He suddenly went into his mood and flipped. I went upstairs with the children. He followed me up after 5mins even though he just said he wants to be left alone. I told him to go downstairs he refused and told me to fuck off. I told him I've had enough of everything, I had enough of his bullshit treatment towards me, he kept saying stfu, or I'll punch you in the mouth. I just snapped and said you dare and I'll call the police. He kept saying stfu as I was speaking then smacked/punched my mouth.i began crying and dialled 999, I could hear the lady saying hello but I never spoke. She could hear me crying. I cut the call. I never thought I'd call them CZ I've just been too afraid of aftermath. Its been happening for 6 years, I've put up with his crap and something just made me dial 999, physically and mentally I'm shitting down I cant take the crap

What will happen next ? got 3 private calls since i dialling it. But havnt picked up

Ring them again. Don't back down now has he been drinking? Did the children witness it?

Coronado2 · 08/09/2023 22:59

Hopefully they'll send some officers to your location to check on you, but I don't actually know.

You don't have to put up with this. I hope you decide you can leave. I'm sorry you're living with this.

TheShellBeach · 08/09/2023 23:00

Please call them back and get help.
You deserve a life of peace, without a violent, cruel man in it.
I wasted ten years with a violent man. Don't be me. Get away from him and start a new life.

Call . You and your children are in danger. Call NOW

BiscuitsandPuffin · 08/09/2023 23:01

Yes ring them back and tell them what has happened and that you're still in the house with him. Women's Aid can also help you.
You've been really brave ringing for help. Now the next job is to get the help to come to you. You can do this.

Namechangeforadvicepleaseandthankyou · 08/09/2023 23:01

You can just say one word. …’ help ‘ and they will come

Namechangeforadvicepleaseandthankyou · 08/09/2023 23:01

please call

CherrySocks · 08/09/2023 23:01

Textphone 0800 112 999

IDontLoveTheWayYouLie · 08/09/2023 23:01

I once accidentally called 999 and got three call backs while I was asleep so didn't realise but nothing happened after. I hope they manage to send someone out to you if she heard you crying though.

I would call them back though and tell them what has happened. He shouldn't get away with what he's done and you and the kids can't be around someone like that.

I hope you are okay.

BiscuitsandPuffin · 08/09/2023 23:01

And please keep posting so we know you're still there.

Septemberdaysarehere · 08/09/2023 23:02

INeedAnotherName · 08/09/2023 23:02

Call them back. You have been amazing just calling them tonight, the first step is always the hardest. You can do it again Flowers

Namechangeforadvicepleaseandthankyou · 08/09/2023 23:02

You don’t have to live like this

TheShellBeach · 08/09/2023 23:02

Just call 999 again and say Help.

reallyunderstandsometimes · 08/09/2023 23:02

Where is he now? Can you call them back and they will make sure you are safe?

MolkosTeenageAngst · 08/09/2023 23:03

I’m sorry. I understand you are scared of the aftermath, but the aftermath of leaving your children in a violent home witnessing domestic abuse could be far worse, they are likely to have far worse outcomes in the future if they continue to grow up witnessing this and feeling scared in their own home. The aftermath of dealing with your children’s potential future mental health problems, difficulties at school etc will be far harder than the aftermath of leaving an abusive relationship as soon as you can. Sorry if that’s hard to hear but you need to leave for the sake of your children who have no choice in this, is this the childhood they deserve? What kind of future do you want them to have?

Previous Emergency Response Caller here
If you call 999 they log it. Yours was a emergency but put phone down. They will call you back. They will try quite a few times. Depending on the emergency they WILL send an ambulance.

Elliemayclampett · 08/09/2023 23:03

Phone them
Back.. you can do this

Whattodo112222 · 08/09/2023 23:04

Police op. Make a statement and follow it through. If he takes you to family court. You need this evidence. Trust me xxxx get him away from you and your children

Wishitsnows · 08/09/2023 23:04

Phone 999 again or text them you and your children deserve more than this

Whattodo112222 · 08/09/2023 23:06

Call the police again and report it op. You need to do this op to be free

canyoufeedthedog · 08/09/2023 23:06

The private calls will be the Police trying to reach you.

Bobbybobbins · 08/09/2023 23:07

Hope you are ok and sage OP

canyoufeedthedog · 08/09/2023 23:09

I worked for the Emergency Response.
If we got any phone calls of abuse, self harm we put an instant response to Ambulance in the area. We also phoned back. The people who are phoning you are trying to help you.

determinedtomakethiswork · 08/09/2023 23:09

I hope you are okay. Unless you call them back or answer the calls then everyone will be worrying about you. Now is the time to be brave and protect yourself and the children.
