Can I leave 'D'H to go to my parents?

Hi all,

I need to leave my abusive husband and go to my parents with our DD?

He's more mentally abusive and emotional than physical - although he was last year. He's a very heavy drinker and he is insanely jealous and controlling.

It's a very long story to tell all on here but I need to go.

Can I go to my parents - would that be allowed considering Covid etc?!

Go, get them to pick you up tomorrow if you feel safe enough to stay. If you feel unsafe call the police and they will help you leave safely

Good luck today op. I hope you and your dd are free very soon.

TwilightPeace · 13/04/2020 07:27

Good luck OP, rooting for you!

footprintsintheslow · 13/04/2020 07:28

Has he gone back to bed?

Can you slip out of a back entrance?

Don't worry about taking lots of things.

Ring 999 if he becomes abusive in any way even shouting or grabbing at you.

Bunnyflop · 13/04/2020 07:30

Don’t worry about taking much OP just get out as quick as you can. That’s what matters.

CryptoFascist · 13/04/2020 07:35

Please let us know when you're out, op. Best of luck for today

Bluetrews25 · 13/04/2020 07:37

Good luck, OP.
Hoping you are having a catch-up sleep at your parents' home now.

mommybear1 · 13/04/2020 07:39

Good luck OP

BlueJava · 13/04/2020 07:41

Good luck OP, of course you can go to safety. Please stay safe and don't go back to him - he sounds awful for you and your DC.

Harrykanesrightsock · 13/04/2020 07:42

Hope everything goes well for you today Op.

KatherineJaneway · 13/04/2020 07:42

Please get out. Take the car and go. Someone can drop it back and post the keys through the door Flowers

Morning

Just feeding DD then getting some more bits together. I need to call my parents have text them to say call me when awake.

I just feel so guilty disrupting DD little life. She loves it at my parents so hopefully will adjust.

I've told her we are going for a sleepover.

Don't feel guilty OP, you are doing the best thing for you both. Xx

SpudsAreLife84 · 13/04/2020 07:56

OP, she can eat toast in the car, just go!!! If you have to sit in the car outside their house until they wake up so be it, just get out of there!!! Don't risk him waking up and causing a scene, please just go now Flowers

BrainWormsWontWin · 13/04/2020 07:56

Good luck, you're so brave. Don't forget that. You are doing a wonderful thing for your child. Been there, in much less complicated times and it was awful but so worth it!

Aussiebean · 13/04/2020 08:06

Adding my good luck and well wishes. Flowers

footprintsintheslow · 13/04/2020 08:11

Just go OP.

You can wake your parents up when you arrive.

What happens if he wakes up in the meantime? Do you have a plan?

FlowerArranger · 13/04/2020 08:11

I just feel so guilty disrupting DD little life

Stop feeling guilty. You are to be commended for being strong and removing her from an abusive situation and ensuring that she can grow up in a calm and living environment.

And I agree with others: go now, before he wakes up.

FlowerArranger · 13/04/2020 08:13

LOVING environment!!

KatherineJaneway · 13/04/2020 08:14
