Coronavirus and domestic abuse

[Resisterance]

Me and kids have had to self isolate as of earlier this week due to symptoms of C-19. This is difficult enough as feeling rubbish and now desperately worried about work and money.

However it's abusive ex's weekend this coming weekend and he's refusing to believe that we're in self isolation and seeing it as me trying to prevent contact instead.

This means on top of keeping kids busy and trying to assess situation and still do some work, and rest. It's so fraught! He's bombarding me with emails and it's so stressful. What can I do?

Block him for the time being - even tell a lie and say you've all gone away to a safe place - don't answer the telephone or door and make sure it is well locked.

If you have a dad or male relative who carries some weight, ie whom he respects, get them to speak to him sternly.

What a bully and fool the man is.

Good luck.

Legal advice I’ve had is you are within your rights to do this as it’s govt imposed. Make sure you have notification in writing. Could they speak by phone/FT? I feel your pain I’m in a similar situation
