just tried the number - it's not an answering machine, it's a recorded message telling you to hold while they put you on to one of their people.

You can go to a Refuge, if you want. There're no "bad enough" measures and your experiences over the longer term are key as well as the more recent episodes of abuse. Hope things improve and sorry you're having a tough time.
