hohoho I know it is hard but try not to worry.

First things first well done for leaving, well done for contacting WA and well done for protecting your dcs.
I am sorry you had to go through DA but you have done the right thing.

Were you with your violent xp when pnd occurred. if so that will be a mitigating factor.

Next, if you are looking after your dcs well now that will be of far more interest to ss than the past.

Also if your dcs do attract the attention of ss that is not in and of itself a bad thing. they can offer you support and will only act if there is an issue now. the fact that you have acted to remove your dcs from a dangerous situation will count in your favour.

Wishing you strength, courage, luck and a fair wind at your back to get you through this Thanks
You can do it.

Getting anxious and feeling isolated don't make you a bad mother. Everyone has problems of some kind or other. If Womens Aid were concerned it will have been about your wellbeing and ability to withstand the stress of getting away from a violent man, not passing judgement on your parental abilities or finding ammunition to use against you. If you need extra support because of your medical history don't be afraid to ask for it. People are on your side. They want you to feel strong.
