Hi Winkle and Thebe55
Thank you both for sharing your story and we’re very sorry to hear of your difficult situation.
If you have had issues with violence, we would recommend contacting the National Domestic Violence Helpline on 0808 2000 247. This line is free and confidential and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Furthermore if you ever feel you are in immediate danger we would always recommend ringing 999.
Finally your local council will most likely provide an adult safeguarding service for vulnerable adults. If you search “adult safeguarding” and your local council in google, the contact details should come up. To find out your local authority follow this link and type your postcode into the box: https://www.gov.uk/find-local-council
I hope this is helpful, please feel free to drop us an email at admin@adfam.org.uk if you had any further questions about other services you might be able to contact.
Best wishes,
Adfam
