Hello all,
I need some guidance please. Early June, I was the victim of a domestic incident. The police were called and social services got involved. I have since been moved into a refuge and it is my understanding that my ex partner is about to start a course.
What I need advice on, is that I would like to move back to the county I was removed from but I don’t know how to prove to social services that it’s not to be closer to my ex. To be very clear, I have no intention on getting back together with him and I’m taking my child’s safety very seriously. My reasons for wanting to move back are that this is the area most familiar to me and before moving I had plans in place to put my baby girl in nursery and had a job lined up there. This is also an area that is a midway point between all my different family members, and where my friends are. I’ve tried to get to know this new area and have made an effort to make connections here but it’s been over 2 months now and I’m just unhappy within myself. I was wondering if anyone else has been through this and what safety measures they put in place to protect themselves from further abuse? I should also mention I’m currently doing a course in recognising and understanding DA to show that I’m expanding my knowledge and recognise my ex isn’t healthy for me.
Thank you.
