Reporting abuse to police

I have started previous threads. I have been in a toxic dynamic now for years and I’m basically in a mess. I asked him to leave the home we rented a few years back and then because I felt lonely and sad and pathetic went back a few months later when we lived separately. I am an apparently educated woman and I have put up with so much. I don’t know if I’m coming or going anymore. The last few days have been absolutely horrendous. Vile vile messages as I wanted to cut contact for good. Threats. Being called a cunt, a bitch, useless, fat. I have an appt with the police tomorrow. I am scared. I am so scared of any potential escalation. I am scared social services will become involved (I have a lovely son who thankfully isn’t his and hasn’t been exposed to the majority of this: he is my ex husbands child and has a great relationship with him) I feel weak. I feel pathetic. I am in my 40s and I am so lost. My mental health for the last few years has been very shaky and I am so scared it will now break. Please please can someone give me any guidance or advice here without judgement. I know I’m stupid believe me.

Just to reassure you the social services and police are there to help you. The social services won’t get involved if they know your child is safe.
You’re not stupid, you’ve just woken up. Congratulations your life starts as soon as you talk to the police. I’ve been there believe me.
Be strong and brave for yourself and your son, good luck for tomorrow x
