Punched, bleeding nose 5 hours on, should I go A&E?

[123qw]

Ok so don't really know exactly where to start...OH punched me in the face earlier on while I had LO in my hand.

LO fell of sofa OH came running picked LO up , I took LO off him and was comforting LO. He then clenched his fists and started getting angry, i said why are you clenching your fist move away from me please, i gave LO and told him to wash his face to cool him down, he took him and decides to throw everything that was in the storage draws on the floor, threw washing too, i followed behind and asked why he felt the need to throw everything on the floor on purpose, i told him to give me LO but he kept moving away from me and not giving me LO blaming me for LO falling even though he left LO there and never told me. He eventually gave me LO and continued to rant, he then punched me in the face while I was holding LO in my arm. I screamed at the initial pain then cried there was blood all over. I started to feel light headed and had no choice but to give him LO and lower myself to the floor as I could fèel my body going numb. I lay curled up on the floor in my own blood for what felt like ages but was about 20 mins. While I was on the floor I could hear him talking to LO asking him if he felt ok from the fall. I managed to eventually get up and go to LO. LO was ok but kept staring at all the blood on my face. OH kept saying your scaring LO go and clean your self up. I said no LO needs to see what you have done to me....

The last few months have been really bad each time it gets worse though. LO is feeling fine from the fall ive been keeping a very close eye. My face on the other hand really hurts, my nose is still very sore and still bleading. I don't really want to go hospital to get it checked as I'm scared they'll asked questions, so I'm thinking of making an appointment at GP, will they ask me what happened? I'm scared that they will put it down on file. My ultimate fear is that they will take LO away from me

You need to pick up your child, leave, go to the hospital and call the police.

1. You are lucid as you write well
2. Dial 999 for ambulance for you and LO
3. Ambulance crew will give you the reassurance you need to involve police
4. If you don’t do something now, LO will get taken away if you can’t take her away from him
5. Do it now

They won't take your baby away from you if you take steps to detach from your violent partner.

Please seek help. He may have broken your nose.

You can ring an ambulance in the first instance. It's not a waste of resources. You've been assaulted and need to protect your baby. Tell them everything. Protect yourself and your child.

Call the police, tell them you also need medical assistance for you and your child.

Get help and get out. Stay safe.

Get off Mumsnet and call the police. And tell them you need an ambulance.

Do not return to your OH. DO.NOT. let it sink in just how dangerous this man is, for both you and your baby and get the fuck out of there. Now.

You need medical attention as he could have broken your nose here and he needs to be arrested. He assaulted you in the home.

This is all on him, there is no justification or excuse for his violence. You and this man cannot be together any more. Do not protect him by staying quiet, abuse like this thrives on secrecy and this all needs to come out into the open now. Your child will not be taken away from you, your fears in this respect are unfounded. Fear of him keeps you also within this but he could all too easily kill you here.

You need to do as the other poster has suggested along with contacting women’s aid on 0808 2000 247.

Call the police. Your child doesn't need to see what this man has done to you. Your child needs to be taken out of this abusive and unsafe environment, as do you.

Please call the police this is not right and he is dangerous. Please do it now

It's quite worrying you wanted your lo to see you crying and bleeding. You need to call the police and have him removed from your home.

Please call the police. This is awful.

Of course they won't take your baby off you if you go to hospital and report this. They may take your baby off you if you continue to cover up for this man and bring your child up in this environment, at one point you won't be able to hide it. He will hurt you too bad.

So go.

Police

Go to the hospital and tell the truth. Good luck

Your little one will not be taken away from you if you are doing all you can to protect them. If you stay around this man then you are at risk of your little one being physically or mentally hurt.
Please call the police or call the national domestic abuse line for advice.
Getting help is a brave step in protecting your little one, and nobody would criticise you for that.
Please reach out for support before you are hurt more seriously.

This sounds like a very toxic relationship.

Ring an ambulance or take yourself to a&e. Make sure your child is safe with someone else. I don’t think it is healthy to be around this.

And tell the police.

Then leave. For good.

If you don't leave this man, "they" will take your little boy from you whether or not you tell anyone, because you will have willingly made him live with an abuser.

You need to get out before he kills you.

Your baby doesn't need to see what he's done to you, your baby doesn't need any of this. He needs to be in a safe, calm and happy envioronment.

You need to leave your dp to stop you losing your child

Go to hospital, they will be kind to you, they will keep you and your baby together, and you will get assistance.

Unfortunately it's just going to get worse - you do need to leave, ready or not, because violence always escalates. If you wait for the one where he kills you it will be too late.

If you don't feel able to go to hospital yet phone Women's Aid instead: 0808 2000 247 24

If they are busy it is safe to leave them a message and tell them when the safe time to call back is, even if that safe time is a period of 10 minutes. They usually call back straight away and they will not call outside of a time you say is safe.

SORRY - 0808 2000 247 - NOT with the last 24.

The poor baby has absolutely no need to see his mum's injury, what the hell are you thinking? Yes go and get medical help, and report this to the police. Your oh is violent and dangerous and it is your legal and moral duty to protect your baby from the harm he could cause. Co-operate with police and social services and they will help you. Alternatively carry on as you are, keep getting hurt (until you get killed) let your baby see it and be injured as they were today, again and again, and ruin the poor sod's life until social services have to take him away to make him safe. You know what the right choice for your child is, don't you?

The one good thing that you can do here for your baby and yourself is to report this. Living with a man like this is no way to bring up a child. If you report this you'd get help in getting away, not your child taken off you.

Is this for real? people have been killed by a single punch. So youre going to stay with him?!

It's getting worse. If you don't take action then your baby may well be removed from you.
