Husband put his hands on me for the first time in years
My husband used to be very abusive in our relationship back when I was 17 to 21 then when I had our second kid he just started to do better he’s been working on his anger and hasn’t put a hand on me since but then last night we got Into an argument I kept asking him to leave my room and he wouldn’t and I was getting over whelmed so I’d scream dat him to get out I don’t usually scream at people and he came rushing at me pinning me against the wall choking me screaming in my face not to scream at him and then I started having a panic attack and ran to the bathroom and he was shoving the door on me and I had to move before he slammed the door in me because he was starting to break it and then I was trying to call my parents and he threw my phone at some point he gave it back to me I was having a panic attack and crying and begging I think my parents came my dad took him outside and he came back in and just has given me my space since I don’t know what to do. He’s the most loving man and hasn’t hurt me in years he’s been really trying to change but I’m so scared. I took a nap and woke up and he was asleep on the couch and I started having another panic attack. Like can abusers really change do they have relapses like people who take substances? Am I just making excuses? Can someone who has been through this please help me? I’m 24 almost 25 now also thankfully my babies were not home at the time
