I panicked when he refused to get out of our home and after taking some hits I dialled '999'.I knew there and then that this was the end of the relationship. It was a one time event, but one time events turn into second time around, third, fourth and I know it is safer to get out of the relationship not just for the sake of the kids but for me too.Problem is, I'm pretty isolated from the support I need. My family live miles away and with two kids, I can't just up sticks and move in with my parents, not to mention I have other issues such as living somewhere where my soon to be ex partner can have access to his children. So what do I do? Where do I start? Reply to this Question

There are other measures too but you need advice. There are also helplines that advice on these matters. You should be able to get some advice to help to deal with this.

 First thing is to contact a lawyer. He/she will be able to tell you what you need to do. You may not have to be the one to leave your home. But really you need a lawyer to tell you your rights and to protect those rights. Do that ASAP.
