Not safe for anyone to be left in the company of this man tonight - please phone the police.

tigermoth · 20/07/2008 07:12

You must talk to your mother asap, when he is not in listening distance. She and you have to talk freely about what is going on with this man and how safe your mother is living with him.

It's awful he strangled you - doubly awful as you're just recovering from car crash injuries and he knew that.

nannyL · 20/07/2008 12:25

Just to add

I have a HUGE bruise on my arm from where he pushed me and i have been to the police and made a statement against him etc.

Well done, nannyL.
I hope the police deal with him promptly.

Beetroot · 20/07/2008 12:36

he strangled you inbetween our first post and your subsequent revelation about the strangling?

nannyL · 20/07/2008 12:56

yes that is correct beetroot

And your mum is still holding onto the relationship with him? I don't know what I would do tbh. I don't think I would visit her in her home anymore, at least not without other people accompanying me.

Would she come to your home instead/meet you somewhere?

BetteNoire · 20/07/2008 13:11

Is your mother still there with him - the man that attempted to strangle her daughter?
Have the police arrested him?

slim22 · 20/07/2008 13:16

why did you fall out in the first place?

Do you feel your mum is safe? How did she react

DeeRiguer · 20/07/2008 13:21

nannyL
that is horrific am glad you have gone to authorities etc..
how stoic of you to carry on for your mum's party but i truly wish she had thrown him out (from upstair window pref..)
i dont think i would go near anyone who did that...
what a truly awful wanker to have the displeasure to come across and have in your family i cant imagine
strength to you, good luck

mrsruffallo · 20/07/2008 13:36

Very rude. Embarassingly so.

mrsruffallo · 20/07/2008 13:39

Sorry only read op.
What is your mother's take on all of this?

donnie · 20/07/2008 13:43

Good God - he tried to strangle you? the man is a violent freak. Your mother should get the hell out - or rather, he should be arrested pdq.

beanieb · 20/07/2008 13:44

what exactly happened to make him strangle you? Was your mum in the room and how did she react?

Are you harbouring some resentment against him for being with your mum?

dingdong05 · 20/07/2008 13:53

wtf?????!!!

Beetroot · 20/07/2008 13:54

were you posting formyour mums then or did you go and come back

Minkychunky · 20/07/2008 13:57

Kill him with kindness I say. Bake him a cake.

He is rude BT (my FIL does this too, choosing to say hello to the dog- who is normally right next to me- then walking off)

mrsruffallo · 20/07/2008 13:59

I am guessing Minky only read the OP!!

slim22 · 20/07/2008 14:00

cake laced with arsenic?

Minkychunky · 20/07/2008 14:07

MR

YOu are right

I am certainly getting a reputation for posting very unhelpful and inappropriate suggestions/comments.

I THOUGHT IT WAS (oops) a poll.

yes, maybe I am wrong.

What a monster, Keep in touch with your mum, but let her come to you, if you don't get on fine, but if he thinks anything about your mum he would at least be civil for her sake.Make sure she knows she can come to you if he gets out of hand with her.
