Should I move?

[xAngelbaby]

Need some advise. I live in the same village as my ex, the father of my baby. We have not been together for about a year now and he lives with his mum. He used to hit me so I broke up with him. Then on Saturday he come over to see his son and becouse I got a new tellY he went mental at me starting kicking and hiting me. Lucky our son was still in bed at this time. The police were called and he got arrested. Anyway the question is should I move from hear? Went to see a house on Wednesday and I like it but I like living hear I have been hear for 3 years now. The village were I live now well the ex lives hear and is always wanting to see his son and trying to get back with me but he's always abusive with me. His family all live hear as well and they don't bother to come and see our son. Don't want to move but my life would be better and my son want see his father hiting me. Can't sleep becouse I'm thinking about it all the time. What should I do??

I'd personally stop all contact with him regarding your son (and everything else). If you're happy living where you are then I wouldn't move. If you're worried I'd get the police to have an injunction put forward so that he can't come near you, your son or your house. Hugs. Sorry you're going through that xx

Getting a retraining order approved is your first point of action, that will then allow you to remain where you are if you are happy there.. If you wish to allow him access to your son you can apply for it him to have supervised visitation with someone you know or a contact centre.

Get a prohibited steps order(UK form of injunction) and residents order for your son. Move house and don't tell anyone where you live. Contact him and tell him if he wants contact he can go to court. Easy to get your post re directed to see if he goes to court etc.

If his violence and you want to stay in the area don't have visits in your house. Go to public places only, you don't have to be involved in visit, he can go to a contact centre or have visits at his mums house and you just drop off with his mum and pick up from his mum etc Plenty of way around it.

If it was me, I'd move and not look back
