Yesterday my husband attacked me.
We have had our ups and downs like all couples, nothing out of the ordinary I thought.
Before he attacked me we were having a good day, he was off work, we had the plumber in, everything was chilled.
I left to do the school run and came home to him feeling stressed because the toddler had made a mess of talc upstairs. I joked with him a bit to try to diffuse the situation but he suddenly turned nasty.
He grabbed me by the throat and slapped me around the face three times.
I froze. I couldn't believe it was happening. He walked away from me and as we went downstairs he threatened to do it again.
Luckily I had my phone on me and I called the police straight away.
They arrested him and he was given a caution late last night - he's staying with a friend.
There's no fixing this, is there? He's ruined everything. I'm still in shock. Yesterday morning I had a normal life.
