My friend is in an abusive relationship. She is a Tennant of social housing and has moved her partner in about six years ago. Basically, she had him living there pretty quick.
There are no kids involved as they left home when this man moved in.
He isn't on the tenancy agreement.
But my poor friend has been beaten up by this brute on numerous occasion and she did all the right things, she contacted women's aid when he broke her arm last year. He also put her in hospital the year before. (She said she fell over) and had her cheekbone broken.
Well last year when he broke her arm she had domestics come ti see her as she finally admitted he hurt her, so women's aid were intouch.
Now here is what we don't understand, although she was intouch with women's aid, they were telling her to move out of her home!
This is solely her name on the tenancy agreement.
They also gave her advice about when she calls the police to dial a certain number, she also had her house marked.
Anyway, she did have to call the police last month as he cornered her and was kicking her. She did what she was told to do but no one came out to her!
She has now resigned to just getting used to it and women's aid told her they are signing her off as she isn't interested in reporting him.
I'm so worried for her, she never told women's aid she called the police as she thinks its just not important.
This man has tried to choke her twice now. She was referred to marek. But they say she is the one who need to move when its her house!
Me and my partner can't keep having her turn up whenever she is abused.
Help please
