Domestic abuse and gaslighting by husband and twin sons ! I am going round in circles we have a social worker as my husband has thrown drinking glasses and hit one of the boys whipped him with keys thrown mobile phones at them and walking sticks ! But regardless of this they will not help me
My sons have physically attacked me ! But my husband has them all fooled his favourite saying to them is it’s a bad change !!
If I leave who looks after my boys ! After the lady attack they admitted that they had taken the car and driven it more than once !! I have for the last 4 years had to take the front and back door keys to bed with me as one of the boys had been going out in the night !! ( they are 16 in aug )
Husband is disabled due to a stroke our previous s/ worker made my husband aware I was going to divorce him after a confidential meeting she put this info in to the minutes and gave them out in the next meeting !
Divorce papers served in Jan but he gave them to one of the boys to read !! And refuses to sign !
This will be served again but I have asked to wait untill we are of lock down so I’m not stuck in the house with the 3 of them !
I feel like I am already mad

Oh my god.

I wish I had some good and wise advice but this is bloody appalling.

This could go on indefinitely. Can you record some of their behaviour? At this point I wouldn't worry about the morals of setting up cameras in your home.

You can speak to woman's aid, a refuge could be an option?

Spoken to woman’s aid one of the local domestic abuse advisors she told me after 10 mins to go home and take control of my kids !!

I could go to parents but they 1.30 away ! It’s so volatile here fighting husband has thrown drinking glasses walking stick mobile phone at them and they have had punching fights between them ! I have been told one or more will be criminalised .
Even though soc Servs know all of this
And I have taped the arguments & fights but apparently now nobody wants to see them I have to have there permission to tape this 😂😂

Call the police and have them arrested?

Or leave and let your STBXH to deal with it?

Leave and go to your parents.

Sweetnessandbite · 25/05/2020 03:15

Kazza, sorry you are going through so much and no-one is listening.

Are your sons violent towards you when your H isn't around? If you chucked him out, or left with them to your parents would you be safe with them?

Kazza53 · 25/05/2020 23:52

Husband is disabled so it would me that had to go
The violence happens both when he is there and not today furring a argument one of the boys turned the pressure washer on his dad and threaten me with the same ! They argue and fight but nobody will listen to me it’s all very one sided as he tells them I’m having a bad change !
The boys are taking after him shout you down to get your own way
