Need tips fast on being safe!

[want2sleep]

Ok some of you know me as posted a lot (sorry) as ex been attacking for 2 years which thankfully stopped in March when cctv fitted:) Most of attacks where because of maintenance but some because of less trivial things like Christmas cards etc

So ex will be contacted again soon....can't go to much into detail but he is going to go nuts.

Any tips...no chance of moving though yet!

stay calm
keep up security
keep a diary if he does ANYTHING

If you have reported in the past ask the local Police domestic abuse unit to reassess the risk and implement a protection plan with you.

I will put post-its on doors to remind me to put door alarms on thanks Tiff. Diary good idea or email it to myself.

Scurry reminds me will check if I still have marker on property? Dont know if they expire?

What type of protection things can I ask for?

I am going to put foil on floor near letterbox as allow arson team doubled plated letterbox was bent first time and petrol could get through and foil it should burn on foil only?

I got smoke alarms...just cant get out if upstairs as leads to front door...that is the worry.

I'm worried as he will follow us then do something....worried taking ds out (not yet afterwards)

I know I will not sleep as will go into anxiety fight state and not sleep for nights (ten nights was longest then I start falling over/dropping things). It will be close to summer holidays then and wont have to worry about driving ds to school when not sleeping, so that is good.

advice here.

Domestic Abuse officers will assess with you...difficult to tell what they will suggest without knowing your risk as any strategy will be dependant on so many factors.

Who else do you have for support?

thanks scurry they gave me id number other week so if I phone they can see history etc asap and help...did have outreach from WA for 4 weeks in past. But that is all they can offer being so stretched.

Living with ds who is in KS1 and has a disability.

The contact will be a huge trigger as past behaviours shown.

E knows all coming and goings I think he watched for long time in past as ensures we are alone when strikes

It is the weapons I am worried about...police know but never took action in past. This is a threat at anytime I guess as ex is very very unstable and implusive with life threatening attacks.
