Husband set up surveillance

Hi, im just quite upset and worried, i recently found out my husband fitted a recording device in my house so he could listen to all conversations and also had a recording app installed on my phone so all calls would be sent to him so he could listen private conversations.
I found out what my husband did while i was in labour giving birth to our son, as my husband was threatening to deal with me later. (He heard me bitching about my inlaws and is acting like i have commited a major crime) he left me in labour while he attended a wedding so i was very frustrated and in pain and vented to my sister, he herd all this as he had recording devices in my house.

Social services & police got involved and told me i was not allowed to remain with my husband as he was very controlling and maniplutive and they didnt feel me or the baby would be safe. He controlled every element of my life who i could and couldnt see, finances, what i wore etc

Now he has filed for divorce instead of getting treatment for his trust and childhood issues, he is making the divorce process very difficult, he is trying to get me to pay his legal fees, he wants 50/50 residency for our son even tho he has no relationship with our son, and i dont trust he will be safe if ever left with my husband, he is very calculating and controlling and has already threatened to take my son abroad where i cant find him.

Im not sure what to do, i dont want to lose my baby, its hard ever trusting any1 i have become so suspicious always assuming my calls are being recorded he really knocked my confidence what kind of help is out there for people in my situation? ....

Please please please press charges immediately. Waiting will only be questioned later in a custody battle. What he has done to you is seriously disturbing. He should be locked away. Not threatening to steal your son. Are you not scared that he would do that? Don't underestimate him!!

Please be safe. X

I am scared, but at the moment he cant get to me and im always with a friend or family member, i dont go out on my own. Plus my son is always with me, and i havent agreed any visitation with my husband.

I know you're scared, and with good reason. Pressing charges is the very best thing you can do to make you and your baby safe. He is a very serious threat to you both, make no mistake.

Please, tell the police now to prosecute. Don't leave that till the New Year. The rest can wait.

Is he pressing for 50/50 residency because he wants to get out of paying child maintenance?

HopelesslydevotedtoGu · 01/01/2017 22:16

Another voice saying please do press charges

You need to have clear evidence as to why you can't trust him with your child

Iz123 · 01/01/2017 23:11

He will be asking for joint residency, but hasnt done anything yet.

Its going to be a very long hard year ahead.

Please do press charges, this will really help you to protect yourself and your son.
My ex is like your ex, and I have stopped all contact with our baby. I know that will make me look unreasonable in the courtroom, but my baby's safety is more important than anyone's opinion of me. I wasn't strong enough to cut contact until my baby was a few months old, but my baby is much safer and much happier as a result x

Iz you really must press charges. If the police are telling you that you should then there is a reason for that.

Do it. You'll regret it down the line if you don't.

TreeTop7 · 02/01/2017 12:12

I hope you've pressed charges and are as well as an be expected, Iz.
