My sister’s pregnant. She’s 15. Dad is 18. They had only known each other a few weeks before she got pregnant.
Over the last few months he and his family have shown their true colours. He punches holes in walls and headbuts them in anger, and it frightened her. She started to back off from him, and since then he has been emotional and verbally abusive (and I only just discovered yesterday he pushed her in a gig out of frustration, so I’m not sure if she is still hiding more) His family demanded to be at every midwife appointment, so when she chose to take a friend to one, they lost their heads. She’s had awful messages from the family (all aged 35+)
After confiding in me and her health visitor, she called the police. They took a statement from her and her mum about all incidents and threats, and they were keen to arrest him, bail him and court is next week. My sister got the idea from the police that he had form but obviously they refused to say exactly what. They didn’t say much to her with regards to the age gap but did mention to her mum the possibility of him going on a “list” I imagine the SO register?
She is likely to be housed alone when baby is born as her mum has no space for her. I’m so concerned about her and the battle she will have when baby is born. She would love to keep him away for good but I know myself that’s not realistic. I’m worried for her safety being alone with baby.
