    A few days ago my teenage son started shouting at me as I was angry at at remark he made. My husband ran up the stairs took my toddler off me, gave her to my son, then pushed me onto the bed and whacked me across the back of my head 15 times. Ive been nervous in his company since. He also smacks the kids ( not the teenager)quite readily if they don't do what they are asked the first time. He would rather smack them to make them obey on time for him to watch his tv program. My head had been sore since and headaches stopped yesterday. What steps should I take to leave given that we are in huge negative equity and I work shifts. I want to leave.

    Can you go to a doctor and get checked out, be honest with the doctor on how you got your injuries. Its important to get this stuff documented.
    Have you any family that you can stay with if you decided to get the gardai involved.

    No I didn't go to the gp as I had to go on holidays with them the next day. I'm still away. I didn't want to disappoint the kids by not going or canceling. I can't bring myself to tell family. Was going to call gardai but didn't want them calling in squad car and uniform. Tnx.

    If you need to ask other peoples opinions you know in your own heart what to do next,you just need conformation,no person deserves to be treated in the way you describe regardless of what you've done,what sort of example is your husband setting for your teenage son?What happens the next time he "snaps"?Help is available if you need it through plenty of channels,personally I'd start by making my family aware of what happened and take it from there don't sit back and do nothing only you can force a change in you and your children's circumstances.
