Does anybody know or have experience of whether the police will disclose if a person has a history of violence if you are in fear of your safety?
I know this is an unconventional place to ask this question,but I've found people to have diverse knowledge on here.
Thanks |

You are not an idiot. Bad people are usually very good at being bad and making you feel like you're the one in the wrong. Trust yourself and your instinct. Seeing the truth is the first step and sometimes the hardest. I hope you are okay x |

You are not responsible for someone else’s behaviour and you are not an idiot if you have got stuck in a situation where you are being abused (or fearful of the possibility of being so). However, you are important and worthwhile and it is imperative that if something does not feel right you seek help.
Sending you strength. Xx |

I knew someone for 6 months before their true violent colours started to show.
Some guys are very clever at masking this behaviour so take care, don't believe the err? it will never happen again stuff because it will.
The police are supportive and so are other organisations these days unlike the past when most of us suffered until we could escape'...  |

Please tell your friends and family and go to the police. These type of men/women can be very manipulating. If you are in a relationship with someone that has a history of violence or is on a criminal register the police have a duty to inform you. If you have children the police will then inform social services but please don't be scared of them getting Involved they are there to help. Xxx |

You are far from an if I.
Trust your gut...... ALWAYS
I absolutely don't want to put words into your mouth but I'm gonna throw a few things out there and see if you can relate to any of them..
Dismissing your feelings, as if you are over sensitive or need to grow a thicker skin
Blaming their actions on you
Contradict themselves
Put you down (sometimes in a very sly way)
What would you do without me?
Do you find yourself worrying you might upset them so don't say things you feel you need to, purely because you don't want the backlash?
Do you worry what mood they will be in?
Walking on eggshells? |

It's not standard for others to pose a big risk to us, so we may not expect or understand all signs plus -
Some people are devious and will cover themselves, preventing others from working them out. The only error comes from abusive people in relationships |

OMG,yes!!
If I 'feel' a certain way that he doesn't agree with I'm wrong.
If I don't want to see him I daren't say so, bcos I know there will be repercussions of verbal & aggressive behaviour
I'll never find anyone as good as him. & If it wasn't for him…
The list goes on…
I suddenly 'twigged' last night (couldn't sleep) that he'd made himself the ONLY person in my life that he was happy for me to see. Its taken me too long to realise but at least I have.
I hope your situation is now resolved Peach, Thank You |

Thought worth a post to pop on the domestic violence checklist from Refuge:
Domestic violence is caused by an abuser’s desire to gain power and control over their partner. Abusers use a range of different tactics – physical, emotional, sexual, financial – to achieve this.
This list may help you to identify whether you are experiencing domestic violence:
Are you afraid of your partner?
Do you feel isolated? Does he cut you off from family and friends?
Is he jealous and possessive?
Does he humiliate or insult you?
Does he verbally abuse you?
Does he say you are useless and couldn’t cope without him?
Does he physically hurt you? Does he shove, slap, punch or kick you?
Has he threatened to hurt you or people close to you?
Does he constantly criticise you?
Does he have sudden changes of mood which dominate the household?
Is he charming one minute and abusive the next? Like Dr Jekyll / Mr Hyde?
Does he control your money?
Do you change your behaviour to avoid triggering an attack?
Are you unsure of your own judgement?
Does he damage your possessions?
Does he smash up the furniture?
Does he threaten to harm or kill the pets?
Does he threaten to steal or get custody of the children?
Does he drive fast because he knows it scares you?
Does he lock you out of the house during an argument?
Does he tell you what to wear or how to do your hair?
And yes, before someone takes offence, an abuser could be non-male, but I’ve taken this direct from site, apart from changing a word not allowed on the forum to “steal”.

I've been there before and I honestly thought I was losing my mind. Looking back it feels like I was a different person. I found reading forums about being in a relationship with a psychopath really helped me to feel like I'm not alone and not crazy. If you want to talk about it feel free to message.
It's brilliant you've told your mum. Once you start telling people you feel accountable to them and will be less likely to go back. You're stronger that you think. X |

I'm safe, I'm independent again, but most of all....
I'm ME again! 
It takes a lot of strength to get yourself out of a situation, you can do it, there's support out there |

I wish I lived local to you so I could offer my help and support.
I've been through exactly like you. My son walked in on my ex as he was in mid swing to attack me. He made me sign up for a joint bank account and transfer all mine and my children's money into that account. He made me give him a detailed account of anything I wanted to buy with my own money, and often told me I wasn't allowed it. He tried making me give up my career. Told me I wasn't allowed to go on public transport. He called all my friends slags and causes some to not be friends with me anymore. Wasn't allowed on nights out. He'd stalk me when I was out but he was meant to be at work. Forced me to pay out for his own son. He never went out with friends. He was always around me. He tried forcing me to accept his marriage proposal. The list goes on.
Enough was enough. Thankfully that house was my house only. He had no claim on it so i threw him out. Luckily I have huge brothers and uncles. Seeing as I became brave enough to stand up to him and tell my family, I had their full support. Few weeks later, never heard from him again.
Really hope you're ok. Believe me, you're not alone! Here if you ever need to chat. |

I'm glad you're doing something about it and getting out. I was married for over 22 years to a man that was an abusive bully. It started off very subtle but by the time I realised and finally asked him to leave I was a very different person. Two years down the line I'm damaged but getting stronger. X |
