Well done for speaking to the police. Remember, the police are there to protect you; not to throw you under the bus. The police are often the gateway to getting much of the help and support you need to keep you and your family safe. When I first spoke to the police about my ex I asked them not to speak to him as I was terrified of what he might do next. In the end they reached a point where interviewing him was inevitable. Hopefully in your case you will have plenty of time to get your ducks in a row before they do by which time you should have a safety plan in place and your head will be in a different place. It’s a horrible and frightening time. You are making early steps towards protecting yourself. That’s fantastic news.
