      Hi I’m sorry as I don’t really know where to start.

      The other day my partner lost it , he banged and threw things, was shouting and swearing. I was stood behind my door which has a mirror on it and he came storming through it and almost sent me flying. He’s said he’s sorry and he’s stressed and that he wants to get help but I’m worried about it happening again and don’t really know what to do

      Hi Sabel,

      First welcome to the forum. I hope you find this a safe and supportive place to be.

      Understandably you are shook up from this experience and feeling anxious that it may happen again. There is no excuse for your partner’s violent outburst.

      Along with getting support from the other women here on the forum, it may be useful for you to be able to talk things through with your local domestic abuse service who will understand and be able to provide both emotional and practical help and advice.

      That said, do keep posting here to let us know how you are.

      Take care,

      Lisa

      Hi Sabel, welcome and sorry to hear of this horrible experience. When I very first came here it was after a specific incident and the lovely people here recommended a book by Lundy Bancroft called ‘why does he do that’, you can find pdf versions free or buy a copy but it opened by eyes to all the other behaviour that made me uncomfortable or I’d been making excuses for which are also abuse, hope it helps you
