Abusive partner wants me to go back to him

  • We had a case very close to home in our neighbourhood last week. Lovely, vivacious lady 48, killed by her partner after years of neighbours reporting domestic disturbances.  Please don't be that woman. Imagine if the beating of you by the gang of them had gone further and they then had your children alone.....please take all your courage and protect yourself and your children.
  • No-one deserves coercive control . ((If you can watch last Wednesday's This Morning on catch up then do so.))

  • No need to go back to him. It is not only disturbing for you but also a damaging situation for your kids. Leave this man and make a report against him. You chat with https://chat.womensaid.org.uk/ here and discuss your problem. They would definitely help you. I would also suggest you to start any job to bear your expenses. Become an independent lady and leave this man. 
  • Please for your children's sake, leave and don't go back. He is a bad man. Get support from woman's aid, your friends, family.

    OP I'm wondering if you're the person I and other posters replied to on another thread just over a week ago,
    Same circumstances just different user name. I hope you are because I've been worrying after your cry for help.
    Now police and aid agencies are in the picture stay strong , He has no parental rights over your children. Referring to him as partner means no need for divorce etc.
    Abusers will promise the earth but never change so not worth falling for empty promises.
    What happenend to you and your children is unacceptable.
    As I survivor of DV I can tell you the adiice offered on this thread is good. It sounds as though you're still where you originally posted from . I'd advise moving if WA or similar can find you a safe place.
    Your priority must be to protect the children and yourself. There's a better life for you all and it isn't with him.

    It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

    There but for fortune go you and I.
  • I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this. Keep away from him and try and find safety whether it's with family or in a women's refuge. Where are you now? Are you and the children safe?
  • Abuse is not acceptable and we can't justify it at any stage or in any condition. Your self-dignity is more important that's why don't go back. Better to start doing any job for financial stability and believe me you can do it.

    I was in an abusive relationship with him for 2 years. The children are mine not his. I left a few nights ago after he had his friends round and my ex partner encouraged them to help him beat me in front of my children who were distraught and scared, poor things. And then my ex partner and his friends were shouting in their faces for being upset.

    My ex partner says I have no reason basically for leaving and "need" to come back to him.
    One word. DON'T. Don't put your kids into an abusive relationship. You are stark raving mad if you do. Keep him out of your accommodation, get legal advice, restraining order, or at least change the locks. Talk to Victim Support. Get yourse;f put on the At Risk register to flag any call made to police as urgent.

    If your children are of school age please let the school know that this man can not have access.
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)
