Hi.

NC. this is outing

I have 3 children. 4 year old and 1 year old twins.

I spent the night away from home for a break. First time in years.

Got home. 'D'P (now ex partner) lost it. Called one of my babies a c*nt. said if she was his age he would've beaten her up! Pretended to punch me but stopped last minute. Smashed something up in the kitchen.

We've left. We've got a place to stay until Monday but what do we do after that? I have £80 to my name until next month as I only paid £900 rent yesterday.

I just need some advice really. Where do we go from here? He sent a grovelling apology but I'm done. I've taken verbal abuse for years but I will NOT have my children go through that.

Happy update!

We came to the refuge this morning. Has a cry on the way but oh my goodness, I feel amazing.
I feel stressed but I'm happy. I feel peace and I know my eldest feels the same.

I'm sure there are bad days to come but I feel the most relaxed I've felt in a long long time.

I cant say much as it maybe outing, but sometimes you don't realise how bad a situation actually was until you remove yourself from it.
The fact you and your eldest feel peace and safe in a 'strange' place shows how bad home life had become. You have been so strong and put your kids first x well done to you for being an amazingly strong wonderful mum and woman! 💗

Brave mum and keep being brave you did exactly right put the children first. We also have 1 year old twins and an almost 3 year old boy so I know how hard it will be for you. But you can do it your totally in the right and tbh shows what kindof partner he is if he wouldn't let you have the house with the kids and leave himself

Just wanted to say OP. Well done!

I did this 9 years ago, left with the clothes on my bag and my children. I saved and rented privately to get us out. It took weeks of planning.

However, 9 years on, I've qualified as a nurse 5 years ago (did my degree whilst building my life from scratch)

I have a new fiancé now, we have a nice happy life!

Being through this makes you realise what you deserve and what a happy life you can have!

👏🏻👏🏻

@Wheredowegonoww
Just wanted to wish you all the best. Its not easy to leave an abusive relationship but it's great you found the strength. Good luck to you and the children xxx

I don't know enough about supports in the UK to give you advice but I'm so glad that your children have a mum like you.
