Abuse

My husband has been abusing me for years, we are married with a two year old and three month old. The abuse varies but tonight’s was saying I abuse our children. I can’t cope anymore, I adore my babies, I would do anything for them and they are my entire world. They are the only thing that keeps me going through this. Since my eldest was born he has threatened to take him away from me, have full custody and only let me visit, it’s scares me to death thinking this and this is why I have never left. I know he uses this as a control thing and it works. I don’t know why I’m posting just looking for some support. Sorry for typos

Your husband does not decide custody, family court does, when the parents do not agree. Please don’t let him abuse you any further by believing his arrogant posturing. He is full of hot air.

Please call the Domestic Abuse Hotline, open 24 hours a a day

They can help with advice on many aspects of abuse, how to get help or get out, and to some extent advise on your rights.
