Im spinning this off quick as he's in the shed for half an hour scuse spelling etc. Together 5 years have 6month old baby has been pysical emotional and mental abuse for last 4 years has got worse since baby though he not violent physically anymre since she born. today feels like last straw for me trip to see my family planned, its my birthday today, my sister has taken time off work specially to see, it s half term so babys cousins can visit her, family lives 300 miles away, my boyfriend has pulled out of the trip he does this many many times in the past uses it to blackmail me into being 'good'i know this all sounds cliched but its real, i rent this house, he is not on the tenacny, he is not supposed o be living here due to tenancy conditions, because of whats happened today i feel like calling the landlady round and asking her to have him move out, but he says hell start smashing the house up cos im the tenant ill be responsible for the damage he says, he will do it, he has alrady damamged the house and contents previously.

he does have places to go, hoe owns his own house though hecant live in it hes a hoarder, but he has freinds to go to.

is there any wya i can avoid him smashing the house, nce the landlady leaves after telling him to go hell just come back half hour later, i really want to avoid involving police as it will make it worse for me, he has even said before he';d kidnap the baby if id did naything like this.

what does anyone think?

JodieG1 · 13/11/2007 10:09

I hope you're ok and find the strength to leave this bully. Don't let him ruin your life any more than he already has.

WelshGirlie · 14/11/2007 21:04

Please let us know that you are alright lovey.

Anonymama · 15/11/2007 20:35

MM Hope things are OK with you.

captainmummy · 18/11/2007 15:35

MM Bumping for you!

clam · 18/11/2007 19:45

MM, have you name-changed and I missed it? How are you? Worried 4 you............

Anonymama · 19/11/2007 13:42

MM, let us know how you are - even if you have started another thread/name, just a brief note on the end of this one would be great.

Take care.

Kerri28 · 23/11/2007 21:26

is anyone else really worried for MM? please let us know you are OK.

captainmummy · 24/11/2007 11:46

kerri I'm hoping she is out of touch because she is out of there? Is there any way of contacting her/anyone who may know her?

Kerri28 · 24/11/2007 18:53

me too. i dont know her i'm afraid, have just been following her ordeal and hoping her and her child are safe. Anyone know her in RL?

LOVEMYMUM · 25/11/2007 07:45

Milkmonster - please let us know you are ok and alive. Or even just alive.

Please, you have people here who care about you and your baby.

Are you there?

maviscrewit · 26/11/2007 13:09

I am worrying for her too, but don't know her in RL. I am praying she is just off line as she has left him. MM please let us know you are alright, we are all worrying for you.

Anonymama · 26/11/2007 20:06

Can anyone at Mumsnet HQ contact her by e-mail and just ascertain if she is OK? Or would this be a breach of privacy?

LOVEMYMUM · 26/11/2007 20:09

Anonymama - fingers crossed that mumsnet can contact her. Good idea.

maviscrewit · 27/11/2007 13:09

Seems like a good idea, I'm sure if you think someone might be in danger HQ could contact her?

LOVEMYMUM · 27/11/2007 21:31

Has anyone e-mailed mumsnet hq about contacting mm?

Anonymama · 28/11/2007 07:49

Have done so. Apparently they think that emailing MM might put her in more difficulty of her partner has access to her e-mail account.

We shall just have to hope she is OK, and hope that she will let everyone know how she is once she has access to a PC (assuming that is the reason for her silence).

LazyLinePainterJane · 28/11/2007 08:27

She did say that she might be out of touch if he broke her computer. I would think that e-mailing her would be a terrible idea.

NorthLondonMum72 · 28/11/2007 08:38

Dear MilkMonster, You are feeling muddled because you don't hate him. You are clearly a loving and kind person, and you have forgiven him over and over again.
But this is not just about you and him, it's about your child too.
I know where you're at and it seems so much EASIER to let things calm down, make a cup of tea, wait for him to come home and try and patch things up. But honey you know in your heart that things will never be good enough - that your child deserves better than to grow up in this environment. And hell, you deserve better too!
Please be strong. Kick him out. Get the help that the others advise, and don't look back.
This is the hardest part.
It will get easier I promise.
A few months from now you will feel like a different person.

Have just read through this thread, and it's one of the saddest stories I've ever heard. MM, if you're reading this, please get out of there and build yourself a new life away from this dangerous man. You are not mad. You are not to blame. It will be very frightening for you to get away from him, and it might feel impossible. But the fear you feel about running away from him is an illusion that he's built up in your mind - the fear of being with him is real and based on genuine danger to you and your child. Don't look to your landlady for rescue - however sympathetic she is, she isn't responsible for your life, and won't be able to protect you in the same way that the police can. I think you know that and that's why you're talking to her - because if you called the police it would be 'real' and that's very scarey. But it is real. Please get out of there.

LOVEMYMUM · 28/11/2007 14:49

I've been re-reading this thread and want MM to 'live happy ever after' in a calm and peaceful life - without any of the turbulence she has had up to now.

I think that we've all supported her and without knowing her personally (or being able to go round to see if she is ok), we have let her know that she is not alone. We have done and will continue to give her our warmth and backing.

Maybe we will never know the outcome of this story but for a little while at least, we could help someone in need.

MM - thank you for letting us help you and opening up to us.

maviscrewit · 29/11/2007 14:03

Well said LMM. Even if we never know the outcome I really hope we have helped and that MM is starting her new life, like i did.
