if I left my husband yesterday after a violent outburst and months of physical and verbal abuse, how can I get back into my home to get things for my children and I?
I took nothing because I was in fear for my life. Today, He messaged me saying he would leave so I could bring our kids home. After several hours I messaged him back asking if he was gone so I could go pick up clothes and personal items, as I have no intention of returning. He informed me that I took what I wanted when I left and was not entitled to anything else. How can I safely get my stuff back? I contacted the police and was told they don’t handle this type of situation.

I think that you should seek help from an attorney as to your rights at this stage. Do you wish to get back in the home and get him out? You sound as if you need an order of protection for you and your children. And support. And exclusive occupancy of the home. Only a Judge can give you that. Good luck.
