Please please help

So what happens after I tell the police about the 18months of abuse ?
Who helps me ?
I have not got money for a solicitor
My friends told me to say nothing
He threatened suicide

I can't take hiding his dirty secrets any longer
I have had enough
Had to flee to another country so may need to rely on calling his local police station
Do I call 999? Ask for a female officer ?
I'm so scared but not protecting an abuser any longer

Any ideas or suggestions would massively appreciate

yes phone the police first they have people who know exactly what to do and also if you are in the uk phone womens aid

The best way to get answers to all of this is probably to call Women's Aid.

I did I am still in contact with them
I meet them once per fortnight
I now need police
As I have told others full extent and they are in shock

When I call police from another area what may happen? Will it be a specialist helping me? Will they update me?

You shouldn't need a solicitor, you're the victim. Speak to your local police and they'll be able to follow it up with other police forces as necessary. If you're not in immediate danger, call the non-emergency number 101.

Normally the police in the country you have suffered the abuse in will deal your complaint. You can telephone the police for that area and day you would like to speak to a specialist officer who deals with domestic abuse. I can't speak for the country you're in but in this country you can get help with legal costs for protection orders - have a look at the national domestic violence centre website (UK) it gives good advice. Housing associations/councils have a duty to accommodate victims at high risk of domestic abuse and police can assist there .There are also refuges across the country for victims of abuse / and children if necessary.
Most areas have their own domestic abuse support organisations who have specialist advisors who can support victims with getting their lives on track- most of them can be searched for on line.

I don't know what country you are in but many countries should have some support networks for people fleeing domestic abuse.

You could start by reporting it to your local police - they may take your account of what's happened and refer it to the police for the area the abuse took place in. They can explain what support is available.

Well done on removing yourself from this person - make sure any locate and find setting is disabled on your mobile phone so you can't be tracked down by this abuser.

All the very best for a happy future.

Thank you
