I dont want to come on and moan here but i am on my own and my sister isn't answering her phone.
My dp just came in off the 10.07pm bus, he has been out sinse 1.45pm bus, he went out to watch the football. none of this i have a problem with btw.
He was with a friend who only reciently (sunday passed) spit up with his partner. They were our friends. Have been together for 6 years and i was friends with the girl for a lot longer.
ANYWAY he called me at about 9 saying he was catching the bus, would i like anythinig brought in to eat. I said just some aero bubbles(lol) and we need dogfood.
Sooo he came in steaming drunk, and lay on the sofa and fell asleep (within ten minutes). I said ' why dont you go to bed and sleep' He started shouting and bawling at me, saying he just had a good night why am i ruining it blablabla, i just said he should go to bed??
He covered his face with a cushion from the sofa, so i asked him to stop being ignorant, and he said to me that i was a crazy bitch just like 'name' (our friend thats partner just left her) I was like WHAT THE FECK and puled the pillow off his face and asked him what he meant by that.
I was kneeling at the side of sofa when i pulled the pillow away and he sat up and pushed me to the floor, lay on top of me and held his forarm over my neck, untill i gagged.
Then went back to the sofa, lay down and covered his head with the pillow again.
I stood up and said 'get out' and he said no, so i said well i am taking ds and going. he said fine. I went and packed a bag, came through to say he better be gone by the time i am back in the mroning, he grabbed my hair and threw me to the floor again. My face is all red and my nose is bleeding, my head is banging from the hair pulling and cracking on the wooden floor.
I kicked him, where it hurts for a man, i know i shouldnt have, but i was on my back on the floor and he was over me, it was the first reaction i had. He walked out the house. but he has left his bank card, mobile, wallet, keys all here on my unit.
I also havent heard the security door buzzer going off/ but hes been out about 30 mins. he was really drunk, like slurring his words drunk.

Our ds is 8 months old. he has left before and we are only just getting back on track. He lives 30 miles away but was planning on moving in here again - he moved out when we split up before.

What a lot has happened since I first read your post last night! Good for you for standing up for yourself and calling the police - not an easy step to take, but he needs to know that it's not ok to beat you up, no matter how drunk he is. Hope to hear today that you're ok and that he's apologised. Or in custody.

Thinking of you Im glad you sound 'up' this morning. What are you going to do when he appears today, which he will do surely?

I hope you tell him to get lost, I think you are worth more than him!

Hi Holly, I'm glad to read that you were OK this morning. How are you this afternoon?

Just seen this, glad you are ok and well done for being so strong! Don't let him talk you round, you and your son deserve better.

Hey everyone.

Thanks for alll the support on Saturday and Sunday.

It has been strange the past few days.
He posted his keys like i asked and spent a while syaing sorry on the otherside of the door, but i ignored him.

I think it has been easier everyday. We haven't spoken at all. He came to get his things and that was that.

I have found it strange without having him financially here. the electric cut off yesterday, i have a prepayment meter though and got money from my mum to put it back on and have been to the job center to sort that out. I even have organised an interview tomorrow (!!) for a support worker. I worked in a nursing home part time while i studied before ds came along. Sooo fingers crossed for me I feel so poor lol!

I thought i'd just update you all on how things were comin along.
