I tried to post 3 times and every time I get to the end I choke and delete

20 years with an abusive asshole - how do you leave without losing everything you worked for?

He’s currently in hospital for at least the next 4 days

AIBU to ask if it’s worth shutting up and putting up if it makes the youngest DC happy? Or do I just dump him while he’s in hospital?

OP, please don't blame yourself for the parenting side of things. It doesn't help.

If your children have been fed, clothed and loved, that is something.

It's your partner who is to blame for the unsafe environment - not you. Please place the blame squarely at his feet and know that you can make a change by leaving him, it's never too late.

Takingontheworld · 28/06/2020 21:21

Oh OP.

If he's trying to hang himself then he needs help (in more ways than one) but it is not on you - this is your time now. Control your future and don't waste a minute more. You've been through so much.

I know you can do this. You have a wide open door whilst he is in hospital. Take the kids and go x

Crass12 · 28/06/2020 21:27

Well apparently he has now ripped his drip out and is coming home because I've fucked him off and is fuming and I'm a cunt because I bought the wrong toothbrush to him. See text he sent below

Crass12- call the police now. Show them that text and get a restraining order and some protection
Asap.

Tomorrow pack up the kids and get away. Anywhere.

Please. Please. I don't want to read about you in the news, whether its tomorrow or a year from now. Please save yourself and your children

Ohfrigginghellers · 28/06/2020 21:39

You have to be strong. It is really hard but this is your chance now. Call the police and do NOT put up with this scumbag any longer. This is not a healthy loving relationship.

SoTiredTonight · 28/06/2020 21:40

OP, please call police now. Don’t let him back him. I’m actually scared for you reading that text. He sounds an utter nut job. Tell them what you posted here earlier, what he’s don’t in the past. Please. Do it now. And please let us know you’re safe.

1235kbm · 28/06/2020 21:41

Call the police OP dial 999.

Isthisit22 · 28/06/2020 21:44

Please leave this violent man. You have suffered enough and deserve so much better. Please take care and ring the police if he does show up

Sparkle733 · 28/06/2020 21:51

You need to leave this man. Do it not just for your kids but yourself.
Don't waste any more time, words or tears on him.
It sounds like you've lost yourself for such a long time being with someone like that and now it's time for you to find yourself again.
Have a new start and get in touch with your family.
Don't be afraid to call 999. He is a bully.
You can do it.
Good luck and take care of yourself. X

SoTiredTonight · 28/06/2020 22:13

Are you there @Crass12?

Crass12 · 28/06/2020 22:27

I'm scared he will actually do it. I'm on tender hooks. I've locked everything up and the lights are off. I'm going to try and get help tomorrow

TwillfitandTattings · 28/06/2020 22:30

Get help NOW. And ring the ward and explain to staff that you are in a DV relationship, he has threatened to walk out and you don’t want him back. They will have a duty of care to alert relevant people about this.

wildone84 · 28/06/2020 22:45

Locking up the house isn't enough. You need to call the police and let them know he's threatened you and he's on his way home.

lovemychildren27 · 28/06/2020 22:50

Please be careful and stay safe

lovemychildren27 · 28/06/2020 23:03

Please be careful I no how it feels to have a partner you are afraid of. If you are to scared to ring the police just get out of the house go anywhere public I no it late at night but if you feel you can't ring the police just try and not be in the house on your own be careful please

Takingontheworld · 29/06/2020 05:50

I'm going to try and get help tomorrow

Do you have your children at home? They are at risk now, not just you.

Yes call the ward. Tell them. Call the police. You have to do it now OP. I know you're scared. But this final leaving will be the last scary step. Then you're free. You won't have to live in fear of a beating or death at his hands ever again. If you can't do it for yourself please do it for your kids.

SmileEachDay · 29/06/2020 08:26

Good morning OP.

How did things pan out over night?

stoptheride · 29/06/2020 08:41

Been reading through this, another one here thinking about how you are this morning. Hugs x

hustler2020 · 29/06/2020 09:32

hi op

dont listen to what he says about you or children he’s just trying to get in your head so you don't leave and stay stuck in the rut you’re in

leave - you're children will not hate you nor will you be ruining their lives

whats the worse that can happen you're already in a shitty situation things can & will get better ( in time) if you leave

hellsbellsmelons · 29/06/2020 09:45

I have let them down massively by staying in an abusive marriage so in effect I’ve abused them by doing so
OK, you know this now.
So STOP letting them down.
Action OP.
Please protect them!
Contact Womens Aid.
Contact Shelter.

Takingontheworld · 29/06/2020 19:26
