I believe I'm in an abusive relationship. How.do.i prove it?. I'm not even sure if it's me anymore. An example is he works shifts and won't tell me his rota as he says I'm controlling in asking . We have a child together and I don't work if that makes any difference. Tonight he's shouted at our child and really frightened me he then started having a go at me about our child in front of then. He claims I gaslight him and I'm honestly unsure if it's me

Just an update for anyone interested, I reported the abuse to the police tonight. They are going to arrange to take a statement

Been to the police this morning, although it's financial abuse and coercive control as he hasn't damaged anything in my house and or hit me its non arrest able. I have been given details of DV charities and have to evict him privately and get an non molestation order. I wish I was making it up.
