i did ring Social Services today

[Bridget Jones Is Free]

My husband is away for x time so I rang them and explained about the latest binge drinking and his texts to one of our children about committing suicide. I also said I was hit by one of our children too. I didn’t want to say which one.
I was asked how often the drinking takes place.
Tomorrow they will visit my home.
Funny how he can allow himself to drink, and get in a state, yet goes back to work the following week as if nothing had happened.
Does he care?
I told them not to put my safety at risk by talking to him.
I just can’t wait to be free one day. I am still scared of the future but I am more scared of staying with him.
