DP just threw a cup at DD

I'll try to keep it short as I it just happened.

Kids got dropped off by their dad earlier. All has appeared to be fine, DP in a good mood as we all were. He went off to cook his dinner (kids eaten and I didn't want anything). DS and DD(6 and on the spectrum/ADHD) asked if they could have a fizzy drink and I said yes, go ask DP for cups as he is in the kitchen. They asked nicely but DP brought out two squashes. (To note, they only have one glass of fizzy a day as agreed with my ExH so hadn't been drinking fizzy all day every day).

That's fine, said to the kids to drink at least half of them then tip them away. DS drinks all of his and I manage to actually convince DD to drink 3/4 of hers which is an achievement in itself. I then ask her to tip what's left away and I will pour her a fizzy drink.

DP stopped her in the kitchen and asked why there was some left. I called through and said I had said they can drink half and tip the rest out. He kept questioning her so I said, again that I had said it was ok. He swore, snatched the cup from her, tipped it in the sink and threw it at her. Obviously she was terrified and burst into tears.

Was in a it of disbelief and asked him if he really just threw a cup at my daughter. He yelled at me that it wasn't AT her, it was NEAR her. I just walked away to go and console her.

He doesn't have form for this at all. He has rarely even yelled, never mind anything else, even when he is stressed. He has now stormed off out and I have zero clue where he is. I'm in complete shock. I was in an abusive relationship before this and it has triggered a panic attack and I can't calm down.

Need some perspective and to know whether or not I am overreacting by being absolutely livid with him.

@MotherOfDemons
My friend’s partner kicked and pushed her daughter from her previous marriage.
Daughter aged 4 at the time

Tragically she (friend)also then got a mug thrown at her which caused her head to split open so she needed metal staples in her scalp.

She then had a child with this &rse and we lost contact.

Be very very careful.
He sounds nasty.

A zombie thread?
Maybe the new bloke made her not have any contact… Hope OP is ok

@MotherOfDemons. I don’t believe this is alright at all but I think you need to speak with him to find out what has potentially triggered this. Particularly as this is so out of character.

In my opinion, you leaving or you packing his bags isn’t the answer. Please communicate with him.

I realise I’m probably in the minority here. Mumsnet is a bit knee-jerk reaction sometimes.

Zombie thread.

@GreenFingersWouldBeHandy, what is a zombie thread?

It’s old! The op made her decision 3 months ago!

Maybe just read the thread?

Knee jerk reaction is ironic since you have read the OP which was posted 3 months ago and jumped straight in to reply without actually bothering to find out what happened.

@Courtneyfish

Omg he threw a cup on the direction of your daughter and everyones saying leave him I dont get it? Did you leave him? This is ridiculous!
The fault of this one who resurrected it for Some reason today

@Courtneyfish

You could find out what happened by actually reading the thread - or at the very least the OPs updates.

Horrendous situation for you to be in whilst pregnant but at least you know now OP.

The cup throwing is vile but so is the repeating that your DD should drink what was in the cup FFS!! She may of had enough. Poor thing.

IDontThinkSoNo · 01/11/2021 17:16

FFS!! ZOMBIE

Genuine question: Why didn't you read the thread?

The number of posts saying that it's a zombie would have been a clue.

..or even just bother to look at the OPs updates.

BunNcheese · 01/11/2021 18:19

Mind your own.

ED81 · 02/11/2021 06:59

@vajingleberry.
And your reply just made me have a deep sigh.

For goodness sake. What is wrong with people.
