      Hi guys thank you for replying. When I approached WA last time my older boys where teenagers and inwas told if I wanted helped I needed to leave them with their dad!. It’s funny really because they are adults now and when I called WA this week I was asked if I left would the boys be safe with their dad.

      That’s kinda of irrelevant now. I have two small babies both boys and they have said they will help me now.

      When I called they kept using the word violence. And asking about weapons etc it was like they where working to a crib sheet and had to ask the questions even though they are not relevant. However they where helpful and I will be getting a call back in the next few days, I just really hope there is someway they can help me escape x

      Hi TS.
      Sorry I just rambled a bit there. They refused to help previously because my children are male and not female!. Because of the total knock I took as a result it has taken me a long time to reach out again.
      However when I looked at their website I found the terminology used to not provide support for the type of abuse I am going through. It reads as though only women suffering from violence would be welcomed too call them.

      Hi thank you for replying.
      I actually went to the GP, council and local WA group about (detail removed by moderator) It was the 1 and only time he actually hit me and I was so convinced that finally I would be able to get out. Anyway the GP couldn’t car less, told me if I pursued it she would report me to social care and the kids would be affected even more! Housing told me I should feel lucky to be with a guy who provided us with somewhere to live and every one argues. I showed them the bruises and was told that surely he didn’t mean it! WA told me they wouldn’t help unless I left my kids. They are all all boys.
      This all left me broken to be honest, I’ve since had 2 more kids and he’s got worse. I’m totally trapped with no escape.
      As for my older son’s 2 of them stay at their girlfriends and the younger one has just turned (detail removed by moderator) this week. He is still in college and financially dependant on me.
      My hope is that there is some sort of charity that could just help with a deposit.
      I guess another problem is references, I don’t have any! And my credit rating will be shocking. My husband has a car in my name and keeps getting parking tickets, he never says anything and I keep receiving letters from the council saying I owe £100s!
      I’m managing to hide some money every month But it’s only like £55 and it will take years to raise enough!
