Childrens anger after fleeing domestic violence

I have recently fleed domestic violence with my 2 DC s . They have lost everything, their house, things ,pets ,friends, schools, clubs ,and of course their dad .
I feel so guilty, their behaviour dd9 ds8 is awful, they are for the first time telling me to go away, shouting, hitting out at each other , screaming at each other , and repeating violent things that they have heard from my stbxh .
I am involved with a domestic abuse charity and i have asked for help for them only to be told nothing exists.
Any ideas ,books, worksheets anything that anyone has found helpful?

It's appalling that there is no help for them. Are the school able to do anything for them?

That's terrible, have you tried talking to their school to see if they can help or have any suggestions about who to contact? I would also speak to your dr and social services, try to get some play therapy for them perhaps. They deserve some help and support, i hope they are able to get some.

Thank you for replying . We are new to the area so we are still waiting for a school placement. The GP has referred to camhs but the waiting list is huge 12 months plus.
in the mean time the children are expressing all their fear and anger onto me and each other . i have tried everything .
