Husband threw something at my head

Hope you’re ok op.

My ex first threw a scrunched up receipt in my face. When I was upset by it - the shock and disrespect as obviously it didn’t hurt - he just laughed at me. But it was only a receipt because that’s what was in his hand. If it had been car keys or a full bottle of water is that what he’d have thrown?

I stupidly gave him the benefit of the doubt again and again, through escalations of throwing things, kicking things over, always with several months or years in between, along with monthly accusations of ME being crazy. I was too deep in it to see what was really happening and even after he was arrested I ended up taking him
back.

it’s only after over 2 years apart that I can really see it for what it was. Please don’t be me OP. Give your baby a better example of a relationship than I did for mine 😢

I’m so glad you reported it. It IS assault and it’s also massively disrespectful to you and to your baby. This is not a good man. Now work with the authorities to make sure you and your child are kept safe from a repeat/escalation of this nasty behaviour.

OP has filled out an online form. Leave OP to get on with her day. She has already received alot of advice from this forum and has made her decision

Call the police and take a picture of your injury so you have the record/evidence of what he did.

Ask the police to keep him out of the house, press charges and start your plans to leave him.

He could have also hurt the child you were holding and it is your responsibility to keep your children safe.

Once someone starts hurting you like this don't give them a chance to do it again.

The form will do something. I have filled in 2 for work related issues. The police have rung within a few hours.

How are you doing this
Morning OP did you sleep okay? X

How are things this morning?

This is only going to get worse OP.

Next time it could be a glass he throws at you. Or his fist.

Personally I’d call the police. Grab my kids, and get a hotel for the night. & tell your family asap.

3 innocent women were murdered this week due to male violence against women. These things need reporting. When the fuck are men going to learn that violence is not acceptable.

Having been there, done that...my experience was very different. Whilst I do understand that it's important to record/report this event..the priority should be to make a plan to leave. The police absolutely should be there to support you, but unfortunately they might not prioritise that as much as you should. All the advice you've been given is valuable. Good luck, I hope you find a way out

Yes. Call the police and get out asap. Any man who hurts you while you’re holding a child is going to do worse to you when you’re alone. Don’t hesitate, you need to keep your child safe as well as yourself.

This is backwards

You call the police first.... because then there are services who can assist with enforcing it and keep op safe

I'd tell him in the morning, I want you to leave and I'm going to call the police if you don't. X

Stay safe and keep your phone charged.

If you have a landline tell the bigger child to dial 999 and drop the phone if daddy acts up. Abandoned calls are answered on two wheels.

Fingers crossed and for fucks sake, get out asap.

And (edit)

You can email 101.

And dial 999 if he acts up during the night and slide your phone to the side. They'll have him on tape. Just mention your address so they can attend.

He is a danger to your child who he could easily have hit instead of you. Make sure the police know this. This sounds like a beginning of a series of abusive acts - nip it in the bud now. Hope you're ok

I’m so sorry this has happened. Hopefully the police will contact you very soon.

Oh my god

Lots of "throwing things at my partner's head" related threads about lately.

Call the Police

What did he throw? Not that anything is ok, but tossing a blueberry at your face is different to throwing a glass at your head.

I am judging by the thread though it was serious and he was aiming for your head instead of throwing something in the air. It sounds like assault, and you need to protect your children.

Not when he was holding a baby though. Although no-one should be throwing anything at anyone. But any woman who admitted to throwing a bin/toy at another adult holding a baby would be ripped to pieces on here and you know it.

Take photos of your lip and write down what happened including the conversation while fresh in your mind.

I've thrown soft toys before, but in jest not in anger, and obviously very gently. But if course if it actually hit and hurt someone I'd be utterly mortified. His reaction is telling.

Please either leave the house and go somewhere safe or have someone with you when he finds out you've contacted the police.

Call the police, don’t call the police, it’s up to you, I don’t know what they would do.

But that man would be dead to me. No one throws something at me. While I am holding a child? Absolute double down on dead to me. I could never look at them the same way. Completely inhumane behaviour. Who throws objects at another persons head? Even worse, while they are holding a small child?!?

That ‘person’ has left my circle of trusted people and gone into unpredictable possibly violent people. Get the fuck away from me and my children, would be my main thought.

Are you Ok? Maybe overwhelmed? It's Ok to feel that.

Look after yourself OP. I hope the police arrest him and remove him from the home. If you feel even slightly threatened, call 999 and get yourself and the kids out. Go to a neighbour if you have to.
