Sharan1, you don't have to wait. Gathering documents and all that stuff is NOT IMPORTANT in the big picture. If you feel like that it is time to go. Can you just walk out? Can you ring the Police?

Things will not change, you know that as well as we do.

You really do need to leave ASAP, forget the documents, you can obtain replacements later. The main thing is to get yourself and your daughter out of this living hell!

The stress is making you ill. You are right, nothing will change while you stay, but you can change your life and your daughters' by leaving. If you do nothing else tonight, re-read this thread and choose which organisation you would like to contact first. You can do this.
