Just that really. My 6 year old told me I must call the police. This was a couple of hours ago. He stayed up as long as he could, but is now sleeping.

I don't know what I am going to say to the police if / when they come.

I'm glad you are getting the support you need, OP.

I'm very impressed with your pro active steps to protect your family, so VERY well done, you just had that "click" when you saw that enough was enough.
No going back, just onwards to freedom & happiness
