He made me eat paper

Cantspellbutimmagic · 28/06/2018 03:02

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 ?

I'm glad you've spoken to someone. That's a good first step!

BlueEyedBengal · 18/07/2018 18:44

Get in touch with women's aid, he can't take your children he is intimidating you into submission don't allow that. W a can get you and your children out of this dangerous situation. He could have killed you making you eat paper they can get you legal advice and house you with your children. I think he has done so much more to you and if he can do this to the mother of his children what's next? Your children maybe, don't give him that chance. Get your children to safety now but don't let him suspect anything. I wish you wellThanks

Of course you're scared, vile things are being done to you. You probably feel a bit paralysed at this stage and are focusing on what could go wrong. We understand that. I worried that my ex would kill my children, I spent years obsessively reading every report on parental child killers. But you know what, in the end, I realised the life I was living was bad enough to take the chance. Ex has been a pain in the arse and made things difficult but I have stuck to my guns and it has not been half as bad as I imagined - and twice as good as I imagined to be free!

Beebiesandcheebies · 18/07/2018 21:36

Remember YOU are in control of YOU and YOUR own body.
Stay strong. I know your scared but the police are there to help people just like you.

Lisaloolops · 20/07/2018 19:25

Are you ok OP?

Cantspellbutimmagic · 24/07/2018 21:28

I’m just living a nightmare
I don’t have much free time or time alone

And For example
Tonight he took the rubbish out and split the bag full of gross rubbish everywhere
He said it was my fault then insisted I get on my knees and clean it ( with nothing) while he stood over me telling me what to do . Calling me all the names under the sun.
He then walked off saying I’ll pay for this
And he’s already doing somthing
Wouldn’t tell me what
But he said I’ll never see the kids again

He’s a respected member of society and I’m a no one

Have you contacted the Police?

I am sure they would be able to advise and protect you and the kids.

Lynne1Cat · 24/07/2018 21:42

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you in an arranged marriage?

MonoClue · 24/07/2018 21:46

You are someone! You’re the most important person in your children’s lives.
He’s nothing.
Please OP you need to get yourself and your children as far away from this man as possible. Phone the police on 999 and ask for help. If you press 5 after dialling it goes through as a silent emergency, so he won’t hear you speaking but the police will get you away from him

Doingreat · 24/07/2018 21:47

Op. Please call the police and tell them he has been violent to you in the past (forcing you to eat paper) and you fear he would turn violent now as he is getting very angry tonight and verbally abusing you.

He is committing a crime against you by being abusive. He's breaking the law. The police WILL take you seriously. They WILL protect you. They WILL give you help to escape him.

Please don't suffer like this. Everyone who has posted on your thread cares about you. We want you to be safe.

Please get yourself and your kids away form this abusive man!!

Doingreat · 24/07/2018 21:50

Or do as monoclue said and dial police as a silent emergency if you fear he will hear you.

I know it's scary calling the police. Many of us have had to against violent partners. They have a duty of care to you. They will do their best to help.

Please stay safe OP. Thinkingof you. Xx

naebotherpal · 24/07/2018 21:50

I have no advice, other than what’s been said, but you’re not a no-one. You’re a human being, worthy of love and respect and kindness. Look, people on here are giving you that without even having met you. Someone in real life will do the same.

He’s thoroughly disgusting and barely human by the sounds of it.

MadeForThis · 24/07/2018 21:53

He sounds dangerous. Please stay safe. If you trust anyone in real life please ask for help.

sparklepops123 · 24/07/2018 21:53

He's not a respected person, he thinks that. Nobody else. You need to walk into a police station or dial 999 NOW.stop stalling

AcrossthePond55 · 24/07/2018 21:56

^And he’s already doing somthing
Wouldn’t tell me what
But he said I’ll never see the kids again^

Then, love, you have nothing to lose by packing the children up and going to the police or a woman's shelter, do you? Really give it some thought.

I'd like to put a bullet through his fucking brain.

Doingreat · 24/07/2018 21:57

Op the police couldn't care less whether he's a respected pillar of the community.
They only care about the law and enforcing it. He is breaking the law by abusing you. He's a criminal to them. Nothing more.

You deserve to be rescued and kept safe far far away from him. This is why we pay taxes in this country. So that our most vulnerable members can access help when they need it. You need help right now. Use all the help you can get. Call the police please. Xx

AgathaF · 24/07/2018 21:57

His abuse is escalating. He is dangerous. Please, please call the police and tell them about this. You need support, help and protection.

user764329056 · 24/07/2018 21:58

Are you in the UK?

BakedBeans47 · 24/07/2018 22:00

Come on OP. Be strong and get some help. He’s talking crap. You can’t have your children continuing to witness their mother being abused.

Fuzzywig · 24/07/2018 22:07

^And he’s already doing somthing
Wouldn’t tell me what
But he said I’ll never see the kids again^

What do you think he is planning? Take the kids out of the country so you never see them again? Or to hurt or kill you?

As others have said this man is dangerous and he is getting worse. Your kids see this and the only other adults who see what he is doing can’t or won’t stop him. You have been browbeaten into thinking you are worthless you are not, to your kids you are everything and the only person in this whole wide world who can get them away from this man to safety, nobody will be able to do this if you are ‘disappeared’.

Please... if you are in the UK ring the Police and get help now before it’s too late.

robindeer · 24/07/2018 22:09

Men like this do not change. They see what they get away with and become more abusive, more violent, more extreme.

OP your life is in danger. Your children are in danger. Please. Please leave.

He cannot take your children away from you but he can hurt them. Get out. Go to a shelter. Take your children and tell the police.

You will be safe. You will be protected.

Please get your children and yourself out of there and away from this absolute monster.

Abitlost2015 · 24/07/2018 22:13

OP I hope you find a way to get out of his control. Is there one person in real life you can confide in?

sparklepops123 · 24/07/2018 22:15

Be brave - post your address here - we will call the police for you

naebotherpal · 24/07/2018 22:18

Can you email this thread to your district police force, and include your address?

Mummymummums · 24/07/2018 22:19

You need to get out. I've not read all of this, but please protect yourself and the children - they shouldn't grow up witnessing this and normalising this.
And a word of warning. Men like this could be using software to check what you do on line and what you type. Key stroke logging. I'm not trying to scare you more, but if his behaviour is escalating he could be aware of this or of you seeking advice. By far the safest option is to get out now. There are hostels and charities the police could refer you to, or try Women's Aid https://www.womensaid.org.uk/information-support/helpline/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwnNvaBRCmARIsAOfZq-0zNtpFV9Qh-RNN5I9GK38ZjgofYxQ3IwZb93FfKw25ypH9f1WxywaAtIZEALww_wcB
Verbal abuse, controlling behaviour, etc all now come under the definition of domestic violence nowadays.
