This is going to sound like a weird situation, but it is true

[knackeredknitter]

Basically my h insists on looking after the children, and will not let me do anything. He doesn't actually tell me I can't but gets stroppy if I do.
He will say the food I cooked tastes "nice now I have put ketchup on it"
He has in the past, and I am not kidding, put salt in the flour so the dc won't eat what I have baked, has burnt food by turning hob up to full blast when I have left it simmering, just lots of strange things.
To everyone, he is a great hands-on Dad, but to me he is a bully who tries to stand between me and my children.
I think if I tell anyone they will think I am mad, and tell me to be more appreciative.......
Am I bonkers?

If you can post your postcode there will be Mnetters nearby who can help. Also the 112 emergency number can be used instead of 999. 112 enables the 3G network to track your phone so if you can't speak you can still use it.

Wow this is so chilling and scary. Be very careful OP and start to gather important documents like birth certificates so they are safe. Don't tell him what you are doing and keep deleting your history on your phone and computer as others have said. Contact WA again, someone will answer soon.

could you get a friend to come and fetch you and your children?

Hope you are ok. Where are you op?

I hope you are OK too. Do keep trying with Women's Aid, I know they're difficult to get through to but they can help.

Like a poster said above, if you email them they can call you back.

I hope you're OK.

Hope you are alright OP...please try to post soon...quite a few of us here thinking of you...seems a while since we last heard from you xx

Just wanted to say I, too, am thinking of you, OP. I hope things are OK. Your thread made me feel very concerned for you. Keep safe x

OP, I really hope you are ok. Please come back soon to let us know you are alright. I'm very concerned for you x

You ask on here if it is unusual behaviour, yet say you've tried calling WA lots of times previously? hmmm

How do you receive your benefits if you do not have a bank account?

I'm not sure why but this thread reappeared when I was using mn on my phone. OP I have thought of you many times since I first read it, the situation you described was so dark. I hope hope hope you managed to get help to leave. If not, it's still possible.

OP, sorry for my out-of-place post upthread.

Hope you are ok and that Women's Aid are helping you.

I hope she is ok OP we are thinking of you! Please let us know if you need help x

I just read this, I do wish the OP would come back

Come back and update OP.

The thread is 2 years old.
Couldn't you have sent the OP a pm

I received an email from MNHQ last night linking this thread and suggesting I had been unsympathetic in my post - I didn't notice the date - so how incredibly weird. That would explain why (as I told MNHQ) I didn't remember the thread or actually posting on it.

Reading between the lines, it appears that somebody (not the OP) reported me, so I got a mild warning last night. I was also told thank you for apologising on the thread.

And look at jollygolightly's post just before mine.

I am really confused.

Somebody has been trawling old threads and reporting posts that are "unsympathetic" ?

And HQ have gone along with this to the extent of dropping someone a "Mumsnet Calling" 2 years after the event ? How strange (and pointless) that they did that, perhaps they also didn't notice this was a Zombie thread

God help me then

I've emailed and asked if they realised the thread was over two years old.

I had no idea it was so old - it was fresh in my mind and no zombie warning on it.

Duh, just noticed the year

And I can see why I didn't notice the year either .... My 'Mumsnet Calling' email of last night referred to my 'recent' post.

Sorry, LineRunner,

This thread had recently been reactivated, so appeared to be a 'live' thread. Unfortunately we didn't notice it was actually two years old.

So sorry for any confusion. Clearly, we're not infallible (but we're always ready to put our hands up if we get things wrong).

OP, if you're still reading, we really hope things are okay for you.

Here is some Dawn
