Urgent help needed for DV and housing dilemma

[Sally853]

I need some urgent advice. I don’t know whether to flee my home or not. I have a removal firm ready to come early in the
morning and half the house packed up between me my kids till the early hours but still
in a mess still and we need to sleep now as we’re exhausted. We have a big house and lots of stuff. I have three kids and only youngest is his, older two from first marriage. He will want youngest to stay in area. I am not from round here originally and would move but for kids schools and lives here. I would go to near family.
My husband got drunk and headbutted and assaulted me 2 weeks ago. He was arrested and bailed. I stupidly retracted my statement and tried to get it all dropped as I hoped we could fix things. He manipulated my kids saying he would come back and as soon as it was dropped today he filed for divorce and his whole family turned up en mass to get all his things. My
older two were in the property alone and rang me very distressed when four
fo tbem turned up (legally). They stood in the doorway mocking and laughing at me.
the kids are all at local school. Do I up and leave as he and his family can return at any point or do I wait? If I go now maybe I can establish a life elsewhere? I have tried to get help for a non mil order but nowhere open until Tuesday and I don’t know whether I feel I can stay safely or not.
I literally have hours to work out what to do and am desperate. I could go to my family temporarily but am so worried about uprooting the kids if he isn’t coming back but of course he and family can at any time and take what they want and I feel I need to protect us and what things we have too.

Also just to add he also twisted my nose a few weeks ago. Both incidents were unprovoked and he has denied both and there was nothing at all I did before or touching him either time £3 has applied for divorce before snd cancelled it and used it as. Threat for the past few years taking his ring off whenever we argue. I feel absolutely broken.

Get some support in to help you asap.
womens aid or police?
I would either have someone cone and stay
Or pack a bag for all of you and leave while it is messy with family arriving
Ignore the laughing and stupidity
In the end your mental well being and safety of your family is utmost important.
Stuff and a house isnt..so dont ground yourself down trying to keep it together...kids will adapt and need once stable parent who is you.
Awful situation..his behaviour is all on a file so any issues
Call the police if they push it to far or is it womens aid as well is what Uk have to assist you if not a ear.
All the best.

This is terrible. Call Women's Aid as they can advise on best next steps and what you can expect from the authorities (the police/local authority/refuge). Once you know your options you can work out what to do next. Personally I would not wait around as he is clearly unpredictable and dangerous.

Big hugs.
