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

So glad you are ok op.
Good luck for today. Will be thinking of you.Flowers

Myotherhusbandisgaryoldman · 25/01/2019 06:24

Please keep yourself safe OP
You deserve better than this

flumpybear · 25/01/2019 06:31

Glad you're ok this morning. Change your life today - this is a terrible life for you and your children

Do your plan, nail that job interview and move out, or better still thrownhim out! Are you in rented or owner of your home? If rented I'd be inclined to discuss with the ll ASAP
Straight after the interview go to the police and get the help you and your children need

Good luck @youjustdontunderstand - he's damaged you for the final time now you're in control 👍👍👍

Suresurelah · 25/01/2019 06:39

Pleased you are safe.

Please go to the police

Rufftumbles · 25/01/2019 06:42

So glad to hear you’re safe. Take care of yourself today and get out of there and away from him. Flowers

Dirtybadger · 25/01/2019 06:42

Good luck with your interview. Stay safe. Flowers

GingerbreadBlob · 25/01/2019 06:44

Relieved you're ok. Please see the police ASAP. Hugs OP, you shouldn't live in fear of violence.

treenu · 25/01/2019 06:46

Hope Today goes as planned, good luck with your interview Thanks

YourFly · 25/01/2019 06:47

Good luck today Flowers

Cauliflowersqueeze · 25/01/2019 06:48

Get the FUCK out of there and NEVER go back. EVER.

Send that photo of your bleeding lip to his mum and tell her that this is the reason you will never be with her son again.

Absolute fucking bastard of a man. Hope someone beats him to a pulp one day.

PurpleDaisies · 25/01/2019 06:49

When I tried to ring 999 last night he snatched my phone of me and wrestled me on the sofa he broke my last phone because I tried to ring the police so that's why I asked on here.

Wow, you are really lucky he gave you your phone back without hurting you again. Have you told anyone in real life that this has happened? That’s really important in case he comes back.

Good luck today. Flowers

olderthanyouthink · 25/01/2019 06:50

Good luck today.

Can you tell nursery not to let him take your DS or to call you if he shows up there?

QueenofHarts · 25/01/2019 06:53

I was reading this with an increasingly racing heart. I’d imagined all sorts when you didn’t post for a while. I was relieved to see you post at 6:21.

Good luck with your interview. Go to the police and get out with your children Flowers

As for those doubting the poster. You’re Heartless.

Lozzerbmc · 25/01/2019 06:54

Glad you’re ok but as others have said please make a change to your life today for the sake of you and your children. These situations only get worse. Although awful I think you’ve had a lucky escape. Please get help. Good luck with interview. You CAN do this.

Happierwithouthim · 25/01/2019 07:00

Good luck with both the interview & getting out of this relationship Thanks

namechanged0983 · 25/01/2019 07:01

Good luck for the interview today. I have a feeling today will mark a new beginning for you x Thanks

WWYDhelpplease · 25/01/2019 07:02

Good luck today OP.

pontiouspilates · 25/01/2019 07:09

Thank goodness you are safe. Today: Interview (good luck) and then please go to the Police. He is violent and unpredictable, please keep yourself and your children safe. You have an army rooting for you here. Thanks

Rafabella · 25/01/2019 07:10

Glad to hear you made it through. Please don't accept this behaviour as a form of normal for you and please don't underestimate just how much your children are absorbing. Go to your interview and go to the police. Tell them how severe it got through the night and how you were prevented from contacting them. Otherwise your delay will dilute the severity in their eyes. It will. Then tell everyone you trust. Do something about this now. Sending you strength. X

Weenurse · 25/01/2019 07:14

Good luck with your job and new life

Soontobe60 · 25/01/2019 07:16

Thinking about the children, at some point this will have a massive impact on them. You say it's happened before, and at least one of your children was awake last night so will have been aware. You're not being a responsible mother if you don't report this. You're condoning his actions. It's all very dramatic asking us here hpwhatbto do, but then not following the excellent advice we all gave you.
You have to think of your children. He may not physically hurt them but psychologically they will be massively traumatised. At some point social services will become involved and if you insist in staying with him you could end up losing your children.
You know what you need to do.

Mummyoflittledragon · 25/01/2019 07:20

I’m so glad you’re safe for the moment. I read the comment above about not letting him pick your ds from nursery. I think that’s a very good idea and would like to add your dd. I assume she’s in school.

Good luck with the interview and the police. Flowers Please keep your babies safe.

jessstan2 · 25/01/2019 07:22

Good luck op and glad you are OK atm (sort of).
Flowers

WheelyCote · 25/01/2019 07:24

Oh bloody hell love Thanks

glamorousgrandmother · 25/01/2019 07:29

The school/nursery can't refuse to hand DC over to father without an injunction but you can ask them to contact you if he turns up. It might be safer to leave them with DM today and get the injunction.
