Husband threw something at my head

[WhatToDo123abc]

My husband just threw a toy at my face while I was holding our toddler. Should I call the police?

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.

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

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.

How are things this morning?

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

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

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.

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

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.

Hope you’re ok op.
