Sorry I know this is probably not the right place but genuinely need urgent advice.

DD split with BF on Friday, he didnt live with her but did stay over quite often. There's a back story but basically he's controlling, there's previous aggressive and violent tendencies from him, he's been arrested for assaulting her a couple of months ago (drink related).

She took him back after previous issues and agreed to help him work through his drink problem and mental health issues but things have not improved, he went to one counselling session and said he doesn't need help and refuses to take anti-depressants prescribed for him. She's been very low over the past few weeks and has admitted she can't cope with his issues and she's afraid of him.

on Friday she had a good talk to him and explained her feelings, it didn't go down well with him but she believed after hours of him not accepting it he agreed he understood. He wouldn't leave that evening and said he would sleep on the sofa and leave Saturday morning. DD didn't want to escalate anything so went to bed and got up for work Saturday morning under the impression that he would be gone when she got home.

Sorry, trying not to ramble .... Situation now is that he went out drinking all day Saturday taking her back door key and went back to her house before she finished work, he's refusing to leave. DD and I have tried reasoning with him by telephone but he's not listening, he was drunk last night so wasn't going to get anywhere with him really. We called 101 for assistance but couldn't get through although we held for an hour and 40 minutes, as it got late DD stayed the night with us. He's messaged her to say hes not leaving but DD is at work until 5pm tonight, DH and I were meant to be going away this weekend for DH birthday but now can't go because of all this and I'm at my wits end not knowing what we can do. DH and I could go round and eject him forcibly but we don't want to make matters worse or end up on the wrong side of the law! Can anyone please advise?

Would you not call the police if a known violent person had broken into your house and was refusing to leave? Call them, if there's ever a reason to!

Call the police 999 just get them involved to get him out of there.

Then tell your DD that she can't mend men like him he needs professional help.

She needs isolation from him else the next post will be how he "didn't mean to kill her as he was under the influence for drink drugs" whatever!

Go on do it now!

Police. I don't understand how you might think you'd be wasting their time. They'll be much happier to remove him from your DD's home before he does anything to her than arresting him after.

I honestly don't understand why you haven't called the police OP. I understand what you're saying about them being overstretched ibut this is literally what they are there for! They do prioritise calls as well so please don't ever be afraid to call them! I hope you call them asap and your DD can get back into her home.

WellThisIsShit · 08/10/2017 22:57

Such a tricky decision to call police when the party line is don't ever call 999 as they're too stretched!

(I didn't call 999 for an ambulance when I was very ill due to this programming. Luckily someone went for an ambulance and I was ok... because of their help though).

I hope your DD will also be ok in her 'different but equally in need of help' situation.
