Threw DS high chair at me then hit me with a remote. I have a job interview tomorrow I've already rearranged it so that's not an option and I need this job.

I have packed up all our things and hid them I can't have him know we are leaving.

Really worried about this cut being visible tomorrow! Sad

Phone the police, you poor girl.

GertrudeCB · 24/01/2019 21:58

Are you safe ? Is he still in the home ?

MawkishTwaddle · 24/01/2019 21:58

You need to get yourself and your child out of there. Do you have any family or friends nearby?

Auba14 · 24/01/2019 22:00

Why can't you leave tonight? Where is this awful man now?

Keba123 · 24/01/2019 22:00

Ring the police I have been here it dosnet get any better get out now before he kills you

CinnabarRed · 24/01/2019 22:00

I’m so sorry he did this.

Are you safe, right now? If not, leave anyway with DS. Nothing is more important.

If you are safe then you need that job more than anything else, my love. Wash off the blood, frozen peas for any swelling/bruising, then slap on foundation and concealer tomorrow. Knock them out with your strength and wisdom. Deal with leaving after that. You’re already 90% of the way there.

MaitlandGirl · 24/01/2019 22:00

If you can’t call the police yourself text the photo to a friend/family member and ask them to get the police to your house ASAP.

Worry about the interview tomorrow, right now you need help.

LIZS · 24/01/2019 22:01

You need to get something on that, ice, cold compress, ideally treatment or to could scar. Do you have family you could, call to collect you and dc? Get to safety and report.

foodiefil · 24/01/2019 22:02

Phone 999

I'm sorry you're going through this but he is a horrible man and not your future

Good luck for your interview - hope you can make it

youjustdontunderstand · 24/01/2019 22:02

He is downstairs with DD we are not talking DS is asleep in bed.

He has the keys to my car waiting for him to fall asleep so I can get them otherwise it will cause an argument.

I'm going to drop DS of at nursery in the morning then drop dd with my mum while I go for the interview come back grab things and go to my mums.

It will definitely be visible.
If getting the job is crucial to you getting away from him then go to the interview.
Phone ahead and tell them you that you had an accident but wish to attend for interview.
I'm not sure what accident you could say, if they ask, maybe a minor car crash?

DianaT1969 · 24/01/2019 22:04

A frozen pack of veg in a tea towel. Wash the blood and concealer tomorrow. I can understand that you need to make plans to leave, but don't delay. Tell any real life support that you have what he has done so that they can look out for you. Good luck tomorrow.

RoseOfSharyn · 24/01/2019 22:04

Call the police quietly now.
If you cant then message someone to get them to do it.
You don't need to leave tonight. He does.

TokyoSushi · 24/01/2019 22:04

Oh love, I'm so sorry that this has happened to you. Your plan sounds reasonable if it's really not possible for you to leave tonight. I'd really encourage you to report him to the police when you're safely at your mums tomorrow ThanksThanksThanks

Kittykat93 · 24/01/2019 22:04

Please please call the police, this is awful. Protect yourself and your children Thanks

thecatsarecrazy · 24/01/2019 22:05

You poor love please go to the police.

LiquoricePickle · 24/01/2019 22:06

The police can make him leave. You won't have to.

I'm so so sorry.

LIZS · 24/01/2019 22:07

Think ahead, where are passports , birth certificates, bank details, id etc ? Will he go out first thing tomorrow? Ideally he should be the one to leave but not at risk to your safety. Can you call Womens aid now?

AhhhHereItGoes · 24/01/2019 22:07

Is your DD safe with him?

youjustdontunderstand · 24/01/2019 22:07

Going to the police tomorrow as soon as I can I have taken photos as well. I just really need this job never want to rely on a man ever again!!

It's his house though so I don't think they can.

Like others have said ring 999 please he needs to get out tonight

babysharkah · 24/01/2019 22:08

Can you get any important documents you may need together as well - passports/ bank details / birth certificates.

Is he safe to be with you Dd?

AhhhHereItGoes · 24/01/2019 22:08

Don't mean that to be patronising I just mean is he likely to get aggressive with her?

holasoydora · 24/01/2019 22:08

Please report this to the Police OP. Flowers

There is also a 24/7 domestic violence helpline on this site www.womensaid.org.uk/what-we-do/

enoughisenough2 · 24/01/2019 22:09

The police will take him anyway whether it’s him house or not
