Supposed to be getting married in 10 days

[PixieMiss]

I thought after a number of shite years I had found some happiness but no, of course not.

He just punched me while our 6 month old was watching in his Baby Bjorn. I can't stop crying

Don't know why I'm posting. I just don't want to be alone.

Hi Pixie! Hope all goes well with 101. My experience with the police was really good, they had a great DV unit and do the freedom programme when you're feeling stronger. It makes sense of so much. Be totally honest with the police & stress the need for yourself & your DC to be safe.

For what it's worth, Pixie, I'm really really proud of you and what you've done. You've got a lot of support and remember that when times get tough.

Stay strong Pixie - you absolutely can do this. Agree with the advice you have been given - don't give him the opportunity to hit you again. He has shown his true colours.

You and your DS should be your priority now. BTW my DD fell off the bed at 9 months too - she rolled over while I was distracted. Her fall was broken by a bulky nappy. I felt awful but DH was very philosophical about it. She was fine. These things just happen.

Mine rolled off the bed too.

Everyone else is right.

Well done and stay strong

How are you today?

Pixie

I am not surprised you're feeling rough ((gentle hug & )

I can promise you that your life will be immeasurably better without him in it, but these early days and weeks are shit.

When I left my ex because of his violence my "D"F said of me..."well she is quite difficult to live with" I'm not difficult to live with (although I'm not sure my DH would always agree with me), but my F is used to my DM fawning about - I'm nothing like her. I can understand how hurtful it is for your family to be lacking in empathy.

You're going to go through a whole range of emotions, be angry, stay angry for a little while, and remember that the most important thing is that you and your DS will be golden without him. He is a weak, weak man. He is nothing but a coward, a bully and a twatting wankbadger.

Well done and sending lots of strength your way. I honestly think you should keep your mum at a distance. That's not something I usually say to anyone, because I value family - but your mum doesn't have your best interest at heart.

What a great mum you are, well done. You have put you and your child's safety before your partner's angry feelings. Wishing you well. You are a tower of promise - an amazing life awaits. Take courage & seize this chance.
