Emotional abuse

If you feel things are getting worse to a point your thinking of leaving id leave, your instincts are good enough to rely on and it's your body's way of telling you to leave ❤️

Also if DV is proven that will definitely go against him, but you may be offered contact centres etc for custody if it becomes an civil issue

I was in a similar situation but with an ex and managed to leave, so this was before being pregnant but I would definitely recommend filing a report with police and having a look at women’s aid for advice too! The police were helpful with me but I think they would’ve been more helpful if I reported it before leaving my ex!

I left he’s 3 months too

Will his name go on BC? If he’s abusive ?

thank you Aimee ❤️ unfortunately from what I’ve read, it seems it’s hard to prove emotional DV

thank you Leesha, I will look into filing a police report. Feels like a very scary step but I’m glad they were helpful for you!

his name is already on the BC unfortunately

thank you Angelina, yes I definitely will do whatever it takes to keep baby safe

It’s never too late to cut contact right ?? I’ve stopped 3 months in after giving birth

I’m keeping myself and baby safe

I went through this. I’ve stopped contact

I’ve recognized I went through narcissistic abuse

thank you so much! You have been a huge help ❤️

There’s so much support out there for DV, emotional abuse is taken just as serious as physical abuse, domestic abuse isn’t always physical. Download the app Hollyguard for safety. You have Live fear free, woman’s aid, National DA helpline, there’s a link on gov.uk that will sign post also. See if you can get advice from an IDVA and please contact council, they can help rehome you. Xx

Please please be smart an careful I think u should save up an move in silent love I seen so many females get restraining orders on them just for the abuser to find a way to harm/kill them😒 I live in Philly it happens a lot out here

Sooooo sorry your going thru this I don’t wish this one anyone

that’s so sad to hear 😔 I won’t risk leaving without measures in place. Hopefully it’ll all be okay in the end

Contact your local domestic abuse support service or look for drops ins local to you. They’ll be able to advise with legal advise, support from police/counsellors/housing/benefits etc, with no pressure just whatever support you are after at that time

Also just want to say how amazing you are for taking steps to be happy and safe, It’s not easy but you and your baby will have such a better life free from him. Wish you all the best xx

thank you so much Isobel ❤️
