Social services call out

So yesterday me and my boyfriend now ex fell out, he choked me out his elbow on my wind pipe so I couldn’t breath and kicked me with both feet in the stomach so hard I was slammed into the bathroom door, said he’d love to kill me. He left then and called the police saying he wanted a welfare check done on his son as soon as he left the door even though he knew the child was safe in bed. When the police landed I told them everything had happened and about another time he hit me 4 months ago where I was able to show them photos as I hadn’t made a report at the time. When I told them this he ended up being arrested (don’t actually know what he thought was gonna happen) but now I have a social worker coming out in the morning. There’s no chance of abuse or neglect being found as I’m the only one who actually looked after the child. Daddy was happy to play with him for an hour in the evening and got up with him every second morning but that was as much as he done. Now I’m panicking and overthinking what they’ll be looking for in when they come out, I know I’m a great mother but it’s just the doubt and uncertainty of what’s happening at the minute I’ve never had anything like this in my life before. Can anyone help or been through something similar as head is doing serious overtime

So they came out had absolutely no concerns about the child’s welfare just made it crystal clear if he comes back it will be an issue. I’ve given them all the numbers of my support network and the local women’s group I’m a part of so it’s all went really well today for me but the daddy has to be interviewed next so that’s when we’ll see how messy it’s gonna get but she was more concerned about making sure he doesn’t come back near the house again, though I’m sure he won’t as hell like to look like he’s playing ball

So glad hit went well. If he does come near you or your home please call the Police straightaway. Those Bail conditions are there for a reason! Wink

Glad it went well. Hope he doesn’t make it too messy.

I think social services are best involved at this point as the child is at serious risk of harm and since you’ve been back and forward with him accepting this horrible abuse then you need all the support you can get.
I wish you all the best of luck and hope this is the start of making better choices for you and your poor son who is more than likely witnessing this on and off cycle of abuse. This is such a horrible story and I’m so sorry it has been your life. I hope you get all the help you deserve and stay strong for the sake of you both.
