Is this abuse? What do I do?

My SO is really argumentative sometimes and struggles with his temper. Yesterday he started shouting at me in front of my baby and 10yo so I told him to calm down and he got worse so I told him to leave. He called me scum and “left”. He’d waited in the back garden for me to leave with the kids and came out as I did and started again. Took the buggy with my ebf 7mo saying if he gets hungry he’ll just cuddle him, and if I go near him he will break my fucking wrist.
I managed to get the baby back and pretended to go to an appointment so he’d let me go but I went to my dads to let him cool off. My 10yo was so upset.
Unfortunately he didn’t cool off and sent me threats all day accusing him of kidnapping his baby. Driving around and watching every one of my family’s houses, threatening to kick their doors in. I had to say I rented somewhere to stay the night. I stay at my dads and he comes to the door where my sister says I’m not in and he shouts that “now he’s really angry.

Bear in mind I’m in contact all day just asking him to calm down so we can talk he goes to the police and files me as missing. They call me and obviously in answer with all the details. They escort me home to get baby clothes because in the past he’s hid waiting for me to come home then followed me. He wasn’t there but I was too scared to check the garden where I think he was.

I’m at my dads now. Ex/SO gave me abuse via text til 1am. I’m cuddling my beautiful baby wondering what do I even do?

Background story, Ex/SO has an awful temper but holds it most of the time. This is what happens when I don’t immediately agree.

Obviously this is very vague but I just don’t know what to do

Had to reply to this after reading it. You are being abused Op and it will not get better and he will not change. You need to break all contact for the safety of yourself and your children. You are being harassed and the police need to deal with this. If you have no faith then contact NCDV who will assist you with an injunction and funding for this. I really think this will escalate and you need to protect yourself and the children. You've fine nothing wrong, he's in the wrong. Good luck Op
