To be threatened and beaten

We have 3 DC 2 under 5, so excited on Christmas morning, I woke to demands to see gift receipts or divorce, I cleaned, cooked all day why mil took all out before lunch for 2 hours, then we sat down to eat, afterwards I was looking forward to family games but MIL and my dr spent the afternoon clearing out our kitchen cupboard shutting out me and our DCs. The next few days I've had constant divorce threats and now this morning had my head banged multiple times against our bed board, punched and scratched in the face all for complaining how Christmas could've been better and asking all the threats please stop, the attack was in front of my DS who's only 4. I've been at the end of my tether knowing how much effort I've been trying while my DH worked leaving all the children with me, then left alone all last weekend while the kids were removed overnight to my MIL. happy new year, I'm worried about it all starting again or removal of kids this evening.

I'm so so sorry that you're going through this OP.

But I am completely shocked at how he did this in front of your four year old and you haven't acted immediately to remove yourself and your DS from this situation.

Please please please leave right now if not for your sake then for your son. What do you think he would prefer growing up? A nice house or not having to witness his mother get beaten up?? You need to leave NOW.

This situation is now in crisis, Alwayslast. Where are you now? What is happening now?

I believe you should be calling the police on 101 and asking for the domestic violence person.Your children are being abducted regularly by mil and your H is despicably vile and violent. You really need to be out of there asap, with a view to returning when he has been removed one way or another.

Are you ready for this? Because I can't see your sanity lasting much longer as this not only carries on but gets worse and worse. If that's possible. It sounds like Hell already.

Op, I've just read this read. Are you ok at the moment, I'm worried you haven't been back.

Deserttrek · 31/12/2014 18:06

Call the police.
Make plans to leave.

ArabellaStrange · 31/12/2014 18:11

Do you have any idea how terrified your four year old will be from having witnessed that?
Do you have any idea how scarred that might leave him?
Call the police and start the process of showing your son that people have no right to treat each other in that manner.

Waltermittythesequel · 31/12/2014 18:14

Where are you, Always?

Are you safe?

AskBasil4StuffingRecipe · 31/12/2014 18:15

Please call the police and get this man removed from your home and his violence against you documented.

You will be much better off without him.

SilenceOfTheSAHMs · 31/12/2014 22:42

OP come back and let us know you are ok. I'm hoping your absence signifies that you have or are taking steps to leave Thanks
