Hello everyone I am new here.
My marriage is broken and beyond repair. My husband is abusive, menacing and forever angry. He has never laid a finger on me but in the last 2 years his campaign of abuse has reached deplorable levels. I thought the birth of our daughter last September would have changed him. No it got worse. He shouts and swears in front of her and only wants to look after her when it is convenient for him. So if there is football on he reluctantly takes her, for example. To add to that she is epileptic and as you may know stress is a factor in triggering seizures. I cannot say for sure it is his fault but he does not help. Even during the pregnancy he was not nice and when the moment of the birth came..... oh boy... it is much to painful to say. I had to force him to be there. Anyway yesterday he told me I can leave if I want to and move to Italy (where I am from) with her. I did ask him about seeing his daughter but did not seem bothered. I know better though. Because he is a bully, a nasty control freak once he really sees that I'm leaving he will raise hell. I recorded the moment he said I can go and live abroad (he said here in London I have no way to rent a place by myself and he won't pay a penny for me). Needless to say I have no income of my own and MAT pay is finished and with my baby the way she is now I don't think I can go back full time. Now my question is legal, is there anyone here who a tell me if verbal consent is enough for me to go to italy?
Tonight he woke her up with his shouting and she got strartled and then sezured. I cannot expose my baby to this and I won't go in a refuge because it is too confusing or her and knowing him he will destroy all my belongings and hers just to spite.
Sorry for the length of this post but I thought you needed info. Im desperate pls help.
Thanks
