Hi I dont want to sound harsh but GET OUT NOW. My sister in law has been involved with a number of men with violent tendancies and started off at pretty much the same place as you. If a man will hit you once he will hit you again. My sister in law has become a victim, dont let this happen to you. You are way past relate you need to talk to womens aid or at least a solicitor to get this man out of your house. My nephew has been witness to many incidents that a child shouldnt see and has recently been taken into care because the violence esculated and he do was battered. I know you are probably thinking this could never happen to me as my sister in law did. My advice is dont let it get that far that you are so intimidated that you cant even protect your kids. Im sorry if this sounds harsh , I wish you all the luck in the world.

I'm sure that if it came to it, you'd think of someone who'd help you out, Uknowme. Hope Wednesday goes OK.

Uknowme, when I read my story from the other night. I shuddered. I had almost forgotten it happened. (Have never written it down before)

For you, it may not happen again in the near future, but I do think that it will happen again. However, the more people tell you to leave, the more you will stay. You will even go against friends/family to be with this man. I would just like to say that I understand and if you ever want to talk please contact me.

Don't stand for it - he's trying to control you in any way he can. All I can say is get out and sort things out from there. It reminds me of my situation with DH so much!!

saintshar · 18/11/2003 23:03

He doesn't want to hit you again, because he knows you will probably just up and leave, so he is trying to find some other way of bullying you.
He is probably trying to 'get you back' for going out for 12 hours the other night......and the looming appointement.

Sending you love and strength today uknowme. Be strong xxxxx

Apply for a credit card in your own name, if you can, it is possible even if you don't work, they will go on your partners salary and no they do not need his permission/signature.

You need to take control over your own life and do not let him dictate the rules, he is trying to bully you.

Will be thinking about you all day.
