Hi Annajot
I’m one of the moderators here and I am sorry you are feeling like this. Its important that as well as getting support from other parents on the forum who may have been in similar situations we give you the details of agencies that may be able to give you professional advice. You have talked about being afraid. You can always speak with the National Domestic Violence Helpline. They not only deal with people that have been physically abused but also emotional abuse too. On the helpline they will be able to discuss your options with you.
I also recommend that you contact our single parent helpline. Our advisers are experienced with what rights you are entitled too they will be able to explore this further. Below are the details for both helplines and I wish you and your baby well for the future.
• National Domestic Violence helpline – for support with regards to current or historic abuse Freephone, 24-hour: 0808 2000 247 http://www.nationaldomesticviolencehelpline.org.uk/
• Gingerbread Single Parent Helpline – Freephone 0808 802 0925
Opening hours: Mon 10 – 6, Tues 10- 4, Wed 10 – 1 & 5 – 7, Thurs 10 – 4, Fri 10 – 4 They can be busy so callers can expect to wait up to 20 minutes before the call is answered
I hope this helps, Justine
