hello, looking for wisdom and advice please. My DP was assaulted by 3 young men at 6.30am bank holiday Monday. He had just started his jog to work, it was 20 seconds from our house. He's got cuts, bruises, lumps on head, v sore ribs but okish, they chased him for 50metres shouting stab him stab him. pretty nasty.
understandably he's upset, how can i support him? everything I say is wrong at the moment, and he scoffs when I mention talking it through with a professional. He want us to sell our house and move to a different part of town, although we could do that, my feeling is his feelings will come with him so might not resolve anything and moving takes time plus we have a toddler. He feels the attack could be racially motivated, he's now suspicious and saying negative things about people of or similar to the ethnicity of the attackers. he's on edge and finds the company of our toddler too much but won't take any time off work (when toddler is at nursery). he's scared about meeting the attackers of them seeing him with me.
any advice please? anyone been through anything similar and tell me what you felt and what helped you recover?
