I've just called the police on my ex. He was at my house to collect the kids, they were messing round, I was trying to get them ready. He started to get very angry that they werent ready to go (I know they should have been but they were five minutes away from being ready when he arrived and he is so often late that I wasnt expecting him to be on time).
He started to get verbally abusive, calling me a lazy bitch etc. I asked him to leave and wait outside until they were ready. He refused. I opened the door and he grabbed my arm and pushed me away from it and slammed it. At that point he started to get really angry and shout properly. I got my phone and told him that I would call the police if he didnt go. He didnt so I called them.
The police turned up as he was leaving. I felt pretty stupid explaining the situation as nothing had really happened, but I know when he gets like that it usually ends up with me pinned up against the wall and him screaming at me.
after the police left he spent about half an hour trying to get me to come out and talk to him and he has sent some horrible texts but he's gone now with the children. I don't know why but I feel so guilty. I suppose I just want some reassurance that I havent done the wrong thing. I'm going to have to sort out new contact arrangements now and i feel like I've made a lot of uneccesary trouble for everyone.
