Just need advice as I suffer from anxiety, and find it hard thinking that notifying the police etc is my OH problem and not mine. Need to go away for a couple of nights as OH mother is ill and she does not know so we have to together.



So do I book a hotel and then we tell the police? What if they do not approve it? Can they stop us? We never see his visor, they do not return our emails nor ring when OH goes to the police station to ask questions. Just say they will pass on the message and then we do not hear anything.
