Hi, I've name changed recently but used to post as AmIU, I've posted a bit about my DH's violence in the past. He sought psychiatric help and stopped for 2 years but he's hit me again tonight and I want to leave.
He's gone out for a bit and I really need some answers
Please help me:
- can I drive the family car? It's registered in his name but I'm fully insured on it and have sole use as he doesn't drive
- can I get any hotel without a credit or debit card? I know my card number to pay online but don't have access to the actual card
- can I get any help from the police if I don't press charges? I have 2 DC (2 and 5) and we live in a flat, I'm worried about physically leaving. He's not back at work till Tuesday. He's on a visa and I'm worried about it getting revoked if I involve the police
- what should I pack?'im going to pack quickly and hide the bag in the car whilst he's out.
- can I get any benefits/ child maintenance if we're separated not divorced?
- can I leave personal info with anyone in zone 3 se London? I don't have any family in the country or friends I can tell, I'm worried if anything happens to us
I've tried the DV helpline but it keeps going to voicemail.
