Hi there,
Quick question for you guys. If you were in a relationship that had completly broken down but you were afraid to leave because financially you had nothing plus family would find you, what would you do and where would you go in the UK to get as far away as possible? I have 2 children aged 7 and 4 and would take them with me. Sorry just scared and want to live my life for me and my children now. Thank you.
Hi
If you are wanting to leave an abusive relationship, please do contact Women's Aid.
They can give you advise and possibly help you too.
One of the parents specialists will be able to give you some great advice.
Do take care.
Hi mummymem, sparklinglime is absolutely right, you need to contact Womens Aid, you could visit their website and find a local service or you can call them on 0808 2000 247 to get further information about refuges where you and your children can stay.
You can get lots of support getting rehoused and also understand the situation that you are in.
I won't ask lots of questions now, as your post sounds as though you are ready to take action right away - call that number and let us know how you get on.
Hi, thank you for your comments. My relationship isn't abusive, it used to be but I got the courage to ask my husband to leave a year ago. However family got involved and not a day went by when they emotionally blackmailed me to get back with my husband. I did so in February but soon enough realised I couldn't continue in this marriage because it had come to an end. My issue is family and the emotional abuse they give you because of honour which leads you to breakdown and lead an unhappy life. I have no savings and haven't worked because I have been a full- time mum. Don't know what to do. I want to leave and take my children but scared they will find me.
Please call the above number and ask for help, they can support you with the emotional abuse you are receiving from the extended family.
If you were to get support from Womens Aid they could help you move miles away, but there is always a chance someone will find you. So you need to be taking steps to secure your own home and then work on keeping yourself protected from the family.
Do you have anyone on your side of the family that can support you through this?
No, if you trust someone you put them in the firing line with family.
It sounds as though you are in a very serious situation mummymem, have a look at this link
