Help! Anyone ! The local police just called me

[Mydoghasbettereyebrowsthanme]

Exactly that - my DH went out when I was washing up and have not heard from him since . That was about 830-9. Eight minutes ago a woman rang me and said that he was at the local police station , they couldn't say why and that he was fine. That he would call me in the morning . I can't speak to him he is asleep and no one is hurt and he is ok but they could not ring earlier as they have been busy . What does this even mean ??? Why would they call to say that ? Am panicked and thinking up alsorts and unlikely to sleep now . Can anyone help me ? Please xx

Now you're shaming her for not instantly leaving him.

Give me strength. You need to put that bong down and go to bed love

Wow Chinchinatti, can you not feel any empathy for the OP?

@Chinchinatti You having a laugh dear? You ok hun? Not quite the place for it, is it?

I'm so sorry OP, what a wanker he is.

I hope you are OK OP 💐

@chinchinnatti what’s up then? Maybe start another thread for the support you need. @Mydoghasbettereyebrowsthanme
Hope you can get some rest now and strength for the days ahead.

I've reported all of your comments. You're personally attacking the OP.
Perhaps you have a drinking problem yourself. @Chinchinatti

OP it seems like you are just sleepwalking through life - how did you end up with such a loser and why do you stay? Do you have that little respect for yourself? Do you care that little about your children and what you are teaching them to expect from life? Time to wake up Love, use this as the excuse you so badly need to turn your life around.
“I left my husband cause he was a drunk driver”
“I left your father because he drove drunk and could have killed somebody”
Nobody would argue with or question that, ever. You don’t have to explain yourself or try and justify your actions, it’s an easy break. Do it, and do it now. Be brave. For yourself but also for your children.
Please also consider counselling to try and figure out why you think you are worth so little. You are not.

@lockdownbird
You too deserve better. Why are you still with him? You call his mum a “wet rag” for never standing up to his dad - what on earth do you think people say about you for staying with your husband? Be brave, make a change. A big one! There’s so much better out there.

Hi OP. You've probably looked at the calculator by now and know that you are probably looking at a 2 year ban and large fine. I am so sorry you are going through this.

I , like others, have skimmed through your previous posts about this man and can honestly say he doesn't sound like a keeper. Today's post also suggests that he is an alcoholic.

It seems to be like this might be your time to leave and start afresh. You are not happy and haven't been for some time. It's not your responsibility to help him through this.

Hope you are ok OP. Hope you ignored that nonsense x

What an absolute shit head he is op
Honestly that would be it for me he’d be out on his arse when he got home
Generally things don’t sound great in regards to drinking what was different last night that meant he took the car - though some of our government seems to think rules don’t apply to them so maybe just taking a leaf out of their book
I hope you get on ok today I really do

Hope you have a decent sleep OP.

Just read the thread, the whole situation sounds awful. You must be so furious with him for doing this again especially when he drives for his job!

I think it's probably time to seriously think about if you want to continue having him around. We all know how serious drink driving is, and he's been caught twice - and who knows if he's done it before and not been caught?

Sorry you're going through this OP.

Hope you are long asleep op- just joining the support for you, and to say ignore the clearly unhappy/angry poster who was targeting you! Thinking practically- I'm assuming that the police won't have given him the car keys home (or the car!) How will op get this back if any knowledgable posters would know. I'm assuming have to present at station with licence and docs?

OP, I’m relieved to hear he is safely home, hasn’t injured anyone or himself. I hope you and your DC come through this crisis safely too, I mean his conviction and unemployment (again) and the effects his behaviour inflicts on you all. You deserve so much better. I wish you the best of luck for the future, with or without him.

I would expect a ban of 18 months to two years. He can do a course which reduces the length (by a third) of it, but you have to pay for it.
There will also be a fine and costs to pay.

He can use the duty solicitor for advice at the court hearing, but it may be worth contacting local solicitors for advice first (they might be able to assist but I doubt he would get legal aid). A cheaper option is to contact a direct access barrister (I am one) and they are often considerably cheaper than solicitors.
