      Contact your local women’s aid for support. My ex blamed alcohol but how come he only abused me. He could control himself around others so he knew it was wrong and he chose to do so. Google the cycle of abuse x

      If you’re not strong enough to keep him out of your life contact WA. Check out trauma bonding, that’s what’s maybe keeping you tied to him more than love. He’s playing the cycle of abuse, and while in the FOG of abuse, it’s very difficult to see through or past it. Well done in posting on here, it’s really early hard admitting to ourselves that we’re in an abusive relationship so take credit fir seeing it. These men will promise the world when they realise their hold on you is lessening, do not believe anything he says. My oh also threatened suicide after I left him, hea yet to do anything. If your partner tries that again call an ambulance, you’ll either get him the help he needs or professionals will see right through uim and it’ll be part if a paperctrail against him. He is a grown man, he is not your responsibility. Everything he says and does are his choices. Why does he do that by Lundy Bancroft explains why these men behave like this. We can’t fix them, just like we aren’t responsible for anyone else’s behaviour and choices they make.
      Keep posting and reading others posts, knowledge is power.

      I’m so sorry this has happened. You must have been so scared. It’s not your fault. Your abuser is at fault and has committed the crime. You now must keep this man away from you and your child at all costs. He’s very dangerous. Have you got support today for you and your child? X

      Hetty’s right. Please keep him out of your life. Call Women’s Aid. My ex is a violebt alcoholic and blamed everything on the drink and everyone else. They don’t change and you and your child deserve more.

      After many arrests, I eventually made a statement to the police and he got convicted. It was the best thing I ever did, otherwise he’d still be here. Not sure if I would though.

      Contact your GP and ask for counselling for the trauma you’ve been through. Don’t underestimate the mental damage he’s done. It can overwhelm you with flashbacks, nightmares, lack of sleep, knotted stomach (you need to force yourself to eat and drink). Your emotions will be all over the place as your brain tries to work through the trauma. Many of us are left with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I’m glad he’s in prison as it gives you a chance to heal. Hopefully he will have bail conditions when he’s released. You need to get your child some specialist counselling too so that this episode doesn’t affect her. We retain trauma and it’s bad for us so we need to process it, especially children x
