I need someone to tell me I’m not over reacting… we were on our way back from the hospital with our two sleeping children in the back one almost two and the other is barely 2 months old after being born at 29 weeks. He got pissed because I had asked him what his plans were future wise when it came to his living situations. We aren’t technically together but he came to Texas when I had complications during the pregnancy and is from Virginia originally. In order to figure out baby sitting and what I can do for work I needed to know if he’d be here in Texas or if he planned to go back to Virginia and fight me for our son ( we already fought over our daughter the oldest and I won physical custody) I have a video that I can’t post but I’ll explain. I asked and he instantly became defensive and it escalated to where he turned to radio all the way up to drown me out. Me being worried about the children would not stop and I continuously tried to turn the music down. Over and over and over. Every single time I even reached for the knob he would slap my hand, wrap his palm and fingers around the back of my hand and squeeze until my knuckles ground together and popped, and lastly let go of the steering wheel to drive with his knee so he could grab my forearm with one hand and my right hand with the other and then press my entire hand pointing down palm going in toward my wrist. It only lasted a second or two but it hurt so bad my mouth was open in a silent scream. There was also another time where he got physical. We were again in the car and I had yawned and he decided to shove his finger down my throat so naturally I bite down out of reflex. Well my brain keeps trying to rationalize that what happened next was his reflex, he popped me in the face with the back of his hand. There’s a lot of other details but these are the only two times he’s gotten physical with me. He terrifies me when it comes the kids he really does and it’s getting to were I can hardly sleep. He’s so rough and mean to our baby boy and he’s so quick to lose his temper but he refuses to let me do anything for him. It’s like parental alienation but right in front of me. I can’t leave or kick him out just yet because we’re fixing to get evicted and I have no where to go just yet.
