Hello!

Get a solicitor, first thing tomorow.

: )

If in the meantime something happens, he calls you, threatens you or what ever, something that makes you feel in anyway threatened or uncomfortable then call the police, otherwise wait untill tomorrow and contact your solicitor.

Take care.

You don't have to feel scared.

You might like to do the Freedom  Programme on here it is so helpful to understand the mechanics of it and as you get a certificate afterwards you can show professionals you are trying to understand it and work with it

Hi bizzlizzy89, 

both Bubblegum and Skyflower have already given you the best advice: get legal advice and keep calling the police if you think you or the baby might be at risk. 

As Skyflower has said, Womansaid are brilliant in a crisis, they really are there for you and will give you much positive and practical advice. Please contact them, you really are not alone in this and there are many people out there who are there to support you and help you. 

And whatever you do, keep an accurate account of every incident, every time, write it down so you don't forget, you will need all the evidence you can get to get this guy off your life. 

Your safety and that of your child come first. Both the Police and Social Service are under obligation to help you, so make sure you get in touch. I would start with Womansaid, as they will guide you through the next steps!

Let us know how you get on with them!
