Hi. Long story short I've been in an abusive relationship for a long time but only recently realised the state of it. Back story - We had an unexpected expense last week and I'm meant to be visiting family next week. Kids had saved up their money to buy a tv and so today I paid their money in to the bank and got them the tv. Husband then sent me the following messages. I've been out all day as can't face coming home. Please tell me I'm not over reacting - I would never speak to anyone like he has. My heart breaks for my kids as we walk on eggshells all the time. Please someone who has gone through a bad relationship tell me that it will get better :-(

Get in touch with work and make sure your wages go into your personal account. Transfer half the bills ( or less percentage wise if you earn less) into the joint account to cover your part of the bills. Then don't touch it. Meanwhile contact women's aid.

Thank you all for your support xx He just came downstairs and said "you need my verbal and written permission before you do anything" and completely ignored the kids. I will call my work tomorrow and see if they can change the account but I think I have to let them know by the 10th of a month. I've screenshotted the messages and I've been writing notes on my phone for all the things he has done/said. I've got a voice recording too for when he was shouting at me recently. I know I need to tell my mum the full version I'm just so ashamed that this is my life.

Oh sweetheart, please dont feel ashamed. The shame is his, dont carry it for him.

Lots of good advice on this thread, but keep yourself and your kids safe and keep your focus on making a better future for you all 😊
