Don't know what to do

ExH sent me this message:

You have to atone for the things you have done, and you will.

In the past he has strangled me and threatened to kill me. He broke into my house a couple of months ago.

Please tell me what I should do. I feel paralysed by fear.

Show the police. Get it logged. And tell your family.

Ring 101.

What if they don't believe me? They didn't believe me when he hit me.

Can you show them the message? Sorry you are going through this Flowers

itsallgonetoshit · 19/08/2016 11:02

Yes. I just don't know if it's threatening enough for them to take it seriously.

Show the police. Tell them how scared you are. You won't know until you speak to them what they may be able to do.

If they do nothing you at least have a record of anything does happen for them to see it is premeditated and then take further action.

The evidence of the text should mean that it's impossible for them NOT to believe you. If they think it isn't serious enough for them to be able to do anything, that's a different thing, but it's not the same as them not believing you that he sent a text that has made you afraid. Please don't let that fear stop you.
