i won’t go into massive details but I am experiencing domestic violence and have just had an argument and he’s stormed out but we share a 2 year old together so he’s going to want to sort out when he can see her. He is verbally abusive in front of my children (I have two older kids too) calling me names and insulting them also and has physically hurt me on quite a few occasions. I feel so alone with this because I haven’t told my family what he’s really like nor have I approached any professionals before he is always threatening to take my child from me claiming I am an unfit mum and I’ve been so drained by everything and depressed I start to believe all he says when he says such nasty things about me. I know I need to leave him I just don’t know whether to approach women’s refuge about this and what will they do when I tell them everything about him?
