OH attacked me but I can't leave tonight (pic)

[youjustdontunderstand]

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!

Good luck today. You can get away and your life will be great,

Gosh I am so sorry :( please let us know how the interview goes and go to the police

Oh love - what a shit situation for you and your kids. He is worse than scum, but you already know that.

You are being incredibly brave and level headed. Tonnes of luck with the interview - I'm sure that if you just mention that you had a slight accident they won't think twice about it. And yes, go straight to the police afterwards and get the ball rolling. Women's Aid may also be able to support/advise you.

I’m so relieved. I read this when DD woke in the night and I couldn’t stop thinking about you. Please go to the police and take care.

Good luck for your interview.

Hope you find safety and support

good luck for your interview and stay strong x

Oh love

So glad to see your update that you are safe. If I can give you one bit of advice, it will be to follow through with pressing charges. Please do not let him get away with this. Too many people do

Hope the interview goes well. Lots of luck for that

Good luck for the interview OP.
You are amazingly strong and you totally can press charges.

Was thinking on you this mornjng when I was swimming - clear headspace time and all that, you popped into my thoughts.
Just wanted to say that when you live a life, any life, you kind of think your situation is normal, or just skewed of normal, please PLEASE know that your life isn't normal and you shouldn't have to, and don't deserve to be treated like this, please see this if you see nothing else

Good luck and hope to hear you're in a good place very soon ... with a lovely new job

Good luck OP, please let us know how you get on today

I hope this thread has given others strength that when your partner attacks you call the police and leave straight away.
Hope you are ok op?

Best of luck to you for your interview and your and your kids lives away from this prick xx

I too was up in the night feeding a baby and have been thinking about you and was glad to see your update this morning. Good luck with your interview. Please report it to the police before you go back to get your things in case he happens to be back at the house

Just read this whole thread. Good luck OP, with the interview and with the rest of your life safely away from this awful man.

Keep us updated on how you are OP

Morning OP. We'd like to contact you off the boards but just wanted to check it is safe for us to do that. Can we contact you by PM?

Glad to hear you're ok this morning. Good luck with the interview and the police.

We'll drop you a line once you've let us know it's ok to do so.

MN great idea. Such support here. Good luck OP. Wishing you all the best.

Haven't gone to the interview I can't do it I'm not in the right frame of mind and the side of my face and mouth is badly swollen.
Thank you everyone for thinking about me I'm in tears reading the messages. I just don't think I could sit through an interview right about now. So gutted that I have let them down!

It is so crazy how this kind of thing becomes the norm I honestly thought he wouldn't hurt me again as it hasn't happened for a while and we've been getting on so well.

I dropped DS of at nursery I've got no money at the moment so I'm going to bring back the clothes I got for the interview now so I've got £40 to get to my mums and money left over so I'm ok as I was worrying about that.

@HebeMumsnet feel free x

Could anyone give you a lift?

Oh lovely, get to your mums as quickly as you can to keep yourself safe.

I really hope that today is the first day of the rest of your life. There will be other interviews, you are incredibly strong and brave.

OP- just a thought, you’re not logged into mumsnet on any other devices your partner has access to, are you? Worried at the chances of him seeing this thread and your plans

Hi OP, I was in your position in 2005. I would really consider going to the police if you can face it... the most dangerous time is when you leave. You'll need all the support you can get. If you are away from the house now please don't go back alone, you could be putting yourself in danger. Please also go to hospital and have your injuries logged, even if you don't want to contact the police now as you may need a record of it later x

Glad you're not going to the interview, actually. You'd not be able to show yourself at your best. Why not call them, tell them you really want to be interviewed, you really want the job, but, you were assaulted and are speaking to the police? Ask if you could come in next week? The worst they can say is "no".

Took my friend 15 years to leave, am delighted that you are able to see things clearly earlier.

@Wolfiefan no mum doesn't drive don't have family over here don't really have my own friends their his friends as well.

Will ring the police once I get to my mums I have rang them before on him so this isn't the first however they weren't much help last time so I am hoping this time is different.
