Domestic abuse but nowhere to go?

[Chloe8909]

My boyfriend is extremely abusive, but I have nowhere to go if I leave
I have a dog too. It has got really bad recently,I have had black eyes and bruises all over but I have no idea what I can do

On Christmas day I took too long walking my dog,so he held me under a cold shower

I had my own apartment before we met but he convinced me to move in with him. I have been so stupid
I don't have much contact with friends anymore and no contact at all with my parents.
He stopped all contact with my family after he asked my dad for a loan for a business and my dad said no. He know my dad has plenty of money,so took this really badly.

I cannot contact my mum or dad for help as I haven't spoken to them for months and bf texted them pretending to be me telling them I want nothing to do with them and many awful things.

I'm stuck with nowhere to go. I can't leave my dog
He's away for a stag do until late Sunday
What can I do ? Just try and save a little money to leave eventually?

I know it's late but I cannot sleep

Op, I'm so relieved you're safe and with your family.

You'll need to stay strong and away from him. I hope you can heal from this with love and counselling as I think you'll need that too x

You can also log your details with the national centre for domestic violence (self refer, or the police officer can refer you). They can do emergency injunctions if you need one https://www.ncdv.org.uk/

I also found it reassuring to have the HollieGuard app on my phone as some extra reassurance whilst I was out and about https://hollieguard.com/

You're doing so well OP, I hope you're able to see that x

I'm so pleased you got out and your Dad collected you, I've just had a little cry from happiness!

Well done OP.
