Missus just to add my pennyworth. Get the police involved, and if OH doesn't back you up. Get out.
Couple of frogs to eat today, but I survived VAT visit so calmed down a bit yesterday afternoon. I was literally shaking by the time she left.

I've cleared up most of the junk work sent home with my chair... Not sure what to do with the box of hole punches, staplers, filing drawers etc that I don't need... Not going near a CS anytime soon and our charity bags don't take anything except clothes. If I was going into the office I'd take it back, but I don't want to having it hanging around for weeks...
Better do some hoovering and then make an attempt to write a presentation or two...0 -

Cat I was thinking about you and sending possie vibes re VAT man, its not nice to get a visit from them
Missus you asked for advice I hope you heed it for the sake of your child, you can do something about this, your son can't, it might be distressing for his family, but it is distressing for yours right now!!!
dailies managed this week, but I must do the floors sometime soon
just feeling generally blah and the heat has made me swell up like a beach ball, plus not sleeping well, so mega tired:(Sue
Do I need to eat it
Can I afford the calories:eek:
have I checked for a lower calorie version:T0 -
I am probably a bit late with this but wanted to "de-lurk" to say:
Missus.
Hi,
I guess if someone asked you to name the most important thing in your life, you would name your son.
You have been very brave to tell us about what is happening in your life. For the sake of your son you have to be brave just one more time.
Take a deep breath, pick up the phone and call the police.
Do it now, hun.
Thinking of you,
H xxx
P.s i have a dishwasher:)"When stuck in a river, it is best to dive and swim to the bank yourself before someone drops a large stone on your chest in the attempt to hoosh you there" Eeyrore :rolleyes:0 -
Morning all
Missus I hope you are ok. You must be very scared. You know what to do. This is not right in anyway shape or form. You have to get out and that needs to be now. We will be here to listen to you but we need you to act now. Good luck.
Dailies only here planned today as loads of other community/governing/kids stuff to do. Have a good day ladies.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Ooh Missus
I can only repeat what everyone else has said. Honestly, it's just so shocking. I wouldn't worry about your OH not backing you up, if he doesn't then he's not good enough for you. You and your Son are the most important right now. Just do whatever it takes to make you feel safe.
