BellaOnline Forums Relationships Domestic Violence what should I do now?

Hi, I'm confused, afraid and dont know what to do. My husband is lost it this evening, he start screaming & smacking my boy hard just because he's asking to drink milk instead of sleeping. Once I saw him hit my boy, I straight away intervene and try to pull him but with no success. My screaming to get him away is not working and at one point he grab my arms and push me really hard. I'm scared now of what he capable of. I can still feel the stinks on my arm. Im afarid of him losing it in the future and hit me or the boya again. What should I do? I want my family, but at this point im totally confused. He still thinks that he's right and ask me yo say sorry to him. I refuse coz I dont want him to think this is acceptable. What should I do now? Is this the start of domestic violence? Thank you so much for listening to my story.

Call the police, call a women's shelter, call your parents, relatives...It is probably going to get worse. If he is abusing your child and something really bad happens, you knew about the abuse and can get charged too for allowing it to happen.

You are going to have to find a way to leave and to stay away from him. I know how difficult that is, I have been there myself. The abuse only escalates, it never gets better no matter what we do. He will probably apologise and say he will never do it again - he will do it again, and again. My ex husband was verbally abusive to me. I put up with it for a couple of years. But, the First time he was verbally abusive to my son, I took out a restraining order against him, and he was put out of the house. You will not believe how much happier you and your child will be, once you are away from him for good. I wish you the best. Please be careful, and don't tell him your plans.
