Abusive ex has turned up to house and forced his way in tonight while high on drink/drugs and caused the biggest scene. Poor dd woke up screaming to him stamping on the tv. Police have taken him away. Feel totally and utterly broken by this cycle of torment

That sounds awful. How is your DD now? I'm glad the police took him away. It must have been scary for you.

I hope things have calmed down now. Brew

Next week, after you’ve had some sleep and you feel less shaken, ring victim support or Woman’s Aid and get their advice on home security. There used to be grants available to make dv victims’ houses more secure.

Taking some positive action will help and make your dc feel more secure.

She's asleep now. She is 6. Im also pregnant. Exhausted but I can't seem to sleep. I spoke with woman's aid a few weeks ago when I decided again it had to end that I couldn't take anymore. I will need to contact them again.

OP, how sad. We need to understand that we do not own people and cannot abuse other people whenever we want. I also had an abusive ex, even after the divorce, he came and broke my windows etc

Stay strong. Go for a short walk to clear your mind.

Sending you love and hugs Flowers

@Skills2597 thank you. Still feeling horrendous. Anxious tired sick. Need to sleep for work tomorrow. Wish I could take away his ability to make me feel this sad and scared.
