I was in a abusive relationship for years which I have left. We have children. I have reached out for support from mind for ptsd etc. They have said they want to get social services involved which does not make sense. The children are safe I just want to become stronger within myself. Why is it whenever you reach out for help parents feel like they can't because they bring your children into it. Surely this will make parents feel like they can't be open with them.
