Hi there, I'm S, i am a 22 year old mum of a disabled son, my ex is a heroin addict, we have split up, he uses every excuse to get at me mentally, no physical abuse has happened, ive had threats and things, worried more for my son than i am me.
Hi A, no, i don't see him regulary anymore, he has moved away now, he does't see our son unless he's influenced by drugs or alcohol (then i won't let him see him) our son is 3years old, we have family support, yes, all i have is call the police, he comes around kicking off a lot, i was in a relationship with him for 5 years, i have tried everyway possible to help him, he just doesn't want to stop what he's doing, it is my son that's suffering, he has gone very clingy and won't get involved with children at nursery (pre school)
Aww Sapphires, I am so sorry to hear more of your story. I can relate to it as my daughters father was an addict.
I am glad that he is not regularly in your life, but it still has a huge effect on both of you if he thinks that he can just turn up, as and when, he feels like it.
I am sure you have done absolutely everything possible and more to try and help him, but as I know all to well and I am sure you do too, they are the only ones that can help themselves
What do the police say? Have they advised that you get an injunction? Have you spoken with your son's nursery? What have they suggested?
Hi S and welcome to One Space, I am so sorry to hear that your ex is draining you, you have a lot on your plate looking after a young child as well as catering for his disabilities, that you don't need your ex being inconsiderate, let alone abusive.
Do you see your ex regularly? Does he look after your son? How old is your son? Do you have family support?
Sorry so many questions, just want to get to know you a bit more, so that we can best support you.
Have you had any involvement with domestic abuse agencies?
