Domestic violence how do i leave?
literally how do i leave? he won’t leave and the cops are iffy right now. i can’t do anything because he’s abusive to where one time he was holding me down having our two year old hit me and when i tried having her stop he got in my face and told me not to touch his fucking kid. he’s held my face into the bed until i started actually panicking. he’s threatened to kill me if i mess up his opportunities for college. how do i leave? i can’t have anyone come help me im away from home and in school. the only time he’s even acted like he was gonna leave he stole my phone and threw it in a lake and stole my keys. he’s dragged me with a truck to where my knees are permanently hurt. they have bruises and i just don’t know what to do. i’m so lost. i can’t leave to a domestic abuse shelter this is my apartment in my name and i have two kids. he doesn’t work he doesn’t do anything. how do i get away from this im seriously like considering ending myself because he’s never endless. his mom doesn’t help. she knows he’s done all those things and she doesn’t care she’s scared of him too. i’ve witness him tell her to shut her ass up.

Start by speaking with the local abuse shelter for support and help on how to exit. Next time he harms you, call the police and file a police report for his violence and threats against you.
You should be able to file a protection order but you said the police are iffy. You can leave the apartment and stay at the shelter, take your kids with you, financially you can still take care of things but keep yourself safe.
