I hope to god social services get involved and her little boy is removed from this nightmare. You read about these vile women who put men before their children, but actually seeing one justifying their actions is sickening - reading this I really don't think OP is safe to be in charge of a child. Let's face it, she's probably going to end up as a statistic sooner rather than later, we can only hope her son doesn't too. Pages and pages of gently encouraging her to leave this monster mean nothing, it's obvious that she cares more about her boyfriend than she does about her child. The harsh reality is that some women are beyond help and don't deserve to be mothers.

I never excuse it, but can understand how this happens. But, the little part of you that knows right from wrong etc, would or should act accordingly!

I have a feeling we will never know the outcome of this

CoronaLightSweet · 11/09/2021 18:22

This is just terrifying, are you there OP?

nevergoesaway · 11/09/2021 18:52

She said he saw her typing on her phone the other day, he could have snapped and grabbed it off her and broken it. I don’t like to think of other worse possibilities Sad

I know this is my thoughts exactly!!
Cleverpolly3 · 11/09/2021 19:54

I’d love to be wrong @Redruby2020

MinnieJackson · 11/09/2021 20:37

Sad I think we would have had an update if OP was at her mums. Really, really hope you're safe.

Tenohfour · 11/09/2021 21:07

I really hope you are safe and have managed to get away from this man. Please talk to whoever will listen... Women's aid, police, friends, doctor, family, neighbours... Anyone who can possibly help.

Tenohfour · 11/09/2021 21:50

I have a really bad feeling about this one.

JorisBonson · 12/09/2021 09:04

Hoping OP comes back today.

I actually hope it was all a load of lies and she just got bored
Nobody wants to think of anyone living this way.

100% agree

I used to be a listener at a voluntary service - many made some fantastic and disturbing stories up that you would find hard to believe - I tended to think they probably needed help as much as the genuine callers but you can’t provide it that easily. But it’s not just t’net that is responsible for the opportunity and phenomenon.

@Cleverpolly3 - I think so, something specific ‘jarred’ further back and triggered a recollection of a call I took - I tend to hope it isn’t all true for the OP’s sake, and the family’s, but whichever it is, I hope they seek help.

buttercup1001 · 13/09/2021 06:23

@buttercup1001 did you get the Dr to check out your neck pain and heartburn problems after your bf strangled you while you were there ?

Inthesameboatatmo · 13/09/2021 09:10

So you've still not done anything about the situation then .

Cleverpolly3 · 13/09/2021 09:15

I don’t think anyone wanted to believe you’d made it up
As you can see quite a few people have been concerned about you over the weekend especially given the posts you left before then.

Did you speak to the GP about him hurting your neck?

As for not getting anyone involved, I think you need to understand that there will never be a good ending to this with him. He will react badly and probably violently. The police will get involved and because you have a child it will be immediately flagged up to social services and probably a MARAC held and your contact with him reviewed. Quite possibly in a CPP.

If you are proactive and seek help to get him out of your life now it will reflect so much better on you.
You are too vulnerable to do this alone
