I got beat up by my husband tonite. He's sorry?

Bill

Call the police, they'll get you into a shelter.

No home is worth taking a beating for.

Or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), or hit their website at http://www.ndvh.org/

I was an EMT for eight years. I've treated broken bones, and other injuries from women who "fell" or "walked into a door," etc. Strange thing...they tend to get clumsier as the marriage gets worse.

Sometimes the kids get clumsy too.

You aren't stuck! You're right. He's sorry, but not apologetic! You should press charges. I wish they would give me five minutes alone with guys like this.

get out now

He WILL do it again

David J

Do you have kids? Do you have friends? Do you have family? If you stay and he beats you again...... how sorry will anyone feel for you? I don't agree with laying hands on a woman, but I put some of the blame on you if you stay and it happens again. Next time he might not be as nice, and could end up killing you. Good Luck

ever hear of motels? get out of there.

He doesn't want you to leave because then he would lose his punching bag.

Go to the police. But, be aware this could be only temporary, and even if he is imprisoned, it will probably be only for a short time, so you need to move fast.

Go to your family.

Go to your church, if you have one, as they often know of shelters and other help.

Call a Battered Woman hotline -- there will be a number in the front of your phone book, and probably a listing.

Go to Social Services -- they can help you set up a new life, and help with housing and a job.

You are not stuck. And you will be surprised, when you finally make that step -- AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT -- how easy it really was.

Call the police. Now. At the very least, make a report, and have a record of this. You're not stuck...after you call the police, call your best friend, or your mom.

Take good care.

Becca

okay....
your husband beat you up? I suggest calling 911 while you still have the bruises... NO ONE THAT DOES THAT LOVES YOU.

Go. And don't look back. If my husband hit me, I would not only divorce him, but take all of his savings.
Leave with dignity.

Why don't you kick him out?

call the police.... domestic violence is not worth it, no matter how much you like your house.

I would call the police and file charges first,then I'd file a restraing order against him.After that ,I'd contact a lawyer,then go from there.

Lady Albritton

Oh Lord. I hope there is some family member or friend that can eventually help you and if not...seek out church assistance or a womens shelter. I understand "liking your home", but your LIFE is most important and quality of life at that! You can buy another house, but you only live once...

Catlover

My mom delt with domestic vilonce they always say there sorry but if they do it repetedly there not , you need to find a domestic vilonce conciler in your area or call 911(serch domestic vilonce help on net) when hes beating you up if you have kids take them and leave he could hurt both you and the kids, even living in your car is better then suffering abuse , if you call a domestic vilonce hotline they can find a shelter for you where you'll be safe also they can transport you there if you dont want to do that call friends or family, because theres never a exscuse to Hit a woman EVER get out before it gets worst cuse belive me sister I,ve seen pictures it can get real bad, men can even kill there wifes .

Voice_Of_Reason

You need to act. Do NOT be the victim...again. It will only get worse.

You only have no place to go by YOUR CHOICE. You need to get out of this situation. You need to be strong and leave.

Please...be careful and be strong. This is not an easy situation, but you must do something!!!

Austin Powers

kick his sorry wife beating a s s out

dee

Hunny leave him any woman and every woman deserves better, what happens if you guys had kids what would stop him from beating them? nothing would... when i was growing up my mother was abused even before i was born and when i was we both were as well as my sibblings. Abuse is wronge no matter if he did or didnt mean it. if he loves you enough he would never put his hands on you and take that from someone who knows... It can really damage you for life.. leave him, you will find some where to go and you will get back on your feet. Taking this one chance and possibly having no where to go will be the decision you ever made cause you will recover. good luck! and if you need support remember your not alone

the_silverfoxx

the first answer is right and i agree with [bob] . as well on that to . my opon? also//

You should call the police! I don't know what state you live in but almost every state has shelters for women that have been abused.If you are going to stay try and put some money away.Get extra money for groceries and hide it.Put things away so next time you will be prepared,and there will be a next time there always is.Check the yellow pages and find a shelter near you and hide all the money you can.Be ready,when he does it again call the police and they will put him in jail,while he is locked up,move.If you want to take a chance on keeping the house you can ask the judge for an order of protection but he may not care!You should call the police and have him arrested and then run away!I'm sorry this happened to you or any woman.Not all guys are like that.Good luck.

aye!

leave him now call the cops they'll take him and he'll be locked for a long time charge him with assult call the cop he'll be out all you need to do is gather the money and leave go somewhere anywhere somewhere where he'll never think you you need to leave sew him for assult you'll get $$$ you'll get happiness =) and the best part is you'll never see him again get the money get a restrainig order just get out call the cops

GOOD LUCK!!!!.<3

nicki

I agree with Rob! Call the police! You do NOT desirve this!!

BTB{06.22.09}

Call the police!!!

T I

Liking you home most of the time, is not good. What a horrible feeling to feel stuck some where! You need to figure a way to get out. Getting a job, start moving things to a family members or friends house, ect.

Your county has services to help you get on your feet. Give them a call. Your phone book should have #'s listed right on 1st page or so. If you cant find them, call the ones below and they will help or refer you to right place. Good luck

Do you have any kids and do you want them to grow up thinking this is ok? Go to a shelter home or a church and ask for help! When someone hits you and says they are sorry they aren't and it will happen again. Sounds like you are thinking of reasons to stay. I have been married 15 years and if my husband hit me I would find somewhere to go. You dont deserve this and love is NOT violent. I had some major issues growing up because I saw my mom get hit by my dad and I promised myself that it will not happen to me. You deserve better and if you have kids ..so do they! Get outta there like a wild cat!

And for some of the people that said to stay and sleep on the couch or to go to a motel for a couple of days to make him re-think they are wrong!!! please get outta there! Alotof women that stay usualy end up dead.

Debra S

I have been there. I left with kids in tow, and not just once, twice!
I will not allow myself or my children to be abused by anyone. I would not stay, if I were you. If you are afraid to leave when he is there, then wait until he's at work. The police are very helpful and understanding. There are shelters now. When I left my first husband, there were only a very few, and most people thought if a husband was abusive, it was because you did something, not that he had problems. Mine would get drunk and beat me up because he felt like it.
It only gets worse.
If he doesn't go to therapy, he won't get better.
Get out of there before you get hurt or killed.

Don't take life 4 granted

hes a coward!u need to leave no one deserves being beat up excepially by the one that suppose to b the closest to u!there r places u can go!u may love ur home but is it worth all the pain?

jessie's girl

i would say call the police because its not fair for you to have to pay the price of being beaten just to stay in that house. and sure hes sorry now but you never know how long that will last...even just go stay at a friends house or a relatives house until you work it all out...

jmarie0322

Leave him. My husband started with a hard slap while I was pregnant, later down the road he thought it was okay to shove me into walls and throw me on the ground, and finally he decided that since I shoved him back on one occasion, he then had the right to punch me in the mouth and knock my tooth out. It wont stop hun, and I didn't believe it either but you have to know that he has no right to harm you. I left my husband and moved myself and my children in with my mother, it got easier everyday and I know I will never allow him to abuse me again. That's exactly what you're doing, you (just like me) let him get away with it and he'll do it again. I hope you can find somewhere to go. Good luck hun. Do what is best for you, not him.

lost confused girl

report it to the poilce he will be moved out f the house and fill for a divorce you and no one should have to live with that... if you dont want to do that go to a family members for awhile so he understands when your coming from

penelope

You know after reading your letter tonight, I thought about turning it over to Yahoo Security, but decided against it, and I hope I didnt make a mistake in not doing so? I work for battered and abused women and I can tell you this life your living isnt a life at all, you are being beat up by this so called man who claims to be your husband and you are letting him get away with it! You are stronger then him in lots of ways, so you must use your strength and have him arrested for domestic violence today! Dont fall for the Im sorry act, he,s not sorry at all! He hates himself and is taking it out on you, he thinks your a easy target and can get away with it, so show him your not gonna take it and call the police! If you dont I will! I dont tolerate any woman being abused and neither should you!

Green is the new RED!

You do have some place to go. Go to a woman's shelter and get the hell out of this relationship. Physical violence will only get worse. Get out! You can stay at a women's shelter until you can find a job if you don't have one and can get your own place. Surely you have family, even if they are out of state go there if you can. Wait until he goes to work and then leave. Call the police first, they will have a way to contact the women's shelter or can take you to the shelter. The phone number and address are kept secret for a reason.
