Planning on going to the police tomorrow....

[Darcey2105]

I've been in an abusive relationship for 10 years. I've left 3 times, filed for divorce and everything, but still not managed to break free.

He just grabbed me by the throat and threw me across the kitchen. I'm planning to go into our local police station tomorrow and tell them, just to make the point more than anything.

And really to show to myself that I'm dealing with it, and not ignoring it.

What can I expect when I go into the police station tomorrow, and what should I say?

Well done darci it was really brave of you.

It's is easier said than done but your making a start.

Is he still in the house? Do you feel safe ? I can't understand the police not being proactive and getting him out, at least it's been logged.

well done

even if the police don't take it further, your report will be on record, This is important

write everything down that you want to ask the solicitor so it doesn't go out of your head at the time

you are doing fine x

Well done. You did the right thing.

You Definately done the right thing. How are you today?

I'm feeling a lot more positive now. I had a really good meeting with a solicitor, where I realised all my rights and all the things I can do. I don't feel so helpless now. And I'm going to meet him next week to get divorce proceedings started, and work at getting him out the house straight away.

I also got a call from victim support which I'm so grateful for, as I think I'm going to get someone to meet with in person, which will really help me as I've felt so alone.

My job is going from bad to worse, but I feel I have to throw my energies into getting rid of my husband while the momentum is there, and try and deal with my job when I'm on steadier ground.

I'm wondering about telling them what I'm going through, and they'll have at least some understanding of why things are so all over the place.
