Hello, I am in a emotional abusive relationship. I have escaped for a few days and my son quite frankly doesn’t want me to go back. I have a permanent job and feel it is in my best interests to go back , with the view of getting out as soon as possible, into a privately rented room. I have been in this awful relationship for (detail removed by moderator), in denial most of the time if I am honest and my self confidence and esteem has gone down. My partner is unemployed and an alcoholic…I certainly do pick them lol I dread the weekends and just want to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Can you ring the helpline number on here or contact your local women’s aid. Please don’t go back.abuse always gets worse. Alcohol is not an excuse to abuse someone. Your son recognises what’s going on, perhaps you can’t see because of the abuse. Talk to women’s aid x

Hi, if you have managed to leave, if only for a few days, and you recognise fully that this relationship is going no where and is abusive, please don’t go back, just to have a roof over your head, it is not worth it, you may regret it, and years later wish you had made a different choice, I am sure women’s aid can help you. Best wishes x

Please listen to your son!!!! He wishes nothing more than his mum to be safe, pls do it for him if not for yourself. Don’t go back. Do anything you like in the entire world but do not go back! You will be punished severely by your abuser for even daring to leave him in the first place.
What is the problem? Why do you feel you have to go back? Whatever it is you’ll have more chances of getting it solved out of his reach.
Call the helpline and friends and family and pls put your son’s concerns at ease and tell him you will look for a safe way forward. You can do this.

Hi everyone…
Update : I have done it…left him and beginning to move forward very slowly. I have managed to find a room in a house and just taking one day at a time. Have to be fully assessed at the council, feeling very emotional and randomly cry.
Thank you all for your continued support, it really helps. -

Very well done. You did the right thing. Try to get your local women’s aid to help you going forward. If it’s a council home you share with him then he can as the perpetrator is the one who is removed. If it’s a joint tenancy and you want him out. Know your rights and that’s where women’s aid can help. It’s going to be a rollercoaster ride to recovery but zero contact will help you tremendously to heal quicker. You do deserve a safe and happy life.
