MY kids dad just went to jail for DV, and im honestly up to the point where I wanna try and get full costudy. I am so.scared about his family and what they might think of me or what if it all turns against me ? He even smokes weed. I don't even smoke weed at all so my drug testing will come out clean. I drink alot but I can stop that for my kids. I don't do any drugs and he's been hitting me for about a year now out of our 2 years being together. I am so sick of it, I want to finally just end this all for my kids and try to give them a better life on my own. It's one of the scariest things I have ever thought of. Hes always saying I'm taking the kids away from him, I'm bitter and all this if I do. But how long does this abuse go on, he is even abusive with our twins, not hitting them < yet I feel > but he's aggressive and calls them names and says bad things to them and my kids dad self harms, so my kids have picked up on it. I'm so stressed out. He just got out today and he hasn't messaged me because they told him if he does he could get arrested. I blocked him on everything. No I don't have a car, a place yet. I will be staying at the women's shelter eventually when a room opens up. I am staying with my untill it opens. Everything is a mess. I just don't know where to start and I'm scared out of my mind.

Went through the exact some thing 6 years ago, even lived in a woman’s shelter . If you wanna chat , feel free to message me.

Is there anyway you can speak to the shelter workers and they could potentially advise you? Are there any local charities that help with this situation? I’m sorry you’re going through this. I hope you’re all safe and well xxx
