My partner has beaten me up today and held knife to my throat and I feel sorry fro him

[DoubleLife]

He was arrested and is in prison now.
I've got black eye, half of my face is swallen and he left marks on my neck after trying to strangle me. I really thought he was going to kill me.

We have 14 weeks old dd and I know I have to leave him tonight. I am just waiting for my brother to come and collect our things.

but why I don't feel angry with him? Why do I feel sorry for him?
I'm crying over the life we could have together, our plans and dreams. I'm grieving the life that won't happen now. I'm feeling sorry for my dd who will grow up without a father.

I don't want advice really. I know what I have to do.

Good Luck - you have made the right decision.

have you got somewhere safe to go?

(((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))))

oh god - had he done this to you ever before?

He could be such a wonderfull man when not drunk. He is very intelligent and funny.

And I know that now he will go into pieces.

We've been together 5 years.

now everything is over

because you are in shock of what had happened. The anger will come sometime.

Had he done this before?

im so sorry to hear

he is in prison now?
hy?

you know yu are doing the right thing dont you?

Be strong, you will look back on this day as the last straw that broke the camal's back. It's ok to grieve - you lost a whole life when you made that decision, and the unknown is scary - but you have a new, better life coming your way. It is scary now, but when you are living it, you will look back on your old life and be So Glad you made this choice today.

I am going to move with my brother

I'm going to be safe there

Police's coming tommorow to talk to me

He was arrested

He is in jail

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[hugs]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

You're doing the right thing.

You've stood up to him.

Now replace the pity with anger that a man you trusted could have done this to you. It might be the only thing that will get you through the next few weeks.

He used to be agressive but never like this

Pushed me , pull my hair

It just shows that when they start to be violent there is no going back

you need to get going then..

hope everything works out for you

So sorry for you petal.

Will pray.

double life
so sorry to read this and releived to see that you are leaving.
it will always be the right thing to do, no life to be an alcoholic's wife.
take strength, take care, good luck
have you somewhere safe to stay? with our brother?
hope you feel safe, secure where you both are going.

do you mean he is being kept in the cells, rather than prison. You must get away from there before he is released on bail or something

You have made the right decision both for your DD's sake and for your own. Be strong, but you can get through this.

DL I'm so sorry. Take your time. What a horrible experience.

Good on you for leaving him.

Good luck for the future.

Thats awful.

(((((((((((((((((((dl)))))))))))))))))))

you are doing the right thing sweetheart . please keep on talking to mn if you get down. fm x

and please don't think that its your fault, I watched my old neighbour go from a confident girl, to one who blamed herself when her bf beat the crap out of her
