Hi @impington7 welcome and thank you for your post. I know it can be difficult to ask for help sometimes, so well done for asking.

First of all, I’d like to say that if you ever feel like you are in immediate danger do not hesitate to call 999. I know you may feel guilty about doing this but for your safety and the safety of your son, it is the best option. 

Do you or your son get any external support? Wether it be from a local group or social services? 

In terms of ignoring him I would say that it would depend on the circumstances of the situation. Like I said earlier, 999 if you are unsafe. 

I can can help you put in a referral for addition support for both you and your son. If you’d like me to just shoot me a message.
