I feel so unbelievably sad today. My child asked to use my phone to ring childlike because the arguments are upsetting. In that moment I genuinely felt like the worst parent in the whole world. It’s made me feel so depressed. The thing is I avoid arguing at all costs infront of the children so it’s more like disagreements if anything but even that is enough to be that upsetting for my child. I have been trying to find a way to leave for some time and I’m getting nowhere fast. I just feel like I’ve completely failed my children

You’re not failing them, you’re getting out. It takes time and planning, especially when you have children.
Are Women’s aid supporting you? Your GP?
I’m not much help with the advice as I only had myself to worry about but I’m sure the other amazing women on here will be able to give you some practical advice.
Sending you a big hug xxxx

Thank you. I have a local DV charity worker and shes lovely but there are so many obstacles for me 🙁 I can’t stay in the home we currently share as cant afford to. I don’t have anyone else we could stay with and the council are being impossible. I’m felt like I’d turned a corner by talking to a dv charity but I still here and feel as though I have no choices. It’s so incredibly difficult

Have you looked into a refuge with your child. There would be support there and it would be temporary until you find something else?

Sending you hugs. I was where you are (detail removed by moderator) and am only free because he threw a tantrum and left (he didn’t mean to of course) and I didn’t let him back. Finances are hard but without having to deal with him I am working through my problems and solving each one. If you can get yourself to a refuge and get your head clear you will find a way. I still feel terrible guilt for what my kids went through but we are all slowly healing and you and your little one will too xx
