      I am do to start counselling and feel so worried. I have to be careful not to talk about somethings and i haven’t talked about details or emotions surounding it all other to make my statements its making me feel so ill.

      On top of this i have seen comments he’s recently made about using petrol on me! This isn’t the first time hr has talked about arson ive. Already had the firebrigade put a different post box on. But he’s dobe it in a way that again the police cant do anything and i have to live in fear so low today.

      Dear In Need of Some Peace,

      I dont know the details of your background or abuse so please forgive me if i’ve got anything wrong.
      It really is best if you are fully open and honest with the support services. I an understand that this may put fear or dread into you, maybe it will get back to him and the consequences for you would be severe as you had informed perhaps? Maybe this needs to be managed in a way that is sensitive to your fears and concerns, but at the same time slowly working yourself towards freedom. I work in the public sector and we have to work according to confidentiality guidelines. There are ways around all of this. Maybe you just need to sit down and think up some sort of action plan or strategy to manage this problem whilst at the same time doing right by you. The Counselling service is there to help you with internal problems, if you go into your session watching your Ps & Qs and being on your guard it may not help you at all. If you say to your councillor “I want this to be off the record and I want to tell you something that you must never tell anybody else” they are bound by that. Perhaps the next best thing is to really air your problems on here, you are safe here to say absolutly anything without fear or worry. We will all be able to listen and help you. XXXXX

      Hi inneedofsomepeace,

      I am sorry you are having such a stressful time. Please do try and phone the helpline. Perhaps you could talk to them about going in to a refuge and being rehoused somewhere safe where he will not know where you live? Would that be worth thinking about? If staying in your home means you are still not feeling safe and living in fear then a refuge really might be worth considering.

      We are all here for you.

      Best wishes,

      Lisa
