Assaulted by DH and I don't know what to do

I'm 25 wks pg and having a very difficult time emotionally and hormonally. Yesterday, DH and I got into an argument. I stormed out of the room, slamming the door and started downstairs. He came after me and grabbed me and dragged me back upstairs, across the landing and into the bedroom. I was scratching at him and shouting at him to let go, but he threw me on the bed. I managed to get a few strategic kicks in and when I screamed at him...for f@@@@s sake I'm pregnant..he came to his senses and let go. I ran downstairs and collapsed in a heap on the kitchen floor. He disappeared out of the house for 20 minutes and when he came back in, all he could say was sorry he didn't know what came over him. He didn't even ask if I was OK or of the baby was OK. Not really spoken to him since then as he took DS out for the day, other than to keep things semi-normal for our DS (who must have heard all the commotion but is saying nothing). Thankfully he works away through the week so I won't see him now till Friday. Have done some damage to my ligaments and have spent a very uncomfortable 24 hours, but doc says bub is fine. I don't know what to do. All my family are miles away and 'our' friends are really his friends since I only moved here 18 months ago so don't feel like I've got anyone to turn to. I couldn't even be in the same room as him last night, and told him he better not try to come to our bed. He tried to talk to me several times, but I don't know what he wants me to say...i just keep on reliving it and it's horrible.

freefalling, just a thought, but i'd keep all documents that reference this in a safe place, preferably not in your house. and if you can write down what happened now and take photos of any bruises etc. just in case. horrible i know, but, just in case...

FF > you do have the option of NOT giving him another chance to hit you and possibly cause you to lose the baby. just be careful...just because he is sorry, DOES NOT mean he wont do it again. abuse is rarely a one-off.

just be careful, and have someplace you can go to if you need to leave quickly, if it happens again.
