ParticipantHi Mellow
I am sorry that you have recently suffered the loss of a parent, I hope you are doing ok.
He’s highly abusive to threaten you using the children to blackmail you this way. These are children, real life human children who need their mother. Its unacceptable and yes, stinks of abuse and lack of respect for both you, and the children, using them as pawns this way instead of real little humans with actual feelings.
Its good you have somewhere to go. Personally I would want to collect from the airport , or wherever their point of arrival, and load the children in, ask him to buy some drinks for all you, and drive off, leaving him there to sort himself out, telling him to never contact you again, and if he does you’ll contact the police, consider himself warned. Then call the police tell them whats been happening and take your children to your own house and change the locks, alternatively take them to your parent’s house and do all your negotiating from there, whichever feels safest.
How do you see it panning out? Ideally, how would you like this to go?
Look after yourself and prioritise your needs and those of your children, over his.
warmest wishes

ParticipantHi Mellow
he can tell whomever he likes. You are protecting yourself and your children. I had assumed that he would instantly think you would be at your late parent’s house.
You don’t have to tell him anything, but it does sound like you need a lot of support in your life from local services, whether that be your GP, health visitor, local abuse services, police? Who would you trust to reach out to so that you can feel more supported in what you are doing. You have been very brave to make this break away from him, and I send you every strength to keep going with it. If he wants contact with his children you’ll need to use a third party, someone like a friend or family member that you trust and is not abusive who will take on this serious responsibility for you and your children. Its up to you how you want to go with this?
warmest wishes

ParticipantHi Mellow
I would tell the police what has happened, before he does, but, you can’t kidnap your own children!
All you can do is stop him seeing them on the grounds of their safety (and yours!). He would have to take you to court to arrange contact if you refuse it, then you can state on what grounds you have removed the children from his care.
I wouldn’t answer the phone to his family or to him, it won’t progress anything, and you will end up suffering even more.
You need to be prepared that these men, abusive men, and yes, those that don’t hit too, will spread awful lies and try to destroy your character. They don’t know who you really are, they just paint you a certain way. However, its clear who he is because of his actions.
Would you consider going to a refuge with your children? I am not saying you should, its just one of a number of options open to you (whether the abuse is physical as well, or not).
Don’t be tricked into believing that because he hasn’t hit you, yet, that this wouldn’t happen. Many abusers are capable of destroying their partners heart, soul and mind, and their children’s, through words, words to confuse, to deny, to minimise, to alter reality, to blame and to assasinate.
Its when his control is threatened that he will strike, and his control is being tested right now, so he’s accusing you of ‘kidnapping’ your own children, and refusing to hear any words you say. This in itself very damaging to you, as not being heard, listened to can cause you to shut down completely, and you must keep saying wht you are saying, what you know to be true.
Do keep posting and getting this out of your system to get stronger and stronger, to be able to make your choices. If you ever go looking for validation from him, you won’t get it. He will throw you ‘hooks’ to make you respond, and when you do, he will ignore you. This one is up to you. Either you want to be with him or you don’t, but here we completely understand your reasons for both, but by talking and listening you will come to your own choices through feeling stronger. With an abuser you lose choice.
warmest wishes
