I am in a similar position. Just keep talking to your local domestic abuse service, they will help you all the way. I am petrified of losing my house and having no money, but keep talking and you will slowly become enlightened and see what you are having to go through. This is abuse and unacceptable behaviour – its only going to get worse as they get older trust me.
Please reach out and get some help or somebody to talk to. My local domestic abuse service have been amazing.
We can do this. X

This could be me apart from he has physically grabbed and pinned my child down. But all my fault she behaves like that (she has ADHD). You won’t loose your kids. You’ve done something super brave – I am taking my time and checking out options as I just know I can do this forever. I have weeks of not speaking to me, being told its his house and he won’t give me half, Im not entitled to an opinion (all because I got some debts built up which I am paying for) – just says no to everything I say with no explanation and gets cross with me if things aren’t done exactly the way he wants. My kids are just constantly scared of getting things wrong in case he gets cross. I am stuck financially as can’t rent/ get credit. And he knows it. Speak to Womens Aid – get clarity on what abuse actually is so you have some clear definitions and boundaries. Its manipulative and half of is meant to make you doubt yourself. Stay strong. I am trying with you!

I feel like this too. I have to pretend I am not scared or upset as I know it will make him worse. Everything I do is constantly wrong and watched, commented on. I am permanently on edge all of the time. It’s hard to accept its emotional abuse. Stay strong.
