I am now staying with a friend no money I work part time and dont have my little girl with me as he won’t let me see her..can anyone help me give me advise pls on what to do
- contact your GP to discuss your mental health issues/medication etc if this is not already organised and in hand
- speak to citizens advice regarding housing/benefits and your rights with the house etc
- keep records of what is said between you & your partner. Don’t contact him about anything other than your two kids (the under 18s)
- make sure you have access to your own money from work and that he can’t access this - set up new bank account if needed.
- speak to the police - tell them the truth and tell them you need to return to the house to collect your personal belongings etc - ask if they can advise or attend to help you do this. Or, go with someone else and at a time when he will be out.
- are your two younger kids ok to be looked after by him? Is he abusive/drunk/into drugs etc or are they in a safe environment?
