So im finally beginning to admit the relationship im in is abusive we have two children. Im a sahm. He earns alot. Hes never physically abusive but hes aggressive with both me and the kids, hes controlling, and uses the money situation to control me and the kids. He has ongoing mental health problems, depression and self medicating with alcohol abuse.
I need to get me and the kids away from him
But how!? Im scared. We leave and he'll turn into a psychopath. Hes threatened me before when weve argued. Told me he'd burn our house down if we left. That i will never get away with taking out children away from him! :-( hes not bothered about the police or following the law. Hes got enough money and dodgy friends to make me feel very uncomfortable.. Wouldnt care but hes a rubbish dad he cant cope with them at all. Dont know what to do but know enough enough and this cant go on :-(

Hi Cautlyn8795,

We're going to move this thread over to our Relationships topic where hopefully you'll get some good advice and support.

In the meantime, there are plenty of organisations that may be able to help listed in our relationships webguide. We also have a domestic violence webguide which may be worth looking into.
