I need help :(

I have posted about my dh a few times now (under different names) and it is very apparent that he is abusive and every response i get says leave the bastard.

So what am i still doing here?

He really needs to be gone this time, i guess i'm scared and not sure who or where to turn to.

Last night he hit me (properly hit me) for the first time. Before that its just been pushing or pinning me down by my throat but this time he proper punched me in the head, and pinned me down by my throat so i couldn't breathe Sad

This was over nothing. Well i say nothing. He wanted sex, i wasn't feeling in the mood. I have been on a diet and was on a bit of a downer that i had put on this week, feeling a bit sorry for myself and lost a bit of confidence as you do. I told him this and his response was to get angry with me, tell me i'm being stupid and hormonal and that he's had enough of hearing this from me (to which he backtracked later and said he didn't know what to say because i'm never like that!). Obviously i got upset, i was sobbing and he just kept being horrible to me. Said he didn't know what i was moaning about as i'm fine and he was more worried about how i was making him feel and that i was annoying him Sad

I moved to the end of the bed (it was late, about 1am) to get some sleep and he came over and started shouting at me, right in my face. I told him to get out and then kicked him away from me as i didn't want him anywhere near me. Well he went mad, I've honestly never seen him like that ever. He pinned me down and wouldn't let go even though i was screaming and trying to fight him off me. If it makes it worse our 3 month old dd is in the room with us.

When he lets go i get up and go to the bathroom to calm down. Come back in and he's slagging me of left, right and centre. I didn't want him to see he had hurt me as i've tried that in the past and he doesn't care, if anything he thrives off it so i tried to be strong and act like it wasn't affecting me. Wrong move, obviously said something he didn't like and he flew at me. Pulled me onto the bed, dragged me by my hair and pushedme around. I got back up and said something else, he then flew at me again and thats when he punched me. Full on, and boy did it hurt. I got back up, just looked at him and laughed, he went for me again and this time i ran into the bathroom, locked the door and thats where i stayed.

Have had it all today, loads of texts about how sorry he is but mostly about how i made HIM feel :(

I need to leave him, i hate his guts. I really need help.

Sorry its long.

Call the police and report him. Ask for a DV advisor and you will get all the help you need to keep this man out of your life. Don't be afraid to take action against him, that's what he will be relying on. Just pick up the phone and make the call.

CogitoErgoSometimes · 08/05/2012 14:24

Absolutely call the police.

sugarice · 08/05/2012 14:27

Call the police, his behaviour isn't going to change. Please take care.

lamenamechange · 08/05/2012 14:31

He keeps saying how i am ruining his life by taking his family away from him and all the usual bullshit about how much he loves me etc Sad

I have involved the police before so i do have one time on record, will it be okay the next day though? i don't have any bruises but i've just been upstairs and noticed the bathroom door is smashed in where he tried to get at me.

What is it going to take to make you leave this man? Internal injuries, broken bones, fractured skull?

You know it'll only be a matter of time before he attacks you again.

Call the pollice now.

Olympia2012 · 08/05/2012 14:34

You need this attack on record too.... It's building a picture

Call women's aid, you will need help to leave

izzyizin · 08/05/2012 14:35

Will what be okay the next day? If by this you mean calling the police the day after the night he attacked you, that won't be of any consequence whatsoever.

Call them now and don't forget to show them his texts.

lamenamechange · 08/05/2012 14:36

I will definetly need help i know that for sure.

Call the police. Get this recorded. Next time, it might not be you in the path of his temper, but your DD. You really can't live like this, it's not living, it's torture.

izzyizin · 08/05/2012 14:37

You don't need call Women's Aid as the police will refer you to a domestic violence counseller, the majority of whom work under the auspices of Women's Aid or a similar/related service for women.

lamenamechange · 08/05/2012 14:37

he has admitted it all via text today so i don't have to worry about that. Although he has said "oh i didn't realise i actually hit you" after apologising 50 times for hitting me!

Lemonylemon · 08/05/2012 14:38

Keep all those texts and use them.....

Lueji · 08/05/2012 14:51

Yes, call the police and show them the texts.

Do you have any sore points where he grabbed you or punched you?
The bruises are likely to show in the next few days, actually, but they won't be dark purple.

You need to be safe. He could easily have killed you by accident, and god knows about the baby if that happened.

Consider changing locks now or actually leaving your home asap.

But do contact the police. He won't stop and it's the second time he has done it, at least.

lucyellensmumnamechange · 08/05/2012 14:53

Call the police, get him the fuck out of your house.. :(

Merivel · 08/05/2012 14:56

You need to go to the police immediately - you have no option - I see you involved them before , good .
If you feel you are having trouble communicating ( not surprising in the circumstances ) , tell them so ...there are staff in that area of policing with a passion for helping women be heard & safe

Babylon1 · 08/05/2012 14:58

I have the same advice as everyone else hun, you need to call the police and report this and get him the hell away from you and dc xx
