reported the piece of scum

drove to the police station multiple times over the past 4-5 months
chickened out
felt bad for him
felt maybe I did bring some of it on myself

the other night - he got an unexpected opportunity to shout at me
my reaction - I wee'd myself - not very nice
so - next day went to the police station
two very lovely female officers took my statement
was petrified but it had to be done
and for the first time ever - i told someone that he had raped me multiple times

who knows what will happen to him
he tried to kill his ex wife and got a caution
this time?
who knows - bit of a telling off? community service?

I will keep you all updated
some amazing people on here helped me in my darkest hour

Im in a dark place now but I know what i did was necessary or I would never be able to forgive myself for brushing it under the carpet

thinking of all those who are too afraid to speak up - please do
it took me 21 months but I did it and so can you

Well done speaking up, you did the right thing. Stay strong, you're stronger than he is!!!

Optimist1 · 15/09/2018 16:37

Flowers for your bravery, OP Absolutely the right thing to do for you, for him and for any other unfortunate woman he may come into contact with.

MrsMozart · 15/09/2018 16:38

A handhold from me lass.

looondonn · 15/09/2018 16:39

i pictured opening a newspaper one day and reading that he had killed someone

I am stronger than him
feel awful now

Well done op. Let him feel the fear for a change. I hope he rots for what he's put you through.

You will heal and be whole again. Xx

You are an amazing woman OP I'm in awe I wish I had the courage to do the same

looondonn · 15/09/2018 17:08

Chorley
Do it if you can
Or tell others and get out
It is so hard I know sadly

I have seen some of your threads. I am so in awe of you, you are a Star.

Even if nothing comes of this legally, a lot comes of it for you - you were there for yourself and for your DC. Flowers

Be kind to yourself. Then do the Freedom Programme to become the strong woman you are inside.

looondonn · 15/09/2018 17:53

Thank you guys

The words of many on here resonated in my head for months

Without he help on here I may be dead
Multiple times he lifted a knife to me

OP posts:
looondonn · 15/09/2018 18:00

for those of you who have been in my situation
what helped?

I dont know how I will get through the next few weeks
it is all very scary
and I have not even done anything wrong :(

Well done for reporting him.

I sincerely hope you are not still living together.

Yogafailure · 15/09/2018 18:40

Well done on reporting him OP.

I'm sorry you've been so badly treated. I hope you feel stronger after reporting him.

looondonn · 15/09/2018 19:15

no will never have to see him again i hope

in court I hope to testify behind a screen - thats if it goes to court who knows

I want to put the scum behind me now and move on - it is very hard to let some of the things go

OP posts:
Prawnofthepatriarchy · 15/09/2018 19:34

How brave you are, and what an inspirational mother, Looondonn. I'm hoping the bastard goes to jail.

Frouby · 15/09/2018 19:36

You are amazing and brave op. Flowers. I hope the police take it very seriously.

snowsun · 15/09/2018 19:41

You are incredible for doing this. The strength it took and that strength will keep growing now. Thanks

looondonn · 15/09/2018 20:35

Thank you

He won't go to jail

He will sail his way through it all

The report I sent in has not even been looked at yet by the relevant team

But at least on his records this will remain for life

I hope he suffers in some way for what he did
