yesterday, he promised he would put his dog back in his bed downstairs, as his dog has been sleeping in our bed (!!!) which he knows I really dislike, he wakes me up with his scratching and such.
So I was like phew finally I'll get a good night's sleep with the dog back downstairs.
It gets to bed time, he starts saying he doesn't know what I'm talking aboiut and of course the dogs coming it. I managed to get the bedroom door key and locked it from the inside, leaving him and the dog outside, (and me and our baby inside, whom I have next to me because I breastfeed).
He starts banging on the door, I said I'll let him in if he promises to take his dog downstairs, but he won't. He pretends he has no recollection of him agreeing to earlier in the day.
So he starts kicking the door in and shouting that I'm being 'a psycho' because I'm not letting him go to bed.
Then hesaid well he's going to sleep in my 4 yo son's room, so he went into his bedroom and shouted 'come on get up' and kept clapping and said 'you have to sleep on the landing, because mummy wont let me in my bed'.
My son (who's got special needs as it is, with his emotional, language, behavioural development) wakes up crying and crying saying 'i'm sorry, i'm sorry mummy'.
Then my partner says 'see look what you did' to me.
I was in shock for a minute then got up and found my partner comforting our 4 year old and stroking his head back to sleep.
But I was so angry at DP when he came out I grabbed his hair and twisted it and said that he's a sick fuck for doing that to my son, and he's lucky that's all I did, I wanted to hurt him a lot more for upsetting my son.
I said I'm leaving you tomorrow.
Tomorrow is here and he just got up and asked me to watch the kids while he showers, which I'm doing of course, then he goes 'what's up?'
I said nothing, he goes 'fine fuck ya then'.
Can't take another day of this. :(

No crystal your not, i would not be in by the time he gets back, which he will come back even more angry as OP hasnt ran after him! :(

TidyDancer · 19/03/2011 11:07

Fuck. I missed the part about the gun. Call the police now. Don't even think twice. What if he returns with the weapon and he's decided it's not his brains he wants to blow out? Sorry to be blunt, but it's not worth the risk.

soblackandwhite · 19/03/2011 11:08

Call the police

MainlyMaynie · 19/03/2011 11:09

Leave now while he is out. Kick in the bedroom door, that's a clear attempt to trap you there. And call the police and let them know he has gone off with his gun threatening suicide. People that angry and unstable are not safe with guns.

Bogeyface · 19/03/2011 11:09

This really is a 999 situation.

A mentally disturbed man (because thats what he is) has left the house, with a gun. He has locked you away from your possessions and clothes so you cant leave the house.

Who knows what mood he will come back in, especially as you didnt run after him as he was clearly expecting.

Sod the repercussions, sod his family.

Call 999 now to get yourself and your children out of this situation before you end up in an even worse state than you are now.

CornishMade · 19/03/2011 11:10

I felt sick reading your OP - how can he be so cruel to your son? You cannot let this continue for years and years and you know it - the damage to ds would be far, far worse than having to move out and change nurseries etc. And your dcs are far, far more important than your puppy... He will find a nice new home. Please seek all the help you can and do what you have to do to get away for your dcs' sake. This is a cruel heartless man and his suicide threat is pure manipulation.
You said you hate him. That's not a relationship.

soblackandwhite · 19/03/2011 11:10

If he wakes a sleeping child to get back at you for a locked door, what might happen when he gets back with his gun and finds a locked door ?

Get out if it is safe and immediate with the kids
if not safe CALL THE POLICE

GypsyMoth · 19/03/2011 11:11

Op....... Do you have a phone ? ( my ex hid them)

soblackandwhite · 19/03/2011 11:13

if no phone tell us your number we will phone

ledkr · 19/03/2011 11:15

am sat next to a copper (dh) he said to call police IMMEDIATELY

valleyqueen · 19/03/2011 11:16

Listen to what people are saying and call the police.

Crystaldolphin · 19/03/2011 11:18

OP my ex used to shove me around and threaten to slit my throat. This was normal to me so I didn't react greatly to it. Has this all become normalised to you? As it will do in an abusive relationship. It was only outsiders telling me how bad it was that made me realise. You and your children are in a dangerous abnormal situation, no matter how sure you are that he wouldn't really do anything with the gun. He has threatened to kill himself, when he comes back and you have not changed your stance this could very easily escalate, I am not saying anything dreadful is going to happen but I would not be risking it.

TysonNobdie86 · 19/03/2011 11:20

Hopefully no answers mean she is listening to people.

GypsyMoth · 19/03/2011 11:22

Hope so Tyson!!!

soblackandwhite · 19/03/2011 11:23

I am seriously not one to panic but am very worried he may attack the children.
Stay calm, have the kids with you and call the police.

TakeItOnTheChins · 19/03/2011 11:24

Oh FFS.

Your arsehole of a husband has got a gun, has locked you out of your own bedroom, and you're hesitating about calling the Police? Are you stupid?

Unless you want him to come back and shoot you and your kids (he certainly won't shoot himself first, worse luck) stop fannying around and CALL THE POLICE NOW.

Shakirasma · 19/03/2011 11:26

I too am very worried about him harming the children. He has already used the kids in a terrible way to get at the op during the past 24 hours. He sounds unhinged.

soblackandwhite · 19/03/2011 11:28

forget any stuff and belongings this is too serious for that

phone 999
get out if he far away

colditz · 19/03/2011 11:44

get out now.

go as far as you can possibly go. Pick a ind passerby, explain your husband has gone fucking mental and will they please call 999.

He is very dangerous right now. this is the behavior that precedes murders.

get out get out get out.

FriggFRIGG · 19/03/2011 11:51

as i said before LEAVE NOW!

AND CALL THE POLICE!!

AS colditz said

He is very dangerous right now. this is the behavior that precedes murders.

Dropdeadfred · 19/03/2011 11:51

I hope she's taking the bedroom door handle of rght now

grandparentsnow · 19/03/2011 11:53

I've counselled enough women like you over the years to know that you always hope/think/believe things will change; that there'll be more of the 'nice' daytime behaviour and less of the threatening, manipulating, blackmailing stuff. But there won't. He won't change and if you stay you risk real harm - emotional and physical - to yourself and your children. Do as everyone else says and find a safe place to go.

FriggFRIGG · 19/03/2011 11:56

i getting worried.

let us know you are okay OP....
