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

Don't be afraid and please do go in. In there, you will find support, help and advice. There are people waiting to help you, you just have to tell them.

Do it OP, do it for your daughter. Show her that nobody deserves to live in a relationship that is full of fear and abuse. Good luck

I hope you mustered up the courage to go inside and make that huge change.

It will be frightening but will be so much for the better in the long run.

Come back and vent, ask questions and moan, if you need to!

Be brave for your daughter. She needs you now. 💐

Well done for going there op. Please go in 💐💐

If you let this go your poor daughter will start to normalise this behaviour and end up married to someone else who uses her as a punch bag. I know it’s hard but do it for you both.

Hope you're ok OP.

Brave first step to go there. Hope you've managed to go in. I imagine it's very daunting.

You need to do this. Youve got as far as the police station, do it for dd

Time to put your life back the right way.

You can do this.

You can do it OP

Do it for your DD, show her that sometimes you have to be brave in order to do what's right.

Please go in

Years ago I was due to prosecute a domestic violence case.

The victims boyfriend had kicked down the door to the house and throttled her whilst her toddler looked on.

I sat and spoke with the victim about her wish to withdraw her evidence. She told me she wanted it to go away but was scared one day he'd hurt her DD.

Her mum told her to pull herself together because "all men shove you around a bit".

Be the better mum. Good luck.

Thinking of you I hope you are ok, OP? I hope you managed to talk to the Police and got the info & support that you need. Well done.

Please do it for your daughter. She deserves it and she's counting on you - set an example you can always be proud of. Good luck.

Hand hold x

Find your feet and do it!

Well done for getting this far Op. Amazing 💐

I IMPLORE you to go in OP, please. I found out my ex-h had been abusing my daughter (physically) but not until after he left. I will never ever forgive myself. She was around the same age as your DD. She got a lot of support through various agencies but didn't want to go through the trauma of a potential prosecution. Essentially he's got away with it. Don't let that happen. Show your DD that you are not just her mum but her protector. I wish that I had had that same opportunity

I really hope you managed it OP.

If not today, then tomorrow. She needs you to show her that this is not okay.

And then get a copy of the book 'living with the dominator'.

Good luck x

Please go in OP. Is your daughter somewhere safe right now? Is he still in the house? Please go in. x

And OP, if you couldn't face it today, that's also okay.

Make a plan, gather your strength, involve your daughter in your plans, then follow through when you're in the right mindset.

Another one hand holding for you and hoping you are ok. Do it for your DD, do it for yourself, but do it.

If op has gone in (which I hope she has ) she will be there for quite some time.

When I reported being da the police came to my house and took my statement, 4 hrs they were here.

Please do it. Your poor daughter

Your op gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes.

I hope you've gone in and you're getting the help you need

He's now given himself permission to be violent to your child. That's a huge boundary to cross It's all down hill from here for her. That's it now. This is the line.

If you don't do it, your daughter will never forgive you. Never. For not protecting her from this animal. Please........ I was your DD and I'll never ever ever forgive my Mum for not protecting me from my Dad. I'll never respect her
