Help required

Vincent from Flaxmere

Hi all.
This is a touchy, hard subject.

As a male, needing a protection order to be safe.
How do I go about this?

I have contacted the community law center and said about my situation, and the reply was they don't think I can do much.

Some background.

My wife and daughter are at logaheads. My wife has suffered what we thought was depression for nearly 8 years and was basically bedroom bound.
Then all of a sudden she went manic and has been sectioned.
She had access to her phone and computer. My daughter and I get constant abuse and threats via these methods.
I rang community law and they said there is not much I can do.

REALLY? If I said or did half of what my partner is doing I am sure she would get immediate help. But I can not get her to stop harressing or abusing either myself or my daughter.

Any suggestions?
