Hi sisters,
Just wondering what you think/if you have any suggestions for me.
My partner & I have been together nearly 3 years, we have a child each and one together.
Long story short: his ex and her adult daughter (my partners not her father) are heavily involved in drugs and seem to blame my partner & I for everything bad that's ever happened to them.
Myself, my partner, my 8 year old and our baby have been threatened with violence, abused, stalked and screamed at in public. They've threatened to "cut my baby out with a screw driver" and called us every obscene name under the sun. I've changed my phone number twice and we've had to move, but they keep finding us. The daughter has come to our home twice with carloads of her criminal mates, screaming threats and kicking our doors and windows, threatening to kill us all in front of our children.
My partners ex died this year from her drug habits, but the daughter and her criminal mates are still carrying on. They just won't stop. We can't go anywhere, I'm essentially trapped in the house with the kids.
Police have been involved on numerous occasions, we have temporary protection orders and are going through court, but we are having a really hard time getting help because the daughter is expert at the waterworks and drama, especially female police are hopeless and fall for the tears.
She has breached the orders and been charged, so now she is running us down to all our family. She had a male associate abuse me at court, in front of police & officials. They just think they are above the law and can do anything.
My partner is devastated and my kids are very sad and scared. We are trying to move interstate, but in the meantime, I'm at a loss as to what to do.
According to female cops this young woman can do whatever she likes because she's had a "tough life" and we should "understand and feel sorry for her".
What about my kids? Don't they deserve to live in peace and safety? Apparently not.
Is it just me? Are we the first new family ever that's been subjected to abuse by female exs/family members? We are falling through the cracks with support services because my partner is a man and no one really knows how to deal with us.
If anyone has any tips/suggestions on how to deal with this crap it would be a huge help. Thanks sisters

It doesn't surprise me. After my sister was bashed by a boyfriend (at the time) the cop that interviewed him suggested that my sister should take him back because he was genuinely sorry!!!
Luckily she didn't listen
Cops are useless sometimes! Rage!
Moving interstate will probably be the best thing to do. It would be hard to get it all happening but once you're settled you can feel safe and happy again.
