My sister went off the rails about 4 years ago and as a result lost her daughter who lives with her dad.
She turned things around, kicked her drug addiction and is now living with another man and they have two young babies both under two.
The problem is he is abusive to her, he controls her, won't let her out, even to mine, with or without the babies. He reads her messages, goes every where with her and gets physical at times too.
The reason she stays with him is because she can't get a house. The council won't help because she abandoned one property and was evicted from another during her drug addiction. She can't get a private let as her credit rating is poor and she had no access to money to save.
She won't move into a women's refuge because she doesn't think she will ever get a house so she will be stuck.
He gets into her head and says of she goes out of the house she won't be allowed back in (house is in his name) and she will never see her babies again. He says he will tell social services she is crazy and they will take the babies off her.
She is depressed but won't go to the doctor because she thinks social services will hold it against her.
They had a row a few weeks ago and he dropped the babies on my doorstep, knocked and left. I hadn't even opened my front door. My sister wasn't here he just knew I would phone her and she would come back. I had no choice bit to phone her because I have to go to work. After that row I made the mistake of telling him I could see him for who he is and would get her away from him.
Now they are moving miles away. To another house that will be in his name, she will have no family or friends.
How can I make her see that this is the worst possible thing she can do. She needs to be honest with social services about her situation and one to the refuge where she will have help and support but she is so scared he will get the babies.
She has tried Shelter, Shap and CAB in relagion to housing bit none of them can help.
