      Anyone know anything about (service removed by moderator)

      Council have referred me to them, do they assess me to work out what band I am in?

      Is it to get me in a refuge?

      Will he find out?

      What do I say to them? Already tried to get them to understand that emails are better as working from home makes calls difficult and they gave booked me in for a call.

      I am going to have to try and be out for it

      I looked at refuges before and working full time and my dog mean I’m not going in one. It won’t be a good place for me I will not leave my dog not after the ex.

      Maybe I should give up, being nice again now. It’s too hard and I’m tired

      Hi Statshine,

      Well done for reaching out and speaking to the council. Your safety comes first and neither the council nor any other service they refer you for should be contacting him or putting you at risk of him finding out. Refuge isn’t the only option for accommodation, it isn’t right for everyone. Having pets or wanting to stay local and keep working are common reasons why women choose not to go into a refuge. You deserve support and to have control over the decisions about what you want to happen.

      I’m also going to PM you with some information about the service you mentioned.

      Take care and keep posting,
      Lisa

      It’s soul destroying

       

      I’m an idiot this one has actually caused more damage and he’s never hit me, hit stuff but never me. Ex that I escaped did hit me.

       

      I would have been out had the bid for a property not been rescinded because the ex was on it.

      Getting services to understand that working from home means I am never on my own. I can’t take a call or pop in, I get away with webchat and email just

      Getting the service to understand that I can’t have a phone call or just pop in is exhausting.

      I am never alone, I dint have children to take to school and I work in the same room he is sat in.

      I am able to bid on properties while they decide my banding so I am. Any idea what band I am likely to get?
