Oh Annie, I so feel for you.

My daughter is in the process of going through a divorce.Quickest rid the better!

But I can so see him getting heavy handed, and my grandson ,who is only 3,standing up to him.Daughter still feels that he still has to be involved with the kids. But he has just become a dad again ,with new partner!
Hope that she finds someone new , and realises that ex is not worth the hastle.

Hope that your daughter does okay!

I hope she is going to be strong and press charges.If she lets him get away with this then it gives him the message that she accepts anything he wants to do.
Hope she & her boys are OK.

(what a horrible man ) he aint no MAN

Hope every-ones OK,
the kids must have been horrified,
that something they will never forgive there father for.

I was there over twenty years ago, thank god there is much more help today then there was then.Your all in my thoughts and prayers.

I think she not only needs to press charges but to get a restraining order on him too. Also, what a terrible thing for those poor boys to witness, someone will need to sit down with them and explain how what happened was wrong, there could be violent outbursts from them if they think it's normal behaviour especially if it's traumatised them.

Sorry to hear about this and sending her the strength to get through prosecuting this animal. He has no right to be involved with those children if he could do that in front of them.

I would imagine it isn't the first time this person has kicked off, so the boys might already know a little of what happens in the family. I hope they get lots of support and also your daughter Annie, and that the ex gets all he deserves and more.

You don't half get some hassle with your family, you must be fed up with it all.

Hi Annie so very sorry for your daughter but even more sorry for those poor boys who had to witness it.
Having been in that position many years ago, I hope they lock 'him' up and throw away the key !!!
Poor you too, nothing worse than being helpless when your kids are being hurt. Sending you and your daughter and the boys loads of positive stuff.

With domestic violence the police take it out of your hands and you have no say whether you prosecute or not.My daughter had her friend round looking at her 2 baby pups born on sunday night when one of the boys let him in.He threatened her friend as well and she was the one that called the police.At the mo he is still in the police station. Annie

Another case of a violent husband, how often do we see it ? Any man who hits a woman is a bully and a coward, and deserves to be imprisoned.Len..

Sadly he will probably be out within 24 hours.... please get her to speak to the police station and make a condition of bail that he can't contact her or come within 100 ft of her.

That way if he does they will arrest him immediately

Sorry to hear this Annie. Hope your daughter isn't in too much pain,horrible experience for her and in front of her boys.

Agree 100% with Len

What b......ds some men are!

And what a worry for Mums and Dads of the poor girls who suffer at their hands.

Sorry to hear this Grannie...hope your daughter will be ok in every respect,

Frank I am sure you would accept there is a difference between a swift open handed slap across the face given in anger at finding out about an affair ( maybe that might be excusable ) .... and the the sort of blow that breaks someones nose!

no Lynda, it isn't ever excusable really but I can understand the former being a one off 'slip' (having a quick temper myself) .... the latter is that step beyond ...never excusable in any circumstance...

I have never forgotten the little girl (maybe 18) who stayed late in my shop one evening with her baby....she showed me her arms and chest covered in bruises.... "he loves me really...only hits me when he's drunk"...

I called around and got her a place for the night with women's refuge...next day she was back with him...I often wonder if she had the strength to get out.

I would never give anyone a second chance to hit me I have to say.

There was a old song in the East End of London years ago.entitled 'Bash me again Bill'. Cant remember it, but it inferred that she knew he loved her if he bashed her.

What a funny slant on life?

Lynda,
I assume you have not had your husband cheat on you. Don't judge peoples response to being cheated on after 18 years of marriage. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT.
