Can anybody help?

The main reason I am considering leaving my husband is that he will not take no for an answer and he forces me to have sex against my will. Obviously this is frightening and upsetting. He is also abusive to the children, he shouts, pushes and pulls them, calls me names in front of them.

I am worried he may get custody of them, even part time, and I can't leave them with him, I really can't.

I also feel I am being dramatic amd should try to sort it. what does everybody think?

Yeah this is sad

OP I think you need to contact the police and report this

Skarossinkplunger · 10/07/2017 09:04

You keep saying you won't involve social services or police, but if your children say anything about what's happening you'll have no choice and it will look a fuck sight worse if you knew he was abusing them and didn't do anything about it.

Which country are you in?

When children are involved, being unwilling to contact the police or SS is cowardly and punishes your poor children. You have been told what to do by many people here, but if you continue not to do it, you're complicit in what is happening to them.

I do hope you come back OP, we all just want to help you, but you do need to help yourself too. please, please phone the Police, ring a Solicitor, get somewhere safe, just get away from him, please just don't keep yourself and your DC in this environment!
