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

Please ring 999 OP Sad you aren't safe, and neither are your children with this monster.

Boxerbinky · 24/01/2019 22:11

I think you should report this to the police too! Xxx

stuckinarut2019 · 24/01/2019 22:11

I'm so sorry this happened to you, please let us know you're safe x x

Bluelonerose · 24/01/2019 22:12

Please ring 999.
If your not comfortable talking in case of noise try a web chat with them.
Please leave tonight.
Don't be the victim that isn't here in the morning Flowers

cestlavielife · 24/01/2019 22:12

Police
They will arrest him and kerp him overnight

youjustdontunderstand · 24/01/2019 22:13

DD is fine he would never hurt the kids.

I have passports just need to get the birth certificates but will go down when he is asleep.

I told him today that I think I'm suffering with PND and he's done nothing but mock me all day.

Call the police- they will take him and in and you can pack your car and get their passports etc then.

ButterflyWitch · 24/01/2019 22:15

If you call the police and state domestic violence he’ll be taken away and kept overnight (in Scotland anyway...). Please keep you and your kids safe and call them Flowers

SuziQ10 · 24/01/2019 22:15

You need to inform the police.
If you are leaving this man then you are likely to have a custody battle for the kids shortly down the line.. you don't want your kids left with someone who is physically violent! And you need this incident (and arrest) as evidence of his behaviour. It's serious. And what will he do if he finds your packed bags tonight!! Please call them.

Iloveautumnleaves · 24/01/2019 22:15

Jesus. How long have you been puting up with this for?

I’m glad you’re getting out, please don’t let him talk his way back into your life. I wouldn’t let him have the kids either, he’d have to take me to court. Bastard.

GB54 · 24/01/2019 22:17

I’m so sorry. I agree about phoning the police. Keep us updated x

WellThisIsShit · 24/01/2019 22:17

Oh you poor thing. You have a good plan for tomorrow, but worried about you getting through until then. But sometimes it’s true that waiting and preparing is the better idea than lots of drama and spontaneous running around, and only you can gauge which is better for you right now xxx

LIZS · 24/01/2019 22:17

Presumably you also thought you were safe until a few hours ago. Sad can you get dd from him and hide in a bedroom. Call police if you can now. If he is detained it will buy you time.

thisusernameisrubbish · 24/01/2019 22:18

I am so sorry, but yes please be really careful and do all you can to not get caught. I'd put all passports and birth certificates in your car first thing, even if you are coming back. Make sure he doesn't catch on that you've posted on here (if he checks your phone/etc delete everything/all history!)

I understand the job may be really important to you, but at the end of the day you may not get it anyway and what's more important is yours and your childrens safety. I understand you can't leave tonight so as others have said, cold compress on your lip and please keep us updated with how you are. Once you are safe tomorrow I would certainly report him to the police, even just to have it on record in case he tries to fight for custody etc.

Namedrama · 24/01/2019 22:18

It doesn’t matter that it’s his house, the police will remove him and you will have time to pack properly overnight and get out of there. The sooner you report it the better in terms of prosecution evidence and, more importantly, in terms of keeping you safe.

When you arrive at the place you have an interview say you have been in a small car accident.

You poor thing. Does he have a history of violence?

Iwrotethissongfor · 24/01/2019 22:19

I’m so sorry and I hope you’re DD didn’t see it. I’m glad you have a plan and really hope you get the job and are free.

ApolloandDaphne · 24/01/2019 22:19

Please keep yourself safe tonight. I hope you can get to safety tomorrow.

Ozziewozzie · 24/01/2019 22:19

Can you call police, or can we do it for you? Surely you could go to your mums tonight? The police will remove him from property and allow you to collect your belongings and get your car keys from him. Is he the father of your children?

Woobeedoo · 24/01/2019 22:19

Echoing police. I'd suggest telling nursery what happened and that under no circumstances are they to let your child be collected by him - just in case he tries that stunt.

doubleshotespresso · 24/01/2019 22:20

Could you text a friend and get them to make the call for you to the police?

That way they can just arrive and detain him for the night while you gather yourself....

Well done for the job interview and best of luck.

CatnissEverdene · 24/01/2019 22:20

In the nicest possible way, you're a rabbit in the headlights at the moment and you're not thinking straight. Use your phone to call the Police and get help. They will either help you get to safety or get him out.

I'm sorry to be blunt but will your DC be comforted if he kills you tonight knowing you didn't leave because of a job interview??

Butterfly84 · 24/01/2019 22:21

Call the police when you and your DC are safe at your mum's tomorrow.

Regarding your cut, don't put too much makeup on it to cover it up because it may get infected. I hope you get the job.

NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1 · 24/01/2019 22:21

Good idea about saying you've been in a minor car accident - you won't be able to hide it so you'll just have to mention it.

Please phone the police. It doesn't matter if its his house.
