Hi R123, I am in the same situation, husband emotionally abusive to me and our two children, sometimes physical in the case of my son. A month ago i left with the two children and moved onto my mums. I said to him either you move out or me and the children will stay here. He moved to his mums and we moved home. What I did before all this, I went to the doctors and told them all what was happening, they reported it to safeguarding and brought our two children in to speak to them , then after what they said reported the children to safeguarding too. Social services got involved and are doing an assessment currently. I also contacted women’s aid and they gave me good people to contact. Also safer places are brilliant and a real support. You should contact them. Also go to a solicitor and find out your rights, financial as well as if you can get him out. You can also take out a non molestation order and an occupational order but you have to be able to prove abuse. Are you able to put together all your evidence ? I also secretly taped the things he would say to me on my phone. I can relate to what you are going through, you’re not alone.
