Help me have strength. Hes just smashed up my kitchen

So partner has always had a bad temper and arguments have got out of hand before.
This morning I went for a coffee with a friend and he has smashed up the kitchen because he doesn't like my friend. He threw the microwave at me but I managed to dodge it. He has smashed glasses of the floor and walls. Hes broken my washing machine and oven.

I asked him to leave and he has. But know he will come back as he has left his charger here.
He has taken all money and food from his kids as he is trying to get to me.

Give me strength to finally get rid of him please.

Hope you’re safe OP - you can do this Flowers

Jux · 14/03/2019 17:07

I hope you are safe, and that you've found the strength to call the police.

He threw the microwave at you. Imagine if you hadn't been able to dodge. There you are, lying on the floor of your smashed up kitchen, blood pooling around you from a massive head wound, broken skull evident, your 4 yo sitting beside you crying for you to wake up..........

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 14/03/2019 17:21

Are you OK, OP?

Please come back and let us know as and when you can (obviously keeping yourself and DC safe is the first priority).

januaryfirst · 14/03/2019 17:34

Hope you called the police op. Your dc don't deserve to see this happening!

LIZS · 14/03/2019 17:37

If you cannot phone police would neighbour or friend? There are resources who can support you and keep you safe, but only if you open up, good luck.

AudTheDeepMinded · 14/03/2019 18:41

You do know that if you fail to protect your children in this situation and social services become involved they may be removed from your care? I really hope you have called the police. Onwards and upwards OP.

Smashed Microwave could be dangerous (radiation)- careful

FlorestanAndEusebius · 14/03/2019 19:09

Thinking of you OP, hope you and your children are safe xx

ReggieWoo · 14/03/2019 19:09

I hope the police have reassured you that you've done the right thing. You really have

thefirst48 · 14/03/2019 20:18

The OP hasn't come back to update so I'm guessing she didn't call the police.

rainingonmyfireworks · 15/03/2019 09:21

may be op doesn't want to share anymore info, and wants her privacy now she's been advised by the good and the wise on 'relationships'.
hope all is okay with her though obviously and that she hasn't taken the twat back into her life.

Teacoffeechoc · 15/03/2019 10:31

Sorry I didn't come back. He got arrested early hours of this morning.
I've come to stay at my mum's.
My head is all over the place.

Well done OP! Flowers

iklboo · 15/03/2019 10:38

Well done OP. Thinking of you.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 15/03/2019 10:41

Oh thank goodness. Thank God he was arrested.

Just take some time for yourself and imagine how peaceful your life will be without this arsehole in it. Hope your DC are OK. Flowers

MulticolourMophead · 15/03/2019 11:21

OP, I'm glad you're away from him, and that he's been arrested. I hope you can get some peace, and that you can get rid of him permanently.

MadeInUSA · 15/03/2019 11:53

That's a massive first step to getting away from that bastard and a better life for you and your DCs. Well done OP, it's one day at a time from here on. Just keep going. You're going to feel overwhelmed at times but you won't be going back to being abused. Just well done!

Ribbonsonabox · 15/03/2019 12:31

I'm glad you're at your mums OP and I'm glad he was arrested. Good luck for the future! I hope you never have to deal with that bastard again Flowers

Leeeeemon36 · 15/03/2019 12:40

OP, this is the step in the right direction. So sorry you found yourself in this situation but read Jux post above. This might happen if your partner gets away with his violence.
Wishing you all the strength, please protect your kids,they have no choice, you have.

beerandpopcorn · 15/03/2019 12:40

So relieved.... well done OP !

pnutter · 15/03/2019 12:42

Well done , take it slow Flowers

AuntieCJ · 15/03/2019 15:32

Well done, OP, stay strong.

Jux · 15/03/2019 15:40

Well done, Teacoffeechoc. It's difficult, what you're doing but you've taken the first steps. Keep going on that road.

Don't believe him when he begs and pleads and cries and promises he'll change - he won't.

billybagpuss · 15/03/2019 15:52

Well done OP stay strong.

Can you afford the tenancy on your own?

10IAR · 15/03/2019 16:16

I'm so relieved to see your update, I was so worried for you.

Flowers and Brew for you x
