My 4 year old bought a doll in the supermaket last night which my OH was very unhappy about, he says dolls are for girls, he doesn't appreciate the toys he's got and expects too much.

Last night he told our son he is f*cking furious and this morning has ignored him every time he has tried to speak to Daddy.

Is this behaviour being unreasonable?

Well done OP!

That recording will stand you in excellent stead for making sure the arsehole never sees the DCs again unsupervised.

I assume you will want supervised access only? Might be worth speaking to some agencies (school, HV, GP etc) and making sure that there is documented evidence of this behaviour. Otherwise you may face problems as a later date insisting on supervised access only. And really that excuse for a man shouldn't have unsupervised access.

How are you today OP? I have been thinking of you and wondering how things were last night?

MarchEliza · 19/09/2014 11:18

I think you are very brave and am so glad you've resolved to take the only viable action that will lead to a happy, healthy future for you and both your boys. They are lucky to have you and soon this will all be behind you. x

Is your other DS older or younger? Your husband sounds absolutely vile btw and I am so pleased you are being strong and are going to protect your children

OP

Well done for starting to put things in motion.

Make an appointment at school, play that recording to the head and tell the head you do not want your STBXH anywhere near your child.

Over the next few days or weeks if you have any doubts come back here, there is always someone online to help out.

A long time now since I've posted but I thought I'd come back and update. At the beginning of October I left and we've been in a refuge since (well 2 actually as he found us at the first)!) he continues to whine about how much he loves and misses the boys (his number is blocked but he can still leave messages) I have no doubt he has completely forgotten the above ever happened.

I am so happy to hear that mum, as will everyone else on here I am sure. It is so inspiring to hear that you have been able to activate your inner tiger!!!!!

AyMamita · 11/01/2015 16:47

Well done for getting out!

Fabulous46 · 11/01/2015 16:48

I've just read the thread and all I have to say is well done you. I hope you and the boys are living a happier, stress free, abuse free life.

MangoBiscuit · 11/01/2015 16:52

Well done OP, really, really well done. Flowers

MrsTerryPratchett · 11/01/2015 16:54

You're a star. Well done for leaving.

Fooshufflewickbannanapants · 11/01/2015 17:42

Well done you are amazing, an inspiration to your boys.

seeminglyso · 11/01/2015 17:43

Your husband sounds like a total misogynist. My boy had a doll and a pink pram and has an Elsa dress from frozen...his daddy doesn't bat an eye lid...why the feck would he. You need out of that marraige Asap or your son is going to grow up with this influence ...not good!

seeminglyso · 11/01/2015 17:45

Oh wow just read your update - good on you! Certainly the right decision.

Jodie1982 · 11/01/2015 17:47

Are you being serious??

Some of the questions on here are too outrageous for me to believe!

Ffs why are you with someone that treats your precious like that?

ilovesooty · 11/01/2015 17:51

I do wish people would RTFT.

Well done for getting out OP.

flippinada · 11/01/2015 17:54

Mumof2 that is fantastic news. So often you read these threads and there isn't a happy ending. Well done you, that takes real strenth. Have some Flowers. And a dolly for your youngest, too :).

MadameJosephine · 11/01/2015 17:54

Well done and good luck for the future with your boys, you have done the right thing for you all.

flippinada · 11/01/2015 17:55

*strength!

Jodie1982 · 11/01/2015 17:55

Just read the whole thread, didn't notice it started back in Sept.

Glad to hear your out OP, and wishing you and your boys a bright n happy future. X

MiscellaneousAssortment · 11/01/2015 18:22

Well done. You've been so brave

notagainffffffffs · 11/01/2015 18:27

I remember this thread first time round :) well done! Best of luck for this year :)

BadgersNadgers · 11/01/2015 18:52

Good for you Mumof2, hope everything works out for you and your boys Thanks

woowoo22 · 11/01/2015 19:07

Well done you OP. Have you noticed changes (for the better) in your kids? Very well done.
