Hi all,
This situation isn't about me, but the cousin of my friend from liverpool looking for advice.
The cousin is currently in a relationship with a drug dealer (although she has never participated in any of his illegal activites) and they share one child (and she has one child with a former partner).
Recently he has started living with her (in her own house that she owns) as well as living with his parents as well, and while living in her house he has brought drugs in to weigh and bag ready to distribute (around the children). He has hit her in the past, and is constantly being mentally abusive, telling her she's fat and ugly etc. and has also threatened her with a knife before, and she is not allowed to go out without him allowing her, he threatens to leave her, and then will tell her he loves her, to get back in her head, so she feels conflicted about leaving him.
She wants to leave him, but is scared of him hurting either her or her children, and she is scared of getting the police involved incase she is also held responsible for her boyfriend storing and selling drugs on her property and ends up having her children taken away from her. She is refusing to leave him until she knows both her and her children will be ok and they won't be taken off of her, she is a really good mum to them and is just scared of her situation. And as well she wants to get a restraining order if possible and make sure he doesnt have any custody of the children.
Any help would be much appreciated, a meeting with a solicitor is going to be arranged, but we want as much info / research as possible to put her mind at rest over her worries so she feels like she can move forward without being scared. Any questions I will be happy to answer
Thanks in advance
