"D"H exploded last night in front of the children over something really stupid (DDs) phone going off when we were sleeping.
He slammed doors and shouted at the children making them all scream and cry, I jumped up to defend them, told him he can't slam doors and talk to them like that. I got in between him and the bedroom door frame and he pulled me out of the way.
He was up in my face sneering at me, he called me all sorts of names and threatened to push me down the stairs, he was yelling at the top of his voice and I was telling him he had to go down stairs at least so I could settle the DC.
Eventually he did but only after yet more name calling with a look of disgust on his face.
I settled the youngest easily (told her it was a bad dream) and eldest came in with me and it all calmed down.
Next thing I know there are 2 policeman at the door, someone had heard him and called 999.
They wanted to arrest him but as it's not happened before and I'm still not sure why he did it I told them he didn't hurt me and I didn't tell them about him threatening me. They said they would log it as a disturbance after completing a DV log sheet.
He messaged our daughter this morning after leaving for work and asked if she called the police. We didn't reply.
I messaged him and told him to find somewhere to stay, we need time apart he replied no and then asked if I was throwing him out over a stupid call on our DDS phone.
I haven't replied and I've left my mobile at home, he keeps calling my work phone.
Please tell me I'm not making too much of this, I feel like I can't make a choice of what to do from now but I know he can't be happy and I've not been happy for a while either but never expected anything like this, he hates me.

Someone called the police for DV

I'm not saying you should tell your employer, but it's his shame not yours,regarding thinking you have to keep it a secret 
I'm living on fresh air fohamy I'm trying not to think about it and put the stock to good use. What documents do I need to colect.
Weirdly his payslips are missing from June 15 to last months, we always keep them in the same place. I will have to look online.
I've told another friend so that's 3 for me and I've let the DC speak to their friends and told them it's not our shame to keep.
Just trying to settle them to sleep. Thank you for today it really has helped and I was so nervous of posting
One day at a time, one thing at a time. One foot in front of the other.
You're doing amazingly. It's always such a shocking thing but you're doing everything right. Well done on telling people too and telling DC they are allowed to talk about it. You're fab
Not really got anything practical to add Dragons, my heart breaks for what you and your lovely daughters are going through, you deserve so much better than this.
I think you're doing remarkably well, I guess you'll have some dark days ahead as you husband starts to realise how badly he's fucked up. Always remember you're doing this for your daughters (and yourself obviously) and you'll al come out of this stronger and happier because of it.
Good luck, I think you're doing brilliantly
You are doing really well, try to keep being brave, you are doing the right thing. I don't know how to link to another post, but if you advance search my user name, a couple of weeks ago I did a post for someone else with safety planning tips, might be worth a read
If you work in HR, is there someone there you can trust to explain? Good HR can be fantastic, but only you will know whether to trust someone.
Call 101 - you can call anytime and they give calls a priority - ask if the DV unit people can come and see you tomorrow re safety, support and signposting on to further support.
Also it might be worth phoning SS yourself to see what they can do to help. Again they are there to help and support, not to cause further problems and it is very likely the police will have passed your details on given that DCs witnessed DV.
Another thing to do is get a telephone appointment with your GP. You can be off work for several days without a certificate but if you need more time, GP can give you a certificate and if you explain they can be vague. You can cal WA anytime and again they have useful advice for your area and if you are lucky there may be enough support workers to visit you.
The more advice and support you have the better prepared you will be in knowing how to move forward and deal with benefits and whatever else helps.
Do you have any idea who called the police? Again, you may find that whoever did will be a good neighbour to you and the DCs. The police will know but whether they can tell you will depend.
And remember there is no shame in having been a victim of DV. Anything awful is due entirely to your H's appalling behaviour.
Try to get some sleep but don't push yourself as regards work
X post but thank you Dun can I have your username please? 
You really are doing so well Dragon
The most important thing here is you have stood up for your dd's and have set a clear example of what they should not tolerate.
I like that you have told them it's not their shame to bear, that's really good advice.
Just take it one step at a time, remember you are doing the best thing for your girls and yourself. X
