      Hi, I’m sorry you’re having to go through this, the system is truly unfair. Have you tried Victim Support? Not sure where you are but my victims support have a victims fund and they helped me with money. Citizens advice, your local MP, there’s a wonderful website called survivingeconomicabuse.com and I know they have helped others. The national domestic abuse helpline may have some information. Your GP or local children’s Charity. The NSPCC have a helpline. NHS mental health website or helpline for mental health. Are you in touch with your local women’s aid? The children’s school may be able to offer support. Does your child like swimming. You could try that and smother her hair in conditioner when she comes out? Having things to hug really helped me. So perhaps toys to hug or something to distract her while you try to sort her hair. I’m sorry if I’m way off the mark with some of the suggestions but maybe something in there will be useful. Google local children’s Charities and maybe somewhere there will be funding for private counselling or free volunteers who counsel kids. Is there no way you could get him removed from the family home and return with safety measures?
