Sat outside police station

[helpdos]

Please help me. I don't know if I'm ready for my life to be turn upside down.

He's been violent for year but he's now just pushed dd off a bar stool for Sticking up for me . She's 14

Your life has already been turned upside down OP, he assaults you, he's assaulted your child and he believes he has you well enough under control that he can do these things without consequence.

You are better than this life, you are better than he has you thinking you are and this is a watershed moment for you to show your DD what is and isn't acceptable. She'll thank you for it, because she'll take that attitude into adulthood with her, knowing that no man has the right to hurt her.

I know it's scary, believe me I do. I'm 12 years down the line, and I'm so glad I got out. I got out when he did it in front of DS1, that was my red line. It affected my boy, and I knew I had to show him a better way.

It gets better, I know it does.

Leave and stay left. Do not go back or listen to any pathetic pleas that he'll change.

Do you remember when she was a baby and you promised you’d keep her safe & protect her from all harm...well, now it’s time to follow through on that promise.

You CAN DO IT & you will be believed, no mattter what dickhead has said. 🌷

He’s not going to get any better, only much worse

Are you still outside OP?

Go in now. You owe it to your DD and also to yourself.

You don't need to put up with this any more. You don't deserve it. Take a deep breath now and walk through the door.

Sometimes courage is having the strength to walk away

Handhold here

You can do it x

You can do it OP, be strong.

Do it for your daughter. Show her that she doesn’t have to put up with shit. Don’t let her think this sort of behaviour is acceptable or excusable.

Do it. My mother didn't protect me, this stuff ruins relationships for ever if you don't do your job as a mother. I'm no longer in contact with mine , the resentment was too great.

You must do it. For you and for your DD.

Be strong

Please do it.

You're being very brave- something my mum wasn't.Protect your daughter and yourself, there might not be another chance. Be strong! we are all here for you xx

You can do this. You've made your mind up, that's why you're there in the car park.

Do it for her - we will all be here for hand holding when you come back out. She will be forever grateful you protected her and stood up for her, just like she stood up for you. Show her what brave looks like, I'm rooting for you

Good luck op.

Please go in.

Please do it for your daughter.
I'm sending you strength.

Your life is already upside down. This is not a normal way to live for you or for your child. There are people out there who can help you.

Go in for your daughter's sake. If you don't, you know the bastard will do it again, and next time the damage could be far worse.

You've got this!

Are you still sat outside?

You need to do it. What if the next time your daughter sticks up for you he has a knife in his hand? You need to protect her.

For both of your sakes, do it now. It'll only get worse. She's your daughter, even if you don't care about protecting yourself, protect her.

Hoping you're already in there OP. Handholding in spirit

You may be starting the process to turn your life right-side-up.

Go in.

Be clear from the first sentence that this is about domestic abuse. There are police staff specially trained in this area, and they will support you.

You can do this.

Please do this for your DD. I've been that child, it never leaves you. Please look after her and show her you are going to make this stop.
