You owe it to your daughter and to yourself. You've got so far getting to where you are, its just another small step

HeronLanyon · 23/06/2019 15:36

Head in. It gets harder when it gets worse. You’ve got a clear head and a good reason to report it. Good luck op.

Clusterfukt · 23/06/2019 15:36

Please protect your child OP. Please.

Help24 · 23/06/2019 15:36

Hand holding @helpdos
You've got this.
Xxxx

rebecca102 · 23/06/2019 15:36

GO IN THERE!

GroggyLegs · 23/06/2019 15:38

When I have to do scary things, I think of the bravest people I know and act as I think they would act.

You have already been so brave. I hope you have the strength to do what's right for you and your children Flowers

Evidencebased · 23/06/2019 15:38

I don't think anyone's ever really ready for the huge changes that happen in life.But we're stronger than we think,
You're not alone, thousands of us will be with you in spirit, and hand hold here for as long as you need.

Walk in with your head held high: so so much better than the police attending a hospital ward, if you or your Dd get really hurt.
He's gone too far.
Draw the line today.

Persea · 23/06/2019 15:38

Absolutely do it - do it for your daughter, and for you.

Theworldcouldbemymollusc · 23/06/2019 15:39

If you do not report this it is likely that your daughter will disclose this to a friend or teacher which will result in a safeguarding referral and she could be removed from your care due to you not protecting her. Just go and get help for you both. The police can remove this shitbag from your home.

knobblykneesandturnedouttoes · 23/06/2019 15:39

A grown man physically assaulted your daughter. You are her mother, report the crime.

Borris · 23/06/2019 15:41

Yes do it for your dd. She’s relying on you xx

MagneticSingularity · 23/06/2019 15:41

It’s not about your life being turned upside down now OP, it’s about protecting your daughter. He pushed her off a barstool this time, what about next time? Do it - you owe it to your daughter AND yourself.
