Someone in my street has recognised my ex and has called the Police wanting information. Because I live in a housing association place and because of the risk to me, my son and the ex, he can no longer visit us. He's my carer. My son is very poorly also and Autistic. He can't leave the home so the relationship he had with his Dad, which was very good, is all but gone. Aside from the paralysing fear I'm living with, this all feels really really unfair and I'm SO done with it all. Sometimes I hate my ex, but my son adores him.
I feel utterly powerless.

So sorry you find yourself in such difficult circumstances, there is such a knock on affect for the innocent families, it is so unfair.

Hey lovely.

I am honestly so sorry it's come to that for you.

Is there any chance of a move?

I have had social, drs and therapist right me a letter to help me get on the council list to move. Luckily it's not my neighbours but people in the town which is about 5 minute walk from mine..

I get the fear of not wanting to go out etc.

I often question what about our rights. Our rights to live our lives without harassment we have done nothing wrong.

My partner is rehabilitated and worked so hard on himself.

But me and my 2 year old don't deserve the abuse thrown our way. That's her dad and she adores him. I always fear social will say he can't be at mine if it continues and I don't know where that would put me and my daughter as he my main support and I have chronic pain conditions.

Wish people reliased just how much their actions affect the family too

I'm so sorry Little Robin, this must be just so very hard for you. I know from my own experience what a lonely path it is to tread. What an extremely difficult position to be in as a mother, you must feel torn in two - as I am . Continue reaching out for help however hard it is - you're not alone x

Thanks everyone

A mutual swap isn't really an option because my rent is so high so no one wants try swap with me. I will speak to my CPN - when I can get hold of him to see if he'll do a letter to recommend we get moved. But.... moving would be a huge deal for my son. He's been through so much. He craves familiarity which is why we came back to the town where he grew up but that's turned out to be a huge mistake. I hate where I am and we're so incredibly isolated. Plus, the ex's case is due sentencing in the courts next week but it's been adjourned 4 times so far. It'll go in the press here again so anyone around here who doesn't know, will do soon, so there's all that to go through. I'm so very weary.
