What can I do

[Penguin]

Hi I signed up today due to an incident (detail removed by Moderator) however I’ll give a little background. I have been with my husband for (detail removed by Moderator) now and looking back the emotional abuse started from the beginning. Ultimatums between him and my friends, aggressive arguments belittling comments, threatening to come into my place of work. I was young and very niave. It has not gotten better when my dad died (detail removed by Moderator) ago he would say he loved him more than me, I have lost count how many times I have been called a c**t a disgrace and pinned against a wall. We had a son (detail removed by Moderator) and I stupidly thought his behaviour would become better. He has pinned me against a wall while I was holding baby shouted at me at 4 in the morni waking baby and this week I’ve finally had enough. 3 arguments later, culminating in (detail removed by Moderator). He went out for a drink after work. He comes home all fine then at (detail removed by Moderator) he puts the tele on, I tell him not to as it could wake the baby I guess that was my mistake. He lost it, pinned my head down on the pillow( with babe in arms) grabs baby off me kicks me in the ribs threatens to kill me and bury me, to shoot me, to take our child and I will never see him again. It’s endless and I’m sorry for such a long post. What I’m asking is what can I do now? I need to leave and for him not to find us or for him to never have unsupervised time with our son. I don’t care about the house I don’t want anything from him. I need help

Hey penguin

This is an awful situation you’re in, and very dangerous. Can you phone the helpline asap. They’ll point you in the right direction. Have you got any family that you and your child can stay with tonight?

Please try to call xx

You can ring the helpline number on here. Find your local womens aid and go and see them. Ring the police on 101 and ask for the domestic abuse section. Can you take your child to a friend or family member. You could get a place in a refuge menatime for your own safety. He sounds very dangerous so do not tell him you want to leave as this is when they are really dangerous. His abuse is appauling and to do that when youre holding your baby is truely disgusting. As you know, things will only get worse. There is lots of help out there for you x

None of this is your fault. Just because you ask someone not to put the tele on, they have no right whatsoever to abuse and assault you, He is totally responsible for his own disgusting behaviour.

Hi Penguin,
First of all I would like to welcome you to the forum. It is good that you have shared some of your story, and I am sorry for what you and your baby are going through. You certainly do not deserve this and it is not your fault. There is never any excuse for abusive behaviour, and what you have described is extremely abusive and you and your baby are at risk. As Dragonfly and KIP have said, you need to get help and report what has happened. You need a safe place to go and the National Domestic Violence Helpline on 08082000247 are available 24/7. If you do not get through straight away, please do leave a message and a safe time to call back.
However, I would say that you need to get away from your husband as a matter of urgency. What you have described is not just a physical assault on yourself, but also puts your child at risk and is child abuse.
You can call the police on 101 and report this incident. If you are in danger and frightened, please do not hesitate to call 999. The police will help you to get to a place of safety. If you do not want your husband to have unsupervised access to your son, this intervention will be valuable to show the level of risk.

Please call the helpline at any time and let us know how things are once you are able to do so safely.

Best Wishes
Lisa
