Ok, i'm in bed. Tonight my husband hit me in the cheek (not too hard) and kicked me in the leg, hard enough for me to still feel it now. It will leave a bruise. He's not done this before but has been verbally aggressive towards me frequently, including shouting at me in front of the kids. Tonight's show was because we were having friends around and the house was a bit untidy. He said he was stressed.
He's got 4 anger management books in his beside table. He knows he has a problem. He's apologised for tonight. We still had our friends round as if nothing has happened. It's effing Christmas, I need to be there for the kids ( 2 and 4). I don't want this to continue. What do I do????? Please help. In tears now, know he will come up soon saying sorry, know he doesn't want to be like this but don't know how to handle this now.
