Ex h holding on to door to my home to continue talking.

[MegMogandOg]

He is angry with me that I am not responding to texts from him in the evening. He wanted to discuss this when dropping off the kids home to me. He kept holding in to the door to the door to stop me closing it. I really didn’t like it . How would you react?

Speak to national domestic abuse helpline and ask about evidence required for a non-molestation or restraining order.

How old are the DC?

It may be safer to come outside your home and collect the DC from the car and refuse to open your front door until he has driven off. I'm sure his behaviour will be better in public.

Apart from neither DC being well enough to go to contact at short notice why would you need to phone him?

You could have a contact handover book and just stick to emails.

You can't co-parent with this type of person. Have fixed contact and as little communication as possible with him.

Speak to Woman's Aid, and probably your local police for advice and support.

Going for your throat is a serious sign of potential signficant violence.

No kids can’t walk alone unfortunately as daughter is usually crying as she sleeps on the journey. She was crying when he was trying to talk to me. I’ll have to think of some other way though.

Why are you protecting this awful man and his career.

His hands on your neck!!

You need to ring 101 and lig ALL of these issues.

His attempt to chokehold you.
His foul messages harassing you.
His stopping you from closing your door.

Stop protecting him.

Log his behaviour.

Let him deal with the consequences.

He behaves like this because he thinks you are weak and scared.

Show him you are NOT.

Report him when he is aggressive. You wont destroy him. He might destroy himself, although really unlikely.!

Get a ring doorbell too if you havent already. It can record him when he arrives.!
