Finally called the police after another assault

[Overwhelmedandlonelymommy]

I'll make this quite short, after almost 3 years of him having alcohol problems and drinking too much, isolating me from my friends, verbally abusing me by making insults at every opportunity and a small amount of violence I have tonight called the police on what will be the last time hes going to assault me. What happens now? I feel okay at the moment but am worried I will start to divert again and want him back.. I've left him before but went back, on more than 1 occasion. People ask why but the truth is I dont even know why myself? Currently sat waiting for the police to turn back up to give a proper statement. I have a baby in bed upstairs and I'm exhausted. Please tell me there's hope.

Get that non molestaton order and keep him away from you AND your dd.

He deserves no time with either of you

Block all his family and him from all ways of contacting you

When you move, will they know where you’ll be? If not, keep it that way and make sure you tell police to keep your location secret

You will rise, you will thrive as will your daughter, but ONLY if you keep that man out of your lives

It will take every ounce of energy you have, every last trace of faith but (like ne) you’ll get there

Use every support network, every organisation you can to stay free.

Well done on making this important first step to a happier and safer life
