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

Good luck Flowers

Hope you're ok this morning op. Get your butt down to the police station ASAP. Don't over think it just do it. Or phone them. Just make contact with them as soon as you can.

cafenoirbiscuit · 25/01/2019 07:41

Phew. I’m so happy to read your update.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Good luck x

Good luck today for your interview! Will be thinking of you!
Thanks

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 25/01/2019 07:47

Good luck today with both the job interview and with moving on from this violent man.

I’m just a stranger on the Internet, but I’ll be thinking of you.

GB54 · 25/01/2019 07:49

Good luck. I hope this is the start of your new life x

TornFromTheInside · 25/01/2019 08:02

Good luck with the interview, and today is the first day of change.
Huge changes ahead for you, but you'll travel down a much better path for you and your children away from violence.

Reach out for help where you can, don't be afraid to do that. If you can be brave enough to walk from a violent man, you can be brave enough to reach out.

Go for it!

DutifulDaughterWifeMother · 25/01/2019 08:06

Hi OP, glad you are ok. Smash the interview & get yourself and the children away from him. Think of tday as the 1st day of the rest of your life away from him. Good luck x

CurlsandCurves · 25/01/2019 08:10

So glad you’re ok.

Sounds like you’ve got a plan in place to get you and the kids safely away, glad to hear you’re involving the police.

Hope you nail the interview and this can be the start of a happy and peaceful life.

Mother87 · 25/01/2019 08:10

Good Luck...with the interview... and then doing what you have to do for you and your childrenThanks

Atalune · 25/01/2019 08:12

Make sure you go to the police. Today.

Good luck with the interview.

Tell the nursery about the abuse. They have a protocol to protect called DASH and they will support you. If you have getset workers in your area ask for one. If you don’t then ask for homestart.

Please please please leave.

NowYouHaveDoneIt · 25/01/2019 08:15

Go for it OP. He'll NEVER change. Dont let him talk you round. Keep you and yr dcs safe. Good luck for the interview. We'll all be with you in yr interview in spirit. Flowers

LIZS · 25/01/2019 08:18

Tell police before you return to get your possessions, just in case he has returned himself in the meantime. Will your ds be able to continue at nursery if you move out or is it far from your mums ? If he is likely to be absent do tell them so they can support you and protect him if oh turns up, rather than disappear.

AndTheSkyWasAllViolet · 25/01/2019 08:20

I am also a stranger on the internet but I am sending so many good vibes your way that you get that job. Never have I wanted someone to get a job so much as I want you to get that job. Be strong, stay safe. Good luck at your interview. :)

londonrach · 25/01/2019 08:21

Good luck in the interview. you are a strong amazing woman. Go to the police after the interview x

aruba786 · 25/01/2019 08:25

Best of luck for your interview, really hope you get the job. Reporting him to the police will be the best and safest thing for you and your children. I have been through this and know how difficult it is, but trust me when I say its the right thing for you, it will be hard but you will get through this just as I did and you will have an abusive free life for you and your children. Sending lots of hugs, you can do this. This is the first day of a happy future Flowers tc

underoverunder · 25/01/2019 08:30

I hope you manage to get to the police asap and get your children to a place of safety.

If you are still going to your job interview, you could explain it as being cuased by one of your children. It looks like the type of injury that could have been caused by a toddler or big baby throwing their head back when you're leaning over them. Although that depends on if you want to disclose to your interviewer that you have children.

Hoping the best for you. Flowers

BifsWif · 25/01/2019 08:31

Take both children to your mums, go and smash the fuck out of that interview, go to the police and then start the rest of your life.

You know it will only escalate if you stay, you know that this environment is toxic to your children. Keep hold of your strength to get you through the next few days, let your mum look after you.
Sending love x

Livpool · 25/01/2019 08:40

So relieved you are ok. Good luck with today xx

gambaspilpil · 25/01/2019 08:40

Today is the first day of the rest of your life..... good luck with the interview and i hope you get all the support you need from the police and family. I was a DC of a DM who was beaten and it was traumatic for all and my DM still lives in fear 30yrs after the split and sleeps with a knife under her bed. So those thinking it’s easy to skip out the door with your DC in your arms have no idea of the reality.

Pinkmonkeybird · 25/01/2019 08:41

I hope you are ok this morning OP. If you are going to the interview, please do make sure you report him to the police afterwards and contact Womens Aid. xx

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 25/01/2019 08:43

Remember what he did to you when he crawls back and "apologises"
No Sorry will ever be enough

HappilyHarridan · 25/01/2019 08:44

Thinking of you op, hope you are ok x
