Boyfriend drove son home drunk

Name changed.
Last night me, boyfriend and kids (including shared child) went to a party. Good night, fun had by all, quite a bit of drink consumed and got lift home. I went to the loo, can hear him outside moaning I was taking too long. Had to get out of a jumpsuit and remove contacts. I hear a countdown from 5 then he busts the door down, breaking the lock in the process.
I stayed calm and told him to F off.
He left my house with his son. I get up this morning and my car has gone.
Not really sure where to go from here really. Haven't made contact with him yet. If we didn't have a child I'd never want to see him again.

Call the police that is child neglect and he is in danger

brokenlock · 19/01/2020 10:31

Even now? I can't prove he drove it. I need my car back as need to go out. I can't walk to his and get it as he's 5 miles away.

Phone the police OP, tell them what happened and report you car stolen. If he has crashed, speeded or ran a red light it will come back on you otherwise.

Also the police can do a welfare check on your son.

Quartz2208 · 19/01/2020 10:34

he stole your car and broke your door down yes of course police

I assume that your child is with you

TheJoxter · 19/01/2020 10:36

Is he insured on your car?

Wildorchidz · 19/01/2020 10:37

Call the police.
Are there just 2 children involved- his own and his with you? They must have been very frightened.

Kinneddar · 19/01/2020 10:41

Nothing you can do about the drink driving now. If hes not insured to drive your car you need to report it stolen otherwise you could be in a whole heap of trouble too

Hes been drink driving and with a child in the car, he stole your car and broke down your door. Sounds like youd be better out of that relationship

JiltedJohnsJulie · 19/01/2020 10:47

Call Refuge and speak to them. The really worrying part is that you seem to think it's ok because you have a child with him. Nothing about this is ok OP.

Clymene · 19/01/2020 10:49

He stole your car, drive drunk with a child and smashed a door down in your house. Why wouldn't you call the police?

Mandarinfish · 19/01/2020 10:51

After no provocation at all he broke down a door and drove off drunk. You must call the police and get rid of this guy from your life.

Mum4Fergus · 19/01/2020 10:54

I can't think why you left this overnight...call the Police, now!

PotteringAlong · 19/01/2020 10:55

Call the police! You’ve woken up this morning and your car has been stolen!

brokenlock · 19/01/2020 11:10

Yes, the kids saw this. He was carrying one of them.
No, I don't think any of this is acceptable at all. He also has a door key so will ask that car is returned and all keys put through letterbox.

He damaged a door in your home. as it's your home, does he pay towards the rent, is his name on the mortgage, Could he move out. though I'm not sure what you can do about him seeing your joint DC.

YesThatsATurdOnTheRug · 19/01/2020 11:32

Absolutely unacceptable, keys returned and get him out.

Lozzerbmc · 19/01/2020 11:33

I hope he didnt crash with your car and a child in it. Shocking behaviour. He’s damaged your home and scared the children as well! Car and key to be returned immediately. Dont see him any more and make a formal arrangement for him to see your child though thats a big concern if he behaves like that ...

timeisnotaline · 19/01/2020 11:37

Yes to police, it’s assault, drink driving and child endangerment. Whether you can prove it or not talk to them.

timeisnotaline · 19/01/2020 11:38

And you need it with the police to try and stop him being able to drive with your child together.
Is this really out of the blue? Surely there’s a history.

Wildorchidz · 19/01/2020 11:39

You have no intention of informing the police have you?

Herpesfreesince03 · 19/01/2020 11:40

Phone the police ffs. Even just to get it logged rather than press charges

PepsiLola · 19/01/2020 11:40

100% police now! He will likely still be over the limit

Lipz · 19/01/2020 11:43

Omg the poor kids seeing disgusting behaviour like this. They must have been so scared. I hope they weren't in an accident. What must that poor child have felt being in the car with an angry drunk.

brokenlock · 19/01/2020 11:51

I do want to call the police but I'm trying to get a moment to do so out of others earshot. Can I just log it though like a PP said? He won't know I've done it?
He's raised his voice before but never been physical.

Call refuge or women's aid. They are best placed to talk through your options regarding calling the police.

PositiveVibez · 19/01/2020 12:07

How pissed were you both??? Poor kids.
