I’m in an abusive marriage. There is no violence but husband is verbally and emotionally abusive. I have a 7 week old son and he has been his way since I found out I was pregnant as he didn’t want me to have the baby. Things improved slightly when baby was born but are going back to how they were. Examples of what he does are regularly shouting at me calling me a fat cunt, smashing my things and damaging furniture, occasionally he has spat at me, withholding his financial contribution. Long term I know this is over but my question is if I call the police now will they do anything or do I have to go down the civil route. I can’t leave the house with baby and his things (my family don’t live nearby) and I don’t see why I should.
I’m sat downstairs now debating what to do. He is upstairs. Before going up he just went in one of his rages, shouted fat cunt at me several times, knocked a table over, punched the wall, spat at the tv and called our son a fucker, told me to get out of his face for my own safety. He’s upstairs now and calm but this will happen again. If I call the police I expect they will remove him but will they then release him without bail? I’m not scared of him at the moment but if the police get involved he will hurt me I’m sure.
