Hi.
Quick back story I have 2 beautiful boys from a previous relationship and 2 to my partner. Anyway he treats my boys like crap always yelling at them and not letting them be kids. The other day he yelled at my son in such a horrible way I stepped in and than he proceeded to tell me I was a bad mother because I hadn't started dinner! It was 5:30 and I was getting ready for night shift. I told him, he needed to leave now! He is still in our home begging me to give him another chance. I don't know what to do. He has really bad depression and anxiety, he also has two children he doesn'take effort to go see, he is in a shit load of debt he won't pay. I'm stressed and am so confused. I need to protect my children but I don't know what I'm meant to do

Hello Beck!!,

https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/individuals/subjects/family-and-domestic-violence

That is a link to some government services for assistance with domestic violence/abuse etc. Definitely have a read, there may be more local council or private services available in your area to follow up with.

If your current partners behaviour is not acceptable or safe for you and your children then something needs to change. You have a right to be safe in your home.

Now it could just be that he needs to get some counselling, maybe you guys do some relationship counselling and bing, it all gets better. Or it could require more serious intervention, and you are the person in best position to make that decision, but it is a good idea to get the facts on what options are available to you.

Financial abuse can be just as bad as physical abuse for keeping and controlling people, his debt begins to impact your options because your money is all twisted together. He has issues, he needs to do something about them. You can support him, you cannot fix him.
