[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, weird jump to calling his mother after 11pm to talk some sense into him. What???[/quote]

If you've ever been on the spot like this, often the first thing you think of is calling a family member for help. [/quote]

No... That would be the police. Someone beats your ass and you say, wait, I'm going to call your momma? [/quote]

Yes. Actually... you don't want your H in jail, or to lose his job and most likely he does not want his parents to know he hits his wife so you call HIS mom or his brother. [/quote]

Domestic violence survivor here -  yes.  That could easily be your first reaction.  If you've never been in an abusive relationship, you can't possibly understand.  The OPs husband didn't just decide to start being abusive today. It starts gradually typically with emotional and verbal abuse.  You feel like you have no power.  My ex threatened to disappear with my children.  It is usually a gradual process.  I ended up in the ER.  I have no doubt my ex would have eventually killed me.

OP- If you can't call the police, take pictures of your face. Call your local domestic violence hotline but do not let your husband find out.  They will help.  You can leave.  They will show you how to do it safely.  Clear your computer history so that he does not see this thread.

If you feel threatened right now, call the police or take your child and leave.   Stay with a friend or go to a hotel,  Do not stay in that house if you feel like you are in danger.[/quote]
