She should get away now! I don't know if they have battered womens shelters in your country...I hope so, 'cause that's where she needs to be...in a safe place for her and her kids. This isn't something to play around with. I know, I was in an abusive relationship that almost killed me! If there are no such shelters in your area, she needs to go to friends or family that he knows nothing about. Away from the area she is presently in. Please help her to figure this out. She is in grave danger. I will be praying for you both!

Get on to your local victim support charity as they will have a list of charities with all the info on what is available to help her.

In the mean time make sure that her locks are changed and she has a bolt fitted so she feels a bit more secure.

Make sure she has her phone charged so she can ring the police if he turns up and talk to the Citizens Advice Bureau about restraining orders and other things she can do.

Some police forces are quite good as keeping an eye so see if she can get in touch with the detectives that she was assigned when she put him away.

Good Luck!! xx
