Was his convictions against you? Not that it matters, as things have gone too far!
I know what you mean about the family, I’ve been to my in laws and not got any help at all and I think it’s disgusting that they have put their son over their grandchildren considering what he’s done and continues to do to us. That just goes to show what type of upbringing he has had!
I understand that your family are most probably frustrated with you, because I’ve had to have a few stern words spoken to me from my family. Don’t forget, your family are going through this too and feel your hurt and the kids hurt. It affects the wider family too! This is not your fault though, you done your hardest to try and help your husband and keep your family together and I’ve tried to do the same, and no one can judge you unless they have been in your position. I know women that have just turned a blind eye for the easy life.
Of course your priorities are to be re-housed! Social services are key to that, a social worker can help push that for you. I would also recommend counselling once your other needs are met because it is in your best interest because you have been subjected to domestic abuse and your own self worth is most probably at rock bottom, and what good is that to your kids if you’re unwell. Get house sorted, your mental state sorted and kids sorted, they need their Mum!
