My Husband has been taken into custody

Howdyagetstokillaroo · 25/07/2018 20:08

He has broken my nose, my left cheekbone and dislocated my shoulder. My children are with my mum and the police have called social services. I am paralytic with fear that they will take my babies away. He always said they would because one day he would kill me.

Report if you don’t believe the OP Sarahlou but take your snarky posts elsewhere. This may just be a vulnerable person in crisis but hey it’s just an anonymous forum where words don’t matter, right?!

Don't be scared about the manipulation you'll have gas and air and morphine. (I've had this myself) concentrate on the gas and air. You'll be ok. Stay strong xxx ❤️

Loyaultemelie · 25/07/2018 22:20

As everyone has said this is not your fault. Let the police and ss help you and your children now and you will get away Thanks

redcaryellowcar · 25/07/2018 22:23

Just read through your thread, so many helpful and supportive messages, take one step at a time, you've probably got a huge amount going through your head, firstly get shoulder sorted, injuries logged, see police etc. So pleased your mum is looking after your children, sounds like she's doing a great job, and whilst I'm sure she would like to be there to support you, you can rest knowing they are safe with her.
I've found medical professionals often respond well to you bring honest with them about your fears, they will talk you through what is happening etc.

Tomselleckhaskindeyes · 25/07/2018 22:23

Social services do not want to take children away from a loving mother but you need to work with them and do what is required for you all to be safe.

Silentpartner · 25/07/2018 22:24

OP as someone who has been in your position the best advice I can give is PRESS CHARGES. Doesn’t matter to SS how scared you are of him, how much you don’t want to drag the kids through a court case. If you don’t press charges SS will hold it against you.
Walk away and prosecute him as the scum he is and they will support you and your kids through anything.
Be strong. Focus on your kids. I am available if you need to talk

jpclarke · 25/07/2018 22:26

Stay strong OP you can get through this, one thing at a time please don't be afraid of the police you have done nothing wrong. Take care of yourselfThanksThanks

seasure · 25/07/2018 22:27

He's a coward. Once an outside agency steps in these types of men tend to back off because they know you are no longer alone .
Thanks

PumpkinPie2016 · 25/07/2018 22:27

I have nothing useful to add to what has already been said OP but I wish you all the very best.

Take care Flowers

MaintainTheMolehill · 25/07/2018 22:31

Nothing else to add OP, just wanted to say that I wish you strength and courage on your road to a better life without that bastard.
Please take all the help you can get. One day you will look back at this terrible time from a much, much happier place Flowers

Brendatheblender · 25/07/2018 22:32

There's a woman on Facebook, part time working mummy, she does a lot of work with women and families that are in your position. She has a lot of followers that help her with donations, both money and items, as well as lots of support and advice. If you have Facebook it might be worth looking her up and contacting her or her team? At least until you feel ready to talk to someone on the phone or in person.

cindersrella · 25/07/2018 22:35

The doctor probably said not yet as the police will possibly want to take photos of your injuries as they are x

TheConstantMoaner · 25/07/2018 22:35

Don’t have much to add except to say stay strong. Thinking of you Flowers.

ohfourfoxache · 25/07/2018 22:36

Oh op Sad

None of this is your fault. The fact that this escalated over you asking him to put is washing away only goes to show what a fucking maniac he is.

Keep talking, we’re listening xx

Bingbangboo1 · 25/07/2018 22:41

I really hope you and your babies can start afresh and make a new life you deserve xx

LEMtheoriginal · 25/07/2018 22:43

You have done nothing wrong. I hope they throw away the key!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 25/07/2018 22:44

I hope they drop the key in the ocean from a great height. If he'll beat up his wife the mother of his children. No women is safe.
Hopefully if they do lock him up he'll be faced with the big boys. He won't be so tough then, will he.
How are your little ones doing. Did they witness it. .

TheShapeOfEwe · 25/07/2018 22:45

I hope you're ok OP - focus on healing and your children. SS won't take them away if they see that you love them and can care for them. Your life is going to be so much better without this evil abuser in it.

ferntwist · 25/07/2018 22:48

So sorry you are going through this. Please don’t let him back into your life. You should never have had to put up with this. How can he do this to the mother of his children? You deserve much better.

bonitabonita · 25/07/2018 22:51

Please look after yourself op xx

Tistheseason17 · 25/07/2018 22:58
