Re: Worrying developments, kids included

Your situation is untenable. Get out NOW! You noticed that his behavior is starting to affect the kids and you (of course) don't like what you're seeing. Call the domestic abuse hotline and through them, have a police officer present when you and the kids leave. I'm sure the shelters for abused women are like the ones in the US---in that their addresses are kept very private.

When he goes to work, you go to work, too (so to speak). Call the hotline and let them know that you have a small window of opportunity to get yourself and the kids out of there. Tell them what you've posted here---that you now fear for your physical safety and that of your kids.

You mentioned that you have money. I hope it's kept in a separate account rather than a joint account. I also hope you've gotten in touch with a good divorce lawyer. Again, the hotline will be of enormous help to you. The more you go into detail, the more I think---and feel in my gut---that you have to get out now!

Best of luck and please get going. The longer you stay, the more your kids are negatively affected. Tweet
