My husband just strangled me in front of our kids!

[Ladymess]

Hello. I don't know where to turn but I'm so fed up being treated like this. He insults me with every word in the book and when we bicker back and fourth it always end up with him getting so mad and threatning to kill me. Always. Today he got so mad at me when I said that I'm tired of his threats and and I said don't ever touch me again or else.. (I know that wasn't right to say i was just so tired of the abuse) Then he jumped me and strangled me down to the floor while our boys 3 and 4 years old were screaming at him.

This is not the first time he had strangled me, this is the third time and I can feel my neck burning. I don't know what to do? I wanna leave but I'm so scared! And I dont have a job right now. I think he is probably going to kill me someday if I stay, cause he can't control his anger.

I don't know what happened, we were so happy before :(

Please sorry if the English is bad, English is not my first language.

Oh right I'm relatively new here so didn't realise people done that about these types of threads.

Calm down @WorkingMumOnTheGo

There's no emergency that is ever helped by shouting and swearing and, besides, OP hasn't posted for hours.

Hope you are ok OP. Please let us know if you can. Where are your family? Have you got passports for you and the kids? Go on “holiday” for a visit and never come back.

I hope you have taken the advice and have contacted the police. You must not go back, if you’ve managed to get out of the house, whatever he promises. Ignore any excuses he comes up with.

Does it occur to people that the reason OP isn't posting may well be that she did indeed contact the police and has been rather busy subsequently?

I really hope you have got some help from somewhere and are safe now op.

You poor woman, thinking of you and your children and hope you have found safety

Strangulation and/or choking is a huge, huge red flag in domestic abuse situations. If it has gotten to that stage, you are at serious and immediate risk.

Please, please call the police. For your little ones if not for yourself. Your children should never, ever have to witness something like that.

Really hope you and the children are ok x

I really hope you're ok, OP. And that you've got yourself and your children somewhere safe now.
