      So I have been keeping a log on my phone in the hidden section of my photos of all the screenshots abusive texts from him, theats to kill me and hurt me (detail removed by moderator)  He said he deleted them all,

       

      I have no idea if I can even retreve them, I could cry.  Any proof and evidence all gone just like that

      Don’t panic. Remember you don’t need every single photo or text to prove this is happening.

      I don’t know how the two devices could be linked in that way other than on the cloud? Has he deleted them from the device or from this online storage? If you can check your cloud they may still be there having been automatically uploaded.

      Have you still got the text messages? You could retake the screenshots again.

      Set up an email account with a different provider and email any images to yourself and then delete everything at your end. You can also do this to record a journal of any incidents in writing. A written record can also help you keep track of what is going on or if you start to have any doubts.

      I’ve taken photos of bruises before but then deleted them myself as I feel guilty. The only other thing I have is a few voice recordings.

      Maybe he just looked on your phone? The other day my OH made a comment that he’d seen a notification message on my screen from someone I know saying something about him (after I’d told them we weren’t getting along), but I am almost 100% certain I turned off these notifications when I first told this person we weren’t getting on as I was worried they would say something and it show on the lock screen. So I think he used my code (which he knew as was never worried about him looking). I’ve changed the code now.

      Again don’t worry. All is not lost xx

      Oh no, sorry about the previous post – I copied and pasted some information and it has put it all into code. Lisa, Is it possible to delete my previous post please?

      Oh no what an awful thing to do! Sad and alone has given you some excellent advice and there’s not much I can add to that, but just wanted to let you know that I understand how upset you feel. Keeping a written journal to record your thoughts and feelings is a good idea as long as he can’t get hold of it. If you would prefer to type things in a word document, it is possible to protect it with a password

      This time I will type it out.

      Go to file ; info ;protect document ; protect with password

      Type a password, press OK, type it again and press OK to confirm it. Save the file to make sure the password takens effect.

      Hope this helps, Love Copperflame.

      After that, anyone needing to access your document will need to enter the password, including you. It might be possible to screenshot any further abusive texts or photos of any injuries and copy and paste them into the word document, so that you have a record which is password protected.

      Sorry if I’m already repeating advice but if it’s on an iPhone if you go to Albums, then scroll all the way down, past hidden, there’s a Recently deleted folder. It holds photos you’ve deleted for 30days. Worth a check x
