Just found out about DH violent past....

After my post last week, things have escalated. I've just found out my husband was violent to previous girlfriend's and heavily took cocaine. He's been acting strange for over a year, cold towards me and the children, no help at all, calling me crazy and warped (I have PTSD). Last week we got into an argument because I attempted to check his phone to see if he was talking to other women....He went for me, trying to grab the phone, I wouldn't let go and so he grabbed my wrist and squeezed it really hard and dragged me across the floor..He said the I'm sorry speech. It's the first time this has happened. However, not being content with his sorry and due to his actions, I looked up 2 of his exes and asked why they broke up. Long story short, both women, who don't know each other, have said he had a big drug problem, and was violent....I knew none of this when we married. I am scared to a certain degree, but am not weak. How do I remain safe whilst removing him from my home? I have children and no family around so this makes it difficult, any help or advice? X

If this is true I'm glad he's left but how can you obtain divorce papers within 2 days?

@lufcaregoingup Like most forms, you can download them.

Correct😊 I did download them, it's called a D8 form which can be done online or by post , I found it on gov.uk.

@Loopylou11 you are really inspirational, putting your kids first and getting rid of this awful guy. Just wanted to say I really admire you and all the women escaping abusive men. I think you are incredibly brave as it must be so bloody terrifying. My friend IRL did this and honestly, her kids are fiercely proud of their mum. They understand that they came first. You're brilliant OP

Well you were right when you said you were a smart chick, you've done amazingly well to get rid so quickly. Of course you will have meltdowns, sad moments, weak moments even, we'll be here for all of them if you need us, don't forget that Flowers
