PS. The safe housing is important but you're risking your life the longer you wait for the right moment. It sounds like he is coercive and controlling your every movement.

In the morning what can you do?
Could you discreetly call police
Ask them to come take him
Meanwhile get out and we can help on here with next steps ?

Speaking from experience if you email and email and sit and wait this a) can take forever and b) is too risky and not much may come out of it

You have 6 innocent kids

Poor you !! I feel for you
I remember the fear
Building myself up to leave
Then he would find out and start being nice
Or would follow not let me out of my sight

Boots is def a great option
Tomorrow is the day !!!!

OP you can also try Victim Support Live Chat it's 24 hours and you can try them anytime.

With a lot of phones you can call the emergency services to let them know you are in danger without speaking to them. Can yours do that? It’s worth checking in settings under emergency.
Then if he attacks you and you can get to your phone maybe in your pocket or something you can press the on then off button five times quickly and they will trace the phone and come round.

Your doing so well and being so so brave.
Seek all the help you can from every agency and power going.
Let the school, police, social services, GP everyone know so that you can be protected as much as possible and there are as many different people working on solutions for you.
You can do it we are all behind you

ThickFast · 04/07/2020 10:03

I get the feeling you haven’t properly slept in weeks.

Whatabambam · 04/07/2020 11:02

Please make sure that you protect yourself. You either need to call the police immediately when you are out of the house or from inside if you can't leave it. If you are at risk, don't slow yourself down or alert him to your plans by trying to take stuff with you. You can come back for it with a police presence.

PatMustardsBigTool · 04/07/2020 11:35

Good luck, OP. Stay strong.

Oddgirlout · 04/07/2020 12:19
