Charlotte | Domestic Abuse.

I lived with a serving police officer for 11yrs, we had a child together and we both had other children from previous relationships. My older children lived with us. He was verbally and physically abusive. I visited A & E depts on a number of occasions and also stayed at Women’s Aid refuges . I reported the abuse to his Senior Officers and made a statement. They did not want to know and nothing was done. I finally made the right decision to leave him . He then broke into my home and stole items from my home including food from the fridge. My underwear, and children’s games and TV, also my car which enabled me to work as we lived in the countryside. When this was reported to police they did nothing.
