Help. Dp just fought me

Just posted a thread about breaking up with my partner. He agreed I could sleep in the bed whilst he slept downstairs until I move out with our baby. Came upstairs he refused to leave and told me to sleep downstairs. I have a bad back and this got my back up as why we broke up is because he says things then just doesnt follow through with it.

I said fine I will pack a small bag go to my parents for the night then come back in the morning. I went to turn the light on and he turned it off like some kid. After some back and forthing of this he grabbed my hand multiple times really hard so i went to turn our side light on. He then proceeded to grab my legs (switch is on the floor) and dug in really bad. It still hurts. He got the quilt and pillows and anything he could and whacked me with it and it burns. He took the light bulbs out of the socket so I cant use it. All the meanwhile his dad stood outside our door listening and done and said nothing other than keep it down.

Does this count as physical abuse? He has pushed me as well and his parents talked it down to be nothing and so has he. He was angry at the time and blamed me for it

Hi OP, how are you now? Please be kind to yourself. I know it's a mess, but be kind to yourself for the sake of yourself and your baby. It's your choice at the end of the day. You might stay for a bit and then leave one day. You're not a coward don't feel like that. Next time he does something lie and say I've already reported you so don't you dare touch me again it's on your record. Hopefully it will scare him.

Dear OP, please let us know how you are.

You are not alone!

You didnt listen and are making excuses to stay. You haven't been hurt enough yet to where you will take decisive action.. POLICE will take you wherever you need to go. Babies wake up all the time, it's not fatal. You as I said are minimizing and making excuses.
