Posting for traffic.

I'm in an abusive relationship, making plans to get out but my god its so hard. I am struggling so much today.

Does anyone have any tips on how to survive?

I know I'll be OK once he's gone but I'm having to get my ducks together so need to stay for now.

Incase it makes any difference its co ercive control and financial abuse.

This is along the lines of what I need but has to go to court first.

A non-mol will work just as well. They are heard in court on an emergency basis, and when granted, he will have to leave.

The last incident has to be within 14 days, coercive control and financial abuse are ongoing, do a fresh report to the police and you've met the threshold.

You can also get Legal Aid for a non-mol. My firm does it. Ring around. You do NOT have to stay in this until December.

Trying to answer as many questions as I can.
He has not made a significant contribution to the house, not financially or in terms of effort even.

We do have a child together.

When I spoke to the police I was told its illegal but not arrestable.

Women's aid have told me he has to go to court. I actually have to write a letter to tell him to leave.

It's a letter before action.

Dear Mr Wankstain.

The relationship between us is over.

You have no rights over my home.

You have 12 days to secure alternative accommodation. Otherwise, I will seek further legal advice/make an application to court. (Use whichever you prefer.)

The last part is key. It puts him on notice that you will go to court, and it lets the court see that you've given him an opportunity to leave before taking action.

Thank you . I was going on previous advice but I think i need to look at moving it along

This is crazy, this world.
Sorry.
A male abuser in MY house, and me not being able or scared to get him out?
🤬
I'm not being smug or naive, too old for that.
Would never allow a man into my living space,
when that time comes.
Glad the OP is in contact with Women's Aid,
although I'm not savvy regarding this stuff.
All the best.

Hope you're ok.

Hopefully he stays away.

RandomMess · 04/08/2024 08:41

Hopefully you can get an emergency non-mol and occupation order tomorrow.

Get the locks changed today, have you someone that can help you do that?

Someonehelpmeagain · 04/08/2024 09:32

I'm waiting om police to advise bail conditions, yes, I have someone to change the locks

OP posts:
RandomMess · 04/08/2024 09:37

At this point I would get them changed anyway as I would be worried that regardless of bail conditions he will try and force entry.

Was he violent or aggressive at all to lead to his arrest?

thisisasurvivor · 04/08/2024 21:41

OP you are amazing

And much stronger than you realise

I wish I could give you a big hug xxxxxxx

Have you reported the verbal abuse to the police? Surely it comes under threatening behaviour?

I reported this once years ago got told at least he doesn't batter you and sounds like a relationships breakdown. I also had SS who said it's a private matter and they were not concerned so go to court. It's not that easy. It's hell actually.you wouldn't believe how hard it is and if it goes to court, guarantee he will more rights than should be allowed. Can't say more as don't want to out but it's a minefield.

ForKeenDeer · 04/08/2024 21:49

I've just seen he has beens arrested, glad things have changed in the last few years!

CalamityClam · 05/08/2024 21:38

How are you @Someonehelpmeagain ?

Someonehelpmeagain · 05/08/2024 21:40

He was at least arrested but NFA. I'm still considering my options in regards to non molestation and contact etc .

Is it possible for you to rent somewhere else? Without him?
