    i feel like ending it all,just so i can get away

    Your children need you.

    It doesn't matter if your family "have room". They will make room. They will want to help.

    Get yourself and your children out. Ring the police, contact the womens charities others have mentioned, and/or go to your family.

    Good luck x

    Please, please, get out and take the kids with you. It doesn't matter if your family don't have the room, if they knew that your husband had hit you they'd make room, even if it's just camping on the living room floor for the time being.

    Has he hit you before or is this the first time? Even if it is the first time if he thinks he's got away with it he'll do it again.

    Be strong for yourself and your kids, they need you. There is help out there.

    my family live miles away,and really dont have the room for us,iam going to get the kids to bed then ill take laptop to bed with me,very wary that he will see what i have wrote


    My mother was beaten by her ex partner when I was a toddler in the house late at night (he was there because he was the father of my sibling). I'm now in my thirties and I still remember this incident that occurred when I was two and was the first of several nasty incidents.

    Please get help NOW if not for yourself for your children.

    OP I don't know if you're still online but if you are, call Women's Aid and speak to them. Even if you're not ready to leave yet they can get your details so that if you call them back all you need to do is say I'm ready and they can start working to find you somewhere.

    The other alternative is to take the kids and go to your local police station- they can liaise with Women's Aid to sort out a refuge place for you and the children, and an officer can accompany you to your house to collect things if needs be.

    The refuge can sort things out like money etc etc- please don't suffer alone hun. There is help out there.

    Doesn't really matter, A man should never hit a woman! He's a bad influence on your children and you deserve better.

    Call the police and get as far away from him as possible.
    I try to help as much as I can. But I'm also honest and speak my mind.

    You could deal with this one of two ways. Phone 999 now, have him arrested for the violence and abuse he has inflicted on you. Let all manner of organisations, family and friends help you and gradually move on with your life. Even if you dont have a phone, go to a neighbour. Even better if you have access to a car, get in it, drive away and call from somewhere where you feel safe.

    Or you can stay put, at risk from god knows what. Any man or woman who feels it is okay to do what your husband has done is out of control. Domestic violence only ever gets worse. Please do not get to the stage I did. After suffering years of mental and physical abuse i finally went to the police. An officer in their domestic violence team told me that nothing I could say would shock her. I had her in tears within ten minutes. I was told I was at their highest level of risk, that the house was going on immediate response. There is nothing more terrifying than being told your kids will be next and if you dont get out now there is only one way it would end. I dont want anyone to ever have to go through that if I can prevent it.

    Im not saying this to scare you but this is the reality of the situation you are in. Get away from it.
