Scared

[omgno45]

If I go to the police station today to report my abuser will they tell him?

im frightened to death but its time. I can’t take the abuse anymore. It’s constant. It’s relentless.
he abuses me so badly then tells me I’m mentally unwell.
we have an 11 month old baby that I won’t let him see which is making him furious.

even when he contacts me about the baby, the messages are followed with “your De*d-“
Calling my body. My parenting. My family. Calling my other kids.

im just an empty shell now. I know if he got his hands on me again it will be the end for me.

I told my family what I’m going through and they’ve not checked on me in months.
I’ve got nobody. Absolutely nobody

dont want him to know I’ve been to the police

Yes, report, report your fears. They should help you. If not contact women's aid, social services and do have a place of safety to go to? Somewhere to stay.

You want the police to do something to get him stopped or removed from your life. That's a good step and courage to you.

Hi OP, from your post it sounds like you're no longer with this person but he is still harassing you? I would speak to the police, they will talk through your options and what they can do. It sounds like you have evidence of his harassment in messages?

You need to think about what you want to happen. If you don't want police to approach him, how can they help you? Do you want him arrested? Charged? He will have to be told of the accusations against him if that's the case. Can you contact Women's Aid or National Domestic Abuse Helpline for support?

Does he know where you are? Can you move to a safe place where he can't get to you, eg call women's aid and get into a refuge, and then tell the police? Screenshot the messages now for evidence in case he deletes them. I'm sorry you feel you have no one - if that is the case it's definitely time to change your life and get yourself into a safe place where you can settle and build your friendship network up. It's hard to have strong relationships with other people when you are dealing with abuse. Be strong, you can do this.
