      I’m so sorry this is not healthy and I’ve been here I have many children too but I thought the behaviour was normal or let it slide I found out he was emotionally cheating I will leave now you must speak to a domestic support worker in your area only if you feel comfortable though (detail removed by Moderator)  so find a way to leave I’ve been here he nearly broke one of my limbs and hit me in jaw I let him off every time then I decided to get him to leave if he dosent go I will

      Strangulation is one step away from murder. It’s on the list of risk assessments questions the police ask if they’re called. This man is extremely dangerous. He’s not a good father at all. A man who strangles the mother of his children is a danger to them. Please call the national domestic abuse helpline or your local womens aid for support. Talk to your GP and get his abuse noted. It will help you in future as it will be documented. Start a secret journal too. I’d send emails to myself of incidents. Reach out to family or friends you can trust. Abuse always gets worse. Have you read Living with the Dominator by Pat Craven?

      I’d also ring the police, the domestic abuse unit and talk to them. Or you can make an appointment and visit with support. Don’t discuss anything with your partner. Abusers are liars and manipulators. The very first time he abused you he gave you permission to leave x
