My brothers girlfriends Dad is an abuser. History of beating his wife and children including her ( social services got involved over it). Horrible drinker. Controlling, abusive in a number of ways.
When she got pregnant she wanted to stay with us. (we live two hours away from her dad). Her dad drove to my mums house, with his brother and her cousin and locked her in her car and drove away. Her uncle was screaming slag at her and spitting on her.
She escaped and came back to us. She got a house here and was happy.
When she was 36 weeks pregnant she had a slight bleed and hospital treated her. Her dad rang going mad saying it wasn't good enough (?).
Her mum then talked her in to going back to them, but her mum wont have her at her house so she's with her dad a lot :( it was supposed to be for a few weeks but she went and didn't come back. I don't know if she chose this or her dad threatened her because my brother wasn't allowed to stay with her, he stayed at his friends while she was with him. Her and my brother now rent a house near her dad.
He tells her she is an unfit mum - This started because baby (now 9months) Had sticky hands and she wiped them with a wipe. He said she should have bathed him. He threatens to take him and get custody (over my dead body would that happen).
He goes to her house to check my brother isn't there (its my brothers house too, they rent it, both are on the tenancy).
My brother has come back here because she is scared to have my brother in the house.
Her dad has now taken her keys and says she doesn't deserve the house or her baby. So she stays with her dad. She could come here but she cant get her stuff from her house because he has the keys. She doesn't want to call the police and have her family turn against her.
He is just awful, but she believes every word he says, she believes he will get custody of her son. She believes she cant go and get her things until he decides to give her her keys etc.
Now the landlord wants her out and hes said she cant keep her stuff at his. I believe she has to be out by Wednesday.
She is at my mums this weekend and i will hopefully see her tomorrow.
WIBU to beg if i have to, to get her here? My house would be cramped, but we would manage and i have enough money to cover her food and a bit of extra electricity etc,and even baby's things if needs be.
If i can get her to agree my plan is to get someone with a van somehow (i have friends who could possibly help) or if i have to, take an empty car, demand the keys from her dad and call the police if he wont give them to me, take what we can and she can stay here. (or would landlord have a set?)
She says she wants to be up here, she misses being here. I have spoken to my letting agent who are happy to let me know as soon as affordable properties come up for rent etc.
I don't want to leave her and my nephew with that bastard. He has no right to treat her like this.
Sorry its so long.
Do you think this is a good idea?
