I don’t really know why I’m coming here. But I need a rant.
my uncle, attacked my ex partner on our daughters 1st birthday. (Off his face on cocaine) seen him outside my house and swung a garden tool at him and caused serious damage to his arm. The police was aware, but my family made me retract my statement because they said he will basically k”ll me. Crazy I know!
so anyway, I retract bare in mind his partner is evil. She’s reported to universal credit, she’s reported garden works ive had done in my garden, she’s made false malicious reports to the police about domestics (thankfully she made herself look an idiot on that end)
all been left, I’m heavily pregnant too and I’ve just got on with things really they are literally nothing to do with me and has a nasty evil bully I’ve never ever been close with him!
this Sunday ive had a women message
me about a house swap, offering me 5k. Well turns out this women is friends with my uncles girlfriend. I said no I’m not interested in her house, I’m not longer looking to move and she’s gone straight in for the attack being spiteful bringing private things up that my grandmother has told my uncle and it’s now being spread around. So at this point ive broke, and cracked.
yeara ago he was arrested for (accusations about touching his daughter) so I blurted it out and said how dare you sit there on a Sunday verbally attacking me for no reason mad told her some of their disgusting business. I feel bad, but I can’t stay quiet forever they have caused me so much stress recently!

my family have now said I should apologise for what I said aboir him to the women because he’s embarrassed.. I’m absolutely livid, he attacked my children’s dad the list is endless and they want me to apologise? I even did what they asked and retracted a statement and they still carried on. 😔

My children will suffer if I move away, with no one around just me in survival mode! Please to go and look up mental health and support network.

But your support network are so screwed up that they have managed to get you to retract a statement about a dangerous drugged up wanker?

Monkey5x · 25/09/2025 12:52

If you look above I clearly stated he attacked my ex partner in the street. He drove past with his disgusting girlfriend he lives two streets up. And he got out and hit my ex partner with a garden tool, jumped in her car and quickly drove off.

OP, I know you’re being defensive on here. I’d minimise contact as much as possible with this branch of your family and report him to the police.

Monkey5x · 25/09/2025 13:00

There’s no defensiveness, but some comments are awful. At not once firstly did I state he was here because he was not. Secondly people think they can just tell me to up and leave! As if it was that easy! 5 children under 6 I work, the list is endless my kids LOVE my mum and are so close with her! People think it’s easy to just type “you’re not putting your kids first” no that is exactly what I’m doing, unfortunately I can’t live on just universal credit with 5 children. Paid for two it’s impossible I’d put myself into misery and my kids!

Your children are in close contact with a violent drug using uncle and your family got you to drop charges against him. You are enmeshed in a toxic family dynamic and think "a lovely home" makes it all dandy.

It doesn't. Your children will suffer from being in such close proximity to such dreadful people.

It's sad you can't see the wood for the trees.

Right on - you are enmeshed in a toxic family dynamic. The whole thing is a hot mess.

Monkey5x · 25/09/2025 13:05

Omg I’m removing this thread, I cannot move it’s not an option! I totally agree they are disgusting but we can’t run from every situation in life. I wouldn’t even financially survive moving away is literally be in poverty lol

Monkey5x · 25/09/2025 13:10

I’m guessing some of you don’t work? Or are in a total different situation and don’t have 5 kids under 6 AND work?! Like come on🤣 my dad also ended his life 5 years ago so yes I’d like my mum and siblings as my support network.

VioletandMauve · 25/09/2025 13:19

5 children under 6. Ok then.

So you're going to have 6 kids under 6? Maybe do something about that.

Also, your family are your support network but also convinced you to withdraw your statement to the police?

VioletandMauve · 25/09/2025 13:19

Soon to be 6, OP is pregnant. Not sure how she works with all that maternity leave, and it must cost her a fortune in childcare.

murasaki · 25/09/2025 13:27

Most people use contraception and so most, they don't have that many young kids.

slashlover · 25/09/2025 13:38

So you've retracted statements on both your uncle and your ex-partner recently? Why was your ex at your house when he had bail conditions to stay away from you for 3 months?

Your poor kids stuck in the middle of this. Also is it 5 under 6 or 4 under 6? Is your ex the father of all the kids? (AS is enlightening)

No I’m absolutely not moving an away, I live in a lovely area. My kids love it here too. Not upping and leaving because of them x

It does sound lovely tbf....

Monkey5x · 25/09/2025 13:55

Firstly his bail conditions was gone, secondly how many children I decide to have is my choice especially when I provide for them not the state 🤣🤣 and no not 6 kids I’m due in 4 weeks. Yes I’m still working because I’m not a lazy scruff, my mum has my two younger ones and all of them on a weekend when I work! What the hell has any of this got to do with you bunch 😂

Monkey5x · 25/09/2025 14:00

Oh I’ll take my kids back now and shove them back up there 😂😂 listen, there’s so many little scruffs that pop them out, me however im still working my arse off and I’m about to drop any day. Maternity leave, I’m self employed. I have my own business and contracts in air b&bs. I will be back to work 14 days after my baby is born. How dare you tell me to use contraception, if your mother did that the world wouldn’t be full of such opinionated people

But you say you have 5 under 6 and are pregnant, which means it will soon be 6 under 6.

Maybe use contraception if the dad is getting bail conditions against you. He seems lovely.

While you uncle is attacking your ex who has only just been allowed to go near you. Your lovely half mil house where your neighbours hate you because of all the police and commotion you invite to the street.

You need to let us all know what you do for a living!!! You are self employed but have managed to have 5 kids in the last 6 years with no dad on the scene and living in a half a million pound house?! Amazing.

And didn't your ex (who your uncle attacked) have bail conditions set against him last month to not come near you for 3 months as he'd threatened you? Yet he was at your child's birthday party?

Monkey5x · 25/09/2025 14:20

The bail conditions was over, and actually my neighbours are reallyyyyyyyy lovely tbh. Glad I don’t have neighbours like you lot 🤣
no 4 kids and I’m about to drop but it’s a formed child isn’t it so I have 5 under 6🤣
