A couple of months ago I left my psychologically/verbally abusive partner. I left with our child and never looked back. Initially he was having contact but it was all too much. If I so much as hinted that I couldn't meet his demands he threw the dummy out. He's now resorted to threatening behaviour (mild but still not nice) and I don't feel safe around him.
I visited a solicitor about a month ago, who sat with me, told me I'm doing the right thing and to cut all contact. She would send him a letter and everything would have to be sorted out via solicitors. Great I thought.
2 weeks later, phonecall from financial department to talk about mortgage with me. I went in, turns out initial letter hasn't been sent. I chased solicitor, no answer. Left a voicemail, no response. Asked financial advisor to contact her, again, nothing. Sent email... nothing. So I've now been ignoring my ex for a month, no letter has been sent, he's getting angrier and angrier. I'm getting more and more scared of him.
I'm going to have to go in and actually talk to the solicitor in person but this isn't always easy when you're a single mum to a little baby. I feel like I've done my fair share of trying to make this right.
Why the hell hasn't she sent the letter?
AIBU to be furious being as though I can't afford to go elsewhere now?
Such a horrid situation and I feel that solicitors should understand that they should be more responsible, especially with domestic abuse cases.
