Hi,

I'm new to Mumsnet but I'm desperately in need of advice.
I'm 30 years old and I have two children. Iv been married for 9 years. My husband has been abusing alcohol since the very beginning. He is good with his words and every time he got into trouble he told me he'd stop and that finally his eyes have opened to the fact that he had problems. Iv seen this man hold a knife to my back while being pregnant ( he says he was holding the sharp end) don't think that matters what end it was. because I wouldn't give him the car keys to get more alcohol. Iv been dragged down the stairs and into the streets begging him not to leave the house as he wanted to drink drive. He's crashed multiple times. Thankfully not hurting anyone else.theres a endless list of abuse (verbal and emotional). I can't do this no more. His problems are just worsening and the abuse is affecting me in more ways than one. He is very clever and I'm yet to see him lose anything. He's manipulative and controlling. He's moved out now but the abuse is still in full force. If anyone could recommend a good legal firm, solicitor in the midlands area or even point me in the right direction I'd much appreciate it. Thankyou

Ring womens aid
Tomorrow
Use a friends phone if he checks your phone bill etc
They can direct you to your local abuse service

Hope you're ok

I've just left a similar relationship..
not as violent but other similarities

You're not alone x
