Thanks again for the lovely messages.
I went to the doctor yesterday afternoon, they are doing to put a health visitor in touch with me and have made appointment for my daughters injections that she has missed while away. They have also referred me to social services given my situation.
The doctor sent me up to the hospital for an x-ray to make sure nothing fractured and thankfully there is not.
A couple of you have asked about my husband coming to the UK- He does know where my sister lives, I don't think he knows the postal address but he knows where it is from when we visited her a few times before leaving the UK. This was over a year ago, not sure if he would still remember?
He had an Iraqi passport. I took it with me and I took several taxis to a few different towns, making my journey somewhat longer but wanted to be less easy to trace. I dumped his passport in another town. It will take a little while for him to get another. He had a 2 UK visas (both for 3 months for a visit) in it which had both expired. I had to send a letter of invitation, documentation relating to the property i lived in, to show he would have a place to stay and also payslips, bank statements (I was working as a nurse) to show he had financial support.
I do not believe he has somebody who could do that for him so he can get a visa. But i am sure he could find somebody from his town who has relative/friend in the UK. His brother and father do not have a passport.
I have sent an email to the home office with my husbands and his brothers/fathers details and an explanation of the situation. I am going to write a letter today and post it just to be sure.
I think I will take womens aid up on the offer of a place in the refuge next week. I feel quite safe right now knowing they don't even have passports.
Somebody from the police station is coming between 10:30-11:30 this morning.
Your lovely messages have really been a comfort when I need it most.
