My husband punched me in the face

Helpmetalktomeplease · 13/12/2024 18:48

He hit me in the face into the stone floor twice my lips swollen my cheek is blue and swollen. I ran upstairs with my phone to call the police but he snatched it I yelled out the window to help and call the police but no one heard/cares. Now I'm just frozen and scared I don't know what to do.... I do but I'm too scared he pays for everything if I call the police he'll lose his job and we'll lose the house and I'm so scared the kids will be taken away. He's getting angry now that I won't watch TV with him he keeps angrily saying "I said I was sorry" but he's not he's cross I'm not over it yet. I just want someone to talk to right now, womens aid were busy, my family won't care and my friends arent very close to me, they can't help. I have no one

if you’re using your phone to type this call 999 now.

Msmoonpie · 13/12/2024 18:50

Please please call 999 right now. He is dangerous.

Helpmetalktomeplease · 13/12/2024 18:50

I do have my phone but I'm so scared of ruining our lives I work for the police everyone would know

Yes everyone would know what a disgusting piece of shit he is.

But you and your children would be safe. And you are not safe now.

MammaKel · 13/12/2024 18:53

Him killing you would ruin yours and your families life more. I'm sorry to be blunt, but it does happen, and It can happen to anyone.

Please call the police, he's assaulted you.

Call woman's aid tonight when he's gone.

You don't have to live like this.

Togetheragain45 · 13/12/2024 18:53

You absolutely need to call 999. He is the one ruining your lives, not you.

UghFletcher · 13/12/2024 18:53

The piece of shit deserves to lose his job and you & the children will be free of him. Call the police please

LivingLaVidaBabyShower · 13/12/2024 18:54

Call the police and report it now or go to the station if you can
Also photograph your injuries and have th docented by a dr (walk in, gp, whatever ypu have access to)

The only person whose life is going to be ruined is yours by staying.

Is there anyone you can talk to in real life?

Please call the police and please leave him
Im sorry this happened and its not your fault

Also agree with everything @UghFletcher says

SonicBoomInTheRoom · 13/12/2024 18:54

OK get help from Woman's Aid. They will be able to get you safe. Once there, you can think clearly about your options. This man assaulted you. You do not take that. Get out of this and stay out. No contact, no calls. If you let him, doubtless he will be apologetic and lovely until the next time. And it will get worse until the last time when he could ultimately kill you.

Please stay safe.

Mirandawrongs · 13/12/2024 18:54

Isn’t your life going to be ruined by him killing you?
his temper is not yours to control.

show some strength and care for yourself and call the police.
put your kids first and call the police.

call the police.

Stormyweatheroutthere · 13/12/2024 18:55

Whilst you sit there imagine who will identity your body and what will happen to your dc then.. Take back control and ring them op. Please for your dc....

TheyCantBurnUsAll · 13/12/2024 18:56

You are not ruining your life you are saving it. And your children if you have them.

Call them now you are not safe.

The shame is on him acting like this kit in you for leaving.

I felt like you once. Now I look back and it seems so foreign to me that I couldn't see how staying was so bad but when you are in it it's hard to see. I promise you freedom from this is better. Even if desperately poor that feeling of being safe is priceless

I’ve been in this situation and children’s social care would only be concerned about your children if you don’t safeguard them by calling 999.

WonderingWanda · 13/12/2024 18:56

Please call the police op. This had already ruined your life. You've been physically assaulted in your own home and will forever be scared of him.

MILLYmo0se · 13/12/2024 18:57

You think your kids overhearing these fights and seeing the state of your face won't ruin their lives? What lies are you going to come up with as to how you got a busted face that definitely wasn't courtesy of me husband? What if he kills you in a future fight, he could have done it tonight, only takes 1 punch or falling onto your head a certain way.
I get that you are scared, but this is going to happen over and over, and if your fear is that people will know, well they are going to suspect/know without you saying it and you are still stuck in that house with him. You have nothing to be ashamed of if you come out and tell people to protect yourself and your child, it's the cowardly woman beating scum you live with that needs to have the light shone on him and his behaviour.
Do you understand how much worse everything will get now he has crossed this line and gets away with it

Ukholidaysaregreat · 13/12/2024 18:57

He is a fucking arse hole. Call the police. Hope you are OK. Xxx

FloralCrown · 13/12/2024 18:57

Please call the police; it's his shame, not yours.

You are risking your own life and that of your children by staying.

Call the police, now.

ScrollingLeaves · 13/12/2024 19:00

Take photos of your face. Call 999.

HollyChristmas · 13/12/2024 19:01

Even if you are both police , he needs reporting right this very minute .
I'm sure you realise once that bridge has been crossed it will happen again .

TheSilkWorm · 13/12/2024 19:02

The children are only likely to be taken away if you do nothing. Call the police now, please

YourNavyPoet · 13/12/2024 19:03

He’s hit your face into a stone floor twice and now he’s angry you’re not over it “yet”? Call 999 now, you can go to a refuge with your children tonight.

username299 · 13/12/2024 19:05

You can contact the National Domestic Abuse Helpline 0808 2000 247 They're available 24/7

If you think he's going to attack you again dial 999.

paddingtoncoffee · 13/12/2024 19:05

Another one saying call the police, please. He won't change, this isn't a one off (I suspect you already know that), it will happen again. He won't stop. Only way to make it better is to phone, get help. Do the next right thing. Sometimes that is all you can do.

Fabulouslyunfabulous · 13/12/2024 19:05

What would you say to your friend if this happened to them?

I know that you are very scared and also injured but you need to get out (carefully).

Are your children in the house?

Neveranynamesleft · 13/12/2024 19:06

He could kill you.
He could kill your children.
Get out of the house and ring the police while you still can.
