I'm so sorry that this happened to you hon. These things really pull the rug out from under us when they happen. There are so many different emotions that run through us and thoughts that make our minds race.

As always and well stated above, safety for you and your child are #1 on your priority list. I think setting a clear boundary with your husband about what you expect from him moving forward is in order. Maybe take a few days/nights away to give both of you some breathing space might help. It will give you the opportunity to look into anger management, therapy (for both of you, separate or together), safe houses, and concrete plans for safety in the future.

The only way you will be able to tell if your husband really did slip up and is truly remorseful is that he agrees to anger management and therapy and doesn't make excuses not to go to the appointments. Remember......actions speak louder than words at this point.....they spoke very loudly last night didn't they

Be well dearest.....I'm thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers!
