Don't know when I'll be ready or if I'll ever be ready but I know whats happening is not actually ok. My head hurts, there's two big bumps, my jaw is aching so are my teeth, elbow sore from carpet burn, knee is hurting from the fall. Most of all my heart is aching from all the stress im causing my LO. In scared of losing my LO he is my life, my one true love. I sometimes wish that someone passing would hear and help. I just want a hug

Has your partner hurt you ? Can you phone the police for help ?

Here is a very big hug.
Please keep you and your LO safe. You need to call the police. If you can't do that please please contact Women's Aid when it is safe for you to do so. Thanks

Do you have family you can turn to? Sending hugs

soulmakossa · 05/11/2019 00:13

The biggest hug for you.
I’m so sorry.
Please get help. Your LO will not be taken from you. If this is how it sounds and your partner has hurt you then you need to be strong and protect your LO and yourself.
Don’t worry about stuff or money, there will be help. The safety of you both is the priority. Get out as soon as it’s safe to.

From us, a gentle hug and Flowers and another little push to seek real life help.
Perhaps you could have a look at the Freedom Programme and . We can see that this is an ongoing situation for you, and we would wish you strength and peace to make the next moves.

Abuse, or are you ill and falling?

Either way, you've taken the first step by reaching out here. Next step is to reach out in real life to someone. No one is going to take your LO away if you reach out for help.

Take care.

He keeps threatening to take LO away from me when I go to work. He threatens to take everything away from me, money, house. I have said that I'll stop working if it's such an issue and take care of LO but he's thrown it in my face by saying he won't give me any money if I stop working. The other day I rushed back from work to go pick up an order, got LO dressed and took him with me so I didn't have to bother OH. I was gone max 1hour , he called swearing at me and had a rant about how I was expected to be home by a certain time. I hate that uncertain feeling all the time. I hate him being at home with me, I can't wait for him to leave for work or go gym so I can just breath. He loves the idea of having a family but does nothing to create that loving family atmosphere In fact does the opposite. In at work and im sick to the pit of my stomach knowing that he may take LO. In thinking whether I should drive by on my break.

Have you spoken to anyone in real life about this? It's not right, and you clearly know it isn't.

It sounds as though you could do with some real life help. Please, talk to someone, Women's Aid, CAB, your doctor even. Get some advice from people who can help you practically. Do you have family you could talk to?

This isn't a relationship, you are being abused and you aren't safe and need to get away. But I think you know that.

Authorities will not take your LO away from you. Keeping mother and child together is one of their priorities, whatever he might try to convince you, and whatever he might say to them.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. You don't deserve this and it isn't your fault. You could be the best person on earth and he would continue to do this. The most important thing here, is your safety. He won't take your children away if you leave. He can't. He's lying to control you. Please believe me.

I don't know where you are but your local council will have domestic violence organisations. Do a search under your local council for example, 'Exeter domestic abuse'. Keep calling until you speak to someone. The police will have links to local organisations call 101.

If you are at home, have a cup of hot, sweet tea. It helps with shock. No one is going to take your child away but your partner is very dangerous and you need to get away from him.
