I spoke to my mum. She is furious but insists I should go to A&E. He won't take me, I don't want to waste the time for an ambulance and my foot.

Tomorrow we will be fine,

Waste your time?
Not only is your foot broken.
So is your marriage.

DON'T run away.

I'd get out before he does more physical or emotional damage. I had a boyfriend for 6 years who was never abusive. Until one day he picked up body slammed me on a basement floor. I wish that I'd taken my friends advice and gone to stay with her instantly instead of staying with him while I found a new place of my own. I stayed another month and he didn't physically hurt me again but he began to emotionally abuse me with every insecurity I'd ever trusted him with. It took me years to get over the damage I allowed him to inflict.

Please, Hun... it's their job! The ambulance or the police. You are not wasting their time at all, that's why they exist, to help.

Just call either service (ambulance or police). Again, don't overthink it, you will have plenty of time for that later if you wish. You don't want to spend unnecessary time in pain, they can totally fix your foot and evaluate the situation better than you probably can right now.

If you let this go because you don't want to upset the family, that's your choice. But what are you going to do when the next time its your daughter he physically harms?

Or when your daughter grows up and condones the same type of treatment from someone who "loves" her?

Call the ambulance--please!

If your foot still hurts so bad you can walk, go to the ER now. Think of your daughter, is that an example you want to set for her, it ok a man kick or hits you!!!!! File a report, take pictures of your foot and toes..... He might a said I'm sorry now, but what about next time, will he break your arm or push you down the stairs..... Get some help now......

This is scary.

If he'd hurt your daughter, would you have taken her for help?

If you need to take the responsibility off yourself but want the help of authorities, Go to emergency department. When questioned how you were injured, simply tell the truth. It is then out of your hands. They are obligated to report these things.

I'm so sorry you are going through this.

I am not in the healthiest relationship myself. But I am in the process of changing how I react to the action. I am finding a bit of success with this tactic.

When he is calm and this only works when both parties are calm and not screaming at each other. Tell him you'd like to be heard no interruptions until you are through and then he can have his turn.

Now tell him to imagine you are talking about your future son in law, (daughters future husband). Now calmly detail the events. I have found that this method of illuminating the extent of how badly he is acting to be very powerful.

I want my daughter to know this is not ok. I don't know what to do for the best though.

Hubby is maintaining I need to drive to the hospital but I can't z- my foot is so swollen I can't put any pressure on it.

Call a taxi/cab if you don't want an ambulance.

He is the only one that will be "fine" tomorrow, because he has got away with beating you and traumatizing your daughter without any consequences.

This is not "fine" ... not under ANY circumstances. Please heed the advice that has been given. Call an ambulance and report the incident to the police. I beg you to do that, for yourself and for your dear, innocent daughter.

Have you applied the ice Needinghelp? Won't do much for a broken bone but it will help with the swelling.
