You say he's still threatening you and trashing your house...for goodness sake, report him to the authorities, and keep reporting him until something is done. He's not only bad news, he's extremely dangerous; he's already proven that. And so is his family! They condone violence against women. That's probably where he learned it. But you are still in danger, so reach out in your community for resources that are available to you. The Women's Domestic Violence Helpline in Western Australia is: 9223 1188 or 1800 007 339

And Andy, don't EVER believe that his behaviour is "out of character"...he is sadistically violent. I won't speculate about why, because what's most important here is your safety. Lean on your family for support (though I am asking what was your mother thinking when she dropped you off at his house, knowing full well how violent he was). And nurture your friendships. Your family and friends are your first line of defense, they are your support system. But first and foremost, do what you must in order to stay safe. Call the DV Helpline. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
