Women's aid? How to ask for help

[Satorye]

I saw their page has few services that might be of help to me but then again I'm not sure how to ask for help or how to address it.
Basically I'm isolated with my 1.5 year old son, in an abusive relationship far from relatives and friends. I have history of sexual abuse and rape(fairly recent history as well)and let's say it hasn't been easy since I got pregnant unplanned and now I can't see how to get out of this situation, having no job or skills... I suppose no one can fix my life for me but I was wondering if there's some way to navigate out of this, even in baby steps.

Really thinking of you and wishing you the strength to go to your appointment.
I have a baby the same age as you. It must be so hard to be minding him and dealing with all of the stress from your ex partner & immigration issues.
Please stay safe and try to have hope. Things will change and get better. There is support for you. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on with your meeting x

Hi all, thanks. I have bit of an update.
I've been to last WA meeting this week and I've got some advice.
I've got place to go for advice about debts, applying for housing isn't possible at the moment(I'll apply after working for couple of months from this Summer), I've got app for advice on my immigration status, I got reffered to some place for mums like me(like group or something, think it's called Shine?)and I've proceeded with helping my partner apply for visa.
He's living here because he has nowhere else to go atm, we agreed he'll move out by 15th June and I've set conditions for living here until he does. He hasn't breached any so far.

If he does his stuff will be on the staircase and in worst case we'll ask for emergency accomodation again and see from there.

I think this is pretty much all I can do at the moment, all together. My next worry(along with making his passport ASAP so we have another option)is finding some nursery that offers my LO adjusting through long period of time so that at age 3 he can be fully left alone. I've been at home for two years with him, I can manage another one, don't want to ruin it for him.

Well done! You have been really productive. It must be really hard but it sounds like you have made lots of decisions & lots of progress.
Please stay safe. If your instincts are fear about your ex at any point, just leave. I know you’ve put in place rules but please do look after yourself in that regard

Good to hear the progress Satorye, well done.
And yes to everything Quarks said.

Sounds as though you are getting stronger nd more able to make a move with support...good luck to you. Hope whatever you decide turns out well

That all sounds really positive, a huge step towards independence. Stay safe, remember you can leave at any time if you feel unsafe - that’s what women’s aid is there for. Take care, sounds like you’re doing the absolute best for your little one

Thanks. Today I got convinced I was expecting too much. We went out-I let him sleep in the morning(as in didn't ask any help around LO)and we let him get ready in peace, choose where he wants to go. Then we came to town and he was acting whole time as if he's too good to walk next to me, sorta got his nose up in the air and acted as he's model on red carpet or something. Acted totally above me-it was impossible to have easygoing conversation people have on the way. Basically whatever I said or did was wrong and I instantly regretted any move considering how much stress it resulted in. I'm aware I'm bit odd even bit disoriented perhaps but if other mums can have coffee with me and stand me for 2-3 hours surely he could too? Anyway this was the last time I went out with him. My LO and I have better time on our own.

Hi Satorye how are you doing? Hoping that you are safe and moving towards happiness.

Thanks @Badgerbodger. Well it's going all right. I'm just waiting for him to move out in two-three weeks(supposedly he already booked a house). Other than that it's same old...I hope you're doing ok too.

Sounds like it’s going well if he’s got somewhere to go, won’t be too much longer and then you’ll be free to live your own life. Take care and stay safe x
