Last night, I had to bite someone to get them to let me and my phone go, and get out of my house

I'm only saying because it is on my mind and won't move. I'm ok, proud of myself for keeping it together while it was happening, and getting him out, but, i dunno, now it just feels weird.

Could only happen to you!

Sounds like a really reallly scary situation, have you thought about reporting them to the police?

Blimey, that sounds awful. Are you alright?

It was someone I knew yes. They are one of those people that are charming when sober, but fucking scary when drunk.

I did think about reporting it, but i'm sure they have better things to do.

I was trying to call the police when he grabbed my hand/phone. He refused to let go, so i bit him, hard.

You can definitely be proud of yourself for doing what you needed to protect yourself.

Of course it's on your mind: it's an unusual and unsettling situation, of the kind we tend to think "shouldn't happen to us".

But it did, and you were able to deal with a frightening and confusing situation in the spur of the moment. Well done.

I'm ok, and thank you for asking

I just feel a bit like a really shit judge of character tbh.

Makes you wonder what else he has done when drunk though to someone with less presence of mind...

My kids were asleep upstairs, so doing nothing wasn't an option. He wouldnt have hurt them, but i didnt want them waking up either.

He is full of apologies today, but i have told him that i am saving any future contact from him to show the police, and i will if needed.

That is exactly what i thoght Randomness. My ex was an arsehole, so I was quite capable of standing up for myself, but others wouodn't have been.

It's really really scary, I would speak to the police just so they have it on record that he's been threatening before.
