Hi

I recently split from a partner after 8ths he's got angry and few times blamed it on alcohol an not remembering etc..

This time he done it in front of my children, he got agressive, throwing his clothes a charger pulled my arm when tied to get away, trapped me in the kitchen shouting at me, how no one gives a shit about me apart from him, I've manipulated him, tried to get me angry, saying I'm cheating on him, I'm nodoby without him, I've messed his life up, I tried to move away an go uostairs he followed me,

He moved in within weeks paid nothing, isolated me from friends if I wanted to go out he would either come with me or start an argument, he told me my family don't give a shit about me..

He told me he's going to give up work as he thinks I'm cheating!

When he left he said he was going to kill himself he won't be here tomorrow unless he has me, he then said the day after he's lost his job an has nothing without me

I tried to get my children out the house he wouldn't let me, I finally managed to get hold of his dad for him to leave, he messaged my children for money to get a taxi back

One of my sons was saying everyone gets angry I've explained this is not acceptable behaviour, he told me an the one of the boys he's going to Jill himself

The last few days I've had messges constantly how sorry he is like I said this isn't the first time but is with the boys around!

I've stood my ground an said no especially doing it infeont of my children.. I haven't blocked him as I'm scared he may turn up!

Todya I feel drained I feel so lonely I feel I've let me kids down I feel bad parent, I have no one to talk to

I'm sat on my bed in a state of anxiety, panicked sad cryinh is this normal!

He sounds bonkers, are you safe. Has he collected his belongings yet. Can you divert his messages to spam so you don't need to read them.

tp2711 · 26/01/2024 15:47

@HappyHamsters I don't know how to do that

I've spoken to his mum as he said she's gonna kick off at me I showed her a glimpse of the messages and she's fuming?

I've asked if she could get the phone off him

He know I'm supposed to be going out tonight first time in 8mths think that's why

But he literally hasn't stopped since 11pm last night not even for 5 mins

I've had a panic attack! I am
Safe but frightened he's said if I block him he's coming round, and I'll have to call. The police..

He's told me I'm not having the phone back

I'm the most vile women his met
I'm evil

It goes on and on I haven't replied only to leave me alone

His mums just messaged he's asleep

He's literally not give me 5 mins

Can you change your phone number?

HappyHamsters · 26/01/2024 15:53

Is it your phone he is using, did you buy it for him. How does he know you are going out, is he likely to cause trouble. I would let the police know, this is threatening behaviour.

HappyHamsters · 26/01/2024 15:56

I would stop using this phone, can you go and buy a cheap payg for calls and texts only. You can manage without Internet for a while or buy a sim card.

tp2711 · 26/01/2024 16:59

He knows I'm out as it was planned a few weeks back before this all started
This is why it started aswll as apparently I knew he had 2 kids an they come over on that day like I said there not mine an I need a break from mine,

So that was the start of it..

Plans have changed so he actually doesn't know where I'm going an I'm not staying at home,

I've reached out to my other friend sn she's coming tomorrow to stay with me.

I stupidly got a phone in my name for him when he smashed his when he found out the mother of his children got another boyfriend..

Another mistake..

I've put a marker in my house today

@InAPickle12345

I've bagged it all up! I don't want to take it he said he will be out but I know he won't be,

I don't want him near the house cause of the kids.

Your name in a pickle that's how I feel!

Anyone live near Bristol an want to help me..

Hi, I’m in Bristol.

sounds like you’ve got it sorted with his mum but feel free to give me a pm if needed x

annoyedatlandlord · 26/01/2024 18:08

Have a great night tonight @tp2711! Keep him muted and don’t read the messages. Leave his stuff outside in bin bags x

IncompleteSenten · 26/01/2024 18:08

Please don't wait until he shows up. You have enough evidence now that he is a danger to you. Please call them.

SingleMum11 · 26/01/2024 18:11

You need to log this incident with the police. Just call or go in and tell them what happened.

Then they have what happened on file, it’s quite important.

How much is owed on this contract?

FatFemale · 26/01/2024 18:50

Glad to read youve ditched this twat, hes abusive, controlling and nasty. Does he literally think youre gonna go “oh love, ive made a mistake, silly me, im everything youve said on text, come home and let me take care of you”. Nah let him keep spewing his hate. He will soon get bored. Keep all texts. Write down, all the shitty things that have happened in the relationship prior to this so youve got something to refer to when you wobble. He needs to grow up. Oh and every time he threatens to kill himself call the police for a welfare check, he will soon stop

DeeLusional · 26/01/2024 18:52

Report the phone stolen, EE will cancel the service. If it's in your name and he won't return, it is technically stolen.

rootsandwings89 · 27/01/2024 07:25

OP you haven't done anything wrong and none of this is your fault. DA perpetrators know exactly what they are doing and it all comes down to control - every time.

If you haven't already, pls Google "gaslighting" and "the power and control wheel" to get an understanding on tactics used and you'll be surprised how much it will ring true.

Report him and get you and your children away from him. The domestic abuse act 2021 states that children who witness domestic abuse makes them victims in their own right.

Call your local authority for advice on how to deal with leaving an abusive relationship - support and advice is out there, you just need to ask for it.

Good luck OP.
