Hi so my dad had got annoyed the other day that my partner had not cleaned up my house whilst we were away on a family holiday and just doesn’t like him in general but my partner has a lot going on at the moment in his life which I feel bad for .
My brother had text me one night kept asking me if my partner was back home from work yet and when I said he was back they had said there coming and said “don’t tell him we’re coming to him “

My boyfriend went out the house and crossed my dad and brother outside my flat and my dad and brother had been punching him and my boyfriend didn’t do anything back .
My partner got annoyed and came back and said to me he needs his stuff and took my daughter away from me just so she’s away from my dad and I had tried to get her back but he wasn’t having it and walked off so my dad had chased him with a screwdriver threatening him with it then because my dad and brother had attacked him beforehand he had a belt wrapped round his hand and punched my dad in the face with it which marked above the lip with it bleeding a bit and it having too just get glued shut .
I took my daughter as my dad had the screwdriver went off with her and then he had taken her back to his friends car to drive off .
I went back upstairs to my flat and said omg I thought he had a weapon then but he didn’t then my dad kept telling me to say to police it was a knuckle duster or some type of sharp object and blackmailing me and saying I didn’t see nothing I better not tell them anything so I said to police erm I think he had a knuckle duster I really don’t know though and ky dad had got my brother to follow me to make sure I don’t tell police the truth which made me uncomfortable. I don’t know what to do my dad and brother had lied to police and now partner is on bail till November so can’t see me or my kids 😔 what do I do ? I don’t want too lie and I certainly am not sticking up for my dad as he’s in the wrong and don’t think my partner should be on bail from me or my kids

What could happen in this situation also with him ? My partner hasn’t for a record what so ever but my dad has a record and history of violence but hasn’t been jailed i think

For goodness sake, I just tell the truth to the police

Jesus Christ, so your partner was assaulted by you father and brother. He then tried to get away from the situation and take your daughter away to safety but your dad went at him with a screwdriver. Your partner defended himself with a belt, been arrested and now you're being pressured into making up a false witness statement...to protect the ones who committed the assault?

No, don't lie your partner shouldn't be thrown under the bus and you'll get yourself into more trouble.

This is on your dad and brother, not you.

Your boyfriend sounds like a good man. Why would you throw him under the bus for these evil monsters? And FGS now when he comes out social services are going to be all over you and potentially forbid him from seeing his own daughter. If you continue to support your father and brother and the truth comes out, you could lose your daughter as well because you're not protecting her from violent abusers.
Tell the truth sooner rather than later. It might feel like you're in too deep now but believe me, that pressure gets worse and worse as the evidence gathering, trial date, court case and sentencing happen.

You need to tell the truth.

Seriously? Tell the fucking truth.
