I'm dead inside. I have no more drive left in me. Hes finished me as a person, I'm just a shell. Even after everything hes done to me this morning, he threw a cereal bowl at me, frying pan at me smashed half the kitchen up, all because I showed him my email from HR saying the cant accommodate my requested days, meaning hes got to change his one day. I was dreading telling him cz of his reaction. He went ballistic and told me I had to sort the childcare it was my issue and not his, hes not changing anything of his.

After cleaning up the mess, I've spend most of the day out of his sight. Only came face to face after I pick lo from school. Most of the evening was spent with him shouting in my face calling me crap. I dozed off on the sofa and went up to bed up a while ago. I could hear him getting ready for work. He came up kissed lo, called me a fucking idiot, i pretended to be asleep. He then left for work.

After a while I then heard a noise downstairs so i went on to whatsapp to start messaging him and noticed him already typing. I knew he was about to send me a vile message as hes previously done before when he does this before. So I blocked him, I cant bear reading a nasty message from him after everything that's happened today, I haven eaten all day, I feel sick. Ive tried being nice to him even when he was having a do at me in the evening.But I dread tomorrow morning, hes threatened to leave me many times and i dread this. Even though I want him to leave I feel like I cant do this like I cant function without him, its giving me anxiety that he'll leave me, I haven't eaten and now I dont think I'll sleep either. I'm just done with my shit life, I cant do this anymore.

Thing is, when you're no longer in this situation, you'll realise just how capable you actually are and how he better you'll function.

There's nothing wrong or different or special about you in that regard. Without this negative force in your life, you'll get on with the business of being you.

Currently it’s a shit life. It won’t be once you’ve plucked up the courage to leave him. The future is bright. Don’t let fear hold you back.

He's made you feel like you can't cope without him after belittling you every day, you absolutely can and you will live without him. You will thrive and be so much better and your child
Will be better off to away from this man.

Please can women's aid or refuge for advice on ending the relationship safely as it is a dangerous time

Try not to worry about the future, take one day at a time, sometimes when people say how wonderful life is going to be after you leave can make you fear your own capability of being happy.

Expect less from yourself in a way that if you leave it's ok to feel bad, to mourn the relationship, to be sad, you have every right to be upset, the person you have had children with and promised to protect and care for you has turned on you.

He's a vile human being to do this to the mother of his children and none of it is your fault, you were just unlucky, many women end up in situations with cruel, horrible men who at first did not present like that.

I hope you manage to regain some strength because it looks like he's really knocked the stuffing out of you, please understand you are a kind person and he doesn't even deserve to be in your presence.

Understand what he is, a sadistic bully who get's off by intimidating you, he is pathetic.

Take care.

@Winterbaby...18 months ago his could have been me writing this, please...I'm begging you, get out before it's too late...the threats...the retreat to another room followed by a stream of vile, abusive texts, calling me at work and screaming at me because I'd been held up and he wanted me home...for the love of god please leave, trust me it won't get any better.

Read the title of your thread again. You can't do this anymore.

And you don't have to. People have told you how to get help, this is your time. Like the others have said. Do it for your child.
Keep speaking to us if you can. Please start to make plans to leave

roses321 · 22/06/2023 16:23

Dear lady, I just want to let you know that this is NOT your fault. Please call Womens Aid sweetheart. Get some help for the sake of yourself and your daughter, this isn't your fault and you do need to get out. You didn't cause this and you don't deserve it.

PickledMuffin · 23/06/2023 11:05

@WinterBaby131 - how are you today?

GG1986 · 23/06/2023 11:36

Don't block him on what's app, let him send you abusive messages as proof of what type of man he is, this will help if you need to contact the police to remove him from the house or if there is a custody battle etc. You don't deserve this treatment and your kids don't deserve to be stuck in this house walking on eggshells and seeing their dad throw things at their mum.
