He put my baby in danger today...
| Sat, 09-16-2006 - 2:25pm |
We were fighting. I was crying. He had my daughter with her this morning, pulled the car up to the house, walked to the house door with her still in the car to give me coffee. Raged at me and stormed out the door. I cried. Luckily I looked outside after a few minutes - there she was all alone in the car - he had left her in the car on the street and stormed off and driven another car away. He didn't tell me. If I had not looked up she would have been in that car for God knows how long on the street!!!! I ran to hurt she was drenched in sweat. It is 80 degrees here and he had her in long pjs with feet and a sweater - all the windows closed. I hate him. I hate him. I can't find my credit card but I have a little cash and am going to leave the house now. I will come back another day to pack. I know someone suggested a shelter but I am embarrased. We have been on tv and I feel like everyone knows us. Made a scene in front of the neighbors again I am sure. My daughter by the way is just a baby. He left my baby in the car. Thanks for listening.

Do not feel embarrased to leave the house and his abusiveness. He is the worst thing for you and the baby. You need to leave now and not go back to him. He will persuade you and persuade you to go back to him. Do not believe any of it. He will not change his ways, he is not sorry and he will do it again. It is only going to get worse and worse if you continue to stay with this man. He is evil.
Go to a shelter. You will be safe there. You are in danger and that is where you will be safe. If you do go back to the house and pick more stuff up, you MUST and I mean MUST bring someone with you. Call the police, and get a police officer to go with you to the house. He is dangerous and you cannot go back to the house alone. You might feel embarassed to do that, but please try not to. It is the best thing to do.
I totally understand if you feel very ashamed and embarassed. I have too been in your shoes. I was terrifed when I left the house. I had no idea what to expect. But I did know one thing. It was the best thing for me and I knew I made the right choice no matter how hard it was for me.
Please take my advice. Good Luck to you. Keep us posted.

Don't be embarrassed to go to a shelter. That's what they are there for. They understand, and will protect your privacy.
It's doubly important to get out if he is abusing your child. Not to try to scare anyone, but some states consider it a crime if a child is in an abusive situation and the other parent doesn't take steps to remove the child. Meaning, it is possible in some states to be charged with a crime if you stay and keep your child in that situation! And you don't want that- your child needs you.
The shelter is where you absolutely need to go. They will help you get a police escort to go back and get your stuff- DON'T go alone, as the other poster said. Stay safe, and do keep us posted.
Sam, please, on your daughter's life report this to the police.
Sam, I know you may have calmed down & may think its harsh, but what he did COULD HAVE KILLED YOUR BABY! I am an L&D/Pedi RN.
