He made me eat paper

[Cantspellbutimmagic]

I’m stuck in my situation
I know I can’t get out but it helps to write

Tonight after 3 days non stop verbal abuse or complete silence towards me
My husband found some pictures I drew of how I felt ( sad faces ect )

That day - he called his parents to our table
He said I had to explain myself and the images

I said it’s just how I feel , I draw sad things when I’m sad

He called the kids to watch and He said You have two options

Eat your drawings now or I will devorse you and take it all

I said no I won’t ?!? Why would you even suggest such things

After arguing about this for a while and refusing , his mum started pleading with me to eat the paper

After sometime he held me against the wall and shoved it all in my mouth then pushed me in the floor in front of our family

I can’t belive I was made to eat paper I’m so upset this has happened to me . And they saw

Has anyone ever heard of this before ?

OP please follow the advice here, speak to woman's aid, lawyers etc. and take your children to safety

No one will give this abusive man your children.

You have to be strong, contact the poster who has offered you help and save all of your lives.

Is the OP in the UK or Ireland though ?
If not, accessing help may be more difficult.

OP said a few pages back she was in & from the U.K., her ‘husband’ though is not from the U.K.

I thought she said she was from the UK but hasn’t clarified where she is currently living.

Apologies, I was getting mixed up. I've asked for my post to be deleted.

Don’t worry about it.

for OP - hope you’re hanging in there.

you need to get out op we r all here for you xxx

OP how are you? Hoping your safe

Please, please leave.

If you tell someone - anyone in any form of authority like a doctor - then he will not get to take the children. The translator is a witness - please believe me he will not get the children and most likely will have restricted/no contact with them at all so he cannot further abuse them or you.

message the pp who offered the legal advice - but please leave. This is so appallingly bad I honestly have no words.

OP does appear to be in the UK as earlier she posted saying she will call WA. I don't know why I thought she wasn't. My apologies!

Her other thread indicates that he has threatened to kill her if she leaves. I assume that's why she feels so trapped.

Her H appears to have the house under CCTV so I assume that means he is watching her at times during the day, which might make it hard to gather things and leave without him seeing her packing. It probably means that it's also very hard for her to make a phone call unobserved or to delete phone calls since he'd know the times she's made calls and probably checks her call log.

OP, could you gather some things for you and DC in a laundry bag making it appear to be dirty clothes to take to a laundromat and then leave and go to the police or a shelter? Or wash them and then take them off the clothesline put them in a basket?

If nothing else, try to keep track of the times when you are alone and unobserved. Maybe you'll see a pattern. If so, you can try to time your escape for one of those times.

I have been watching this thread hoping to hear good news. I wish I could help in some way. If you lived near me (Cardiff) I would come and help you in a heartbeat. Your putrid scum of a husband doesn't deserve you or your children. If there is anything we can do to help, please let us know.x.x

Does the OP have another thread then?

Op I'm so worried about you! Do you leave the house without him at all?

Are you able to go out by yourself with the children? If so go out and walk straight into a police station. You HAVE to do this, if not for yourself then for your children 💐

I hope you're out of there soon, OP.

Coercive control is against the law OP. You can go to the police.

I was with someone abusive, I left, it's hard but you can do it. They are thieves. He is stealing your life and your kids.

Please leave. X

If you have access to a phone why don't you "report " your situation to the police. They will come round and remove you and the children to help

Great advice on here
Please do listen to the many people on here who want to help

Can you email police station
Or support workers at WA for them to put support in place for you??

Please try

Because it’s not that easy
And I’m scared

I have contacted ppl to give me advice how’s best to sort my situation

Of course you're scared sweetie, you are in a terrifying situation. If you could tell us where in the country you are I'm sure there would soon be a Mumsnet army willing to come to rescue you or at least get you help in your area. Help could come to you right where you are if you let someone call the police for you x

OP - your post makes me want to cry. If you can go on MN you can tell somebody on here where you are and we can help. Can't we??????

It’s normal to be scared, you’re in a very frightening situation. But you can get out of it, I promise.

Do you have any family you can tell?

You're scared because you are emotionally attached. We are not. You have a strength of women behind you that will help you, but you have to let us. Where in the uk are you? Or could you pretend one of the dc needs a doctors appointment and confide in the gp ?they will help you
