Where do I go from here?

My ex Adam and I had been together for 12 years. Back in 2012 we had a bad argument which turned into him almost killing me for kicking him out and throwing his clothes over the balcony in front of his company. We did get back together years later, but things haven't been right lately. He's been coming home at sunrise and always has be gone, never wanting to spend time with me, only on the weekdays but when the weekends comes he always has plans to do something else. Well this weekend was my last straw, I told him I'd had enough and I needed a break, I would pack his clothes and bring it to a family meme we whom I'd dropped him off too earlier during the day. He ended up coming back the next morning sooooo drunk came through a window and started to choke me, had me bound by the wrist until a family memembr came to my defense . I was done with the relationship at that point bc it brought me back to what happened years earlier when I almost died. He ended up leaving and then afterwards my mother tells me that my 5 year old told her that he's afraid of him and that he hit him bc he wet the bed. I confirmed this with my 5 year old. So now I know I definitely don't want him around my child anymore, and I know that it will never work, but I'm am torn with guilt feeling that if I wouldn't have brought his clothes to someone else house outside, he wouldn't have done what he did, basically I feel as though it's my fault, and I'm worried about him bc he has no car, no reliable way to get to and from work other than me, and I feel like I ruined his life. I'm so confused hurt and sad, I want this to be ok, and I love him a lot but we just are two different people and I can't have my child around someone he's afraid of , he says I didn't have to touch his things and I admit that was wrong of me and immature I should calmed down and handled things better, but I don't think I deserved that. What do I do now? My mind is telling me to let go no contact but my heart is saying help him it's your fault ?

@TinySun586,
Go to the cops. Go directly to the cops. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200.

Ferchrissakes, this guy has tried to kill you. Your child is afraid of him, and has been hit by him. He breaks windows. He has no sense of self-control.

Next time, you or your child may not be so lucky.

Your feeling that you are worried about him or ruined his life or some other such nonsense is the kind of crap that abusers feed their victims ALL. THE. TIME. It is a classic sign of being an abuse victim, to care more about the abuser's well-being or comfort or happiness than preventing them from hurting you.

If you cannot do this for yourself, then do this for your child. You do not want your child to grow up afraid of people who supposedly love them. You do not want your child to be permanently injured.

Call your family and tell them the whole truth. Ask to live with them and move your stuff out and go (why not stay in your place? Because you need people around you and your ex can apparently come and go as he pleases there. It is not safe for you or your child). Block him on ALL forms of social media. Change phone numbers and locks.

And for God's sake, call the police. Because your love does not give him a free pass to smack you around. It does not give him permission to hurt your kid. You may be afraid or think you deserve it or you are not worthy of love or I don't know what.

But if you have any sense of protection about your own flesh and blood, then make the damned call so your child grows up with a mother. And with both eyes. And without burns on their body. And without fractures. And without thinking this is somehow okay.

Because it NEVER is.

@TinySun586,
Why don't you girls have yet extinguished these guys in the past 200 thousand years eh? That is the question that hammers my head all the time I read these sort of posts...
...if you keep having kiddos from them the problem won't go away in the next 200 either!

You are a Saint...I lose patience with these events. Not less shocked than you...its not like we have to walk more then 2 pages on the web to know what to do...why do ppl keep asking and why do we have to repeat it a 1000 times ?
I abject/detest domestic violence but I abject even more those who alow it to happen...call me insensitive...maybe its exactly the opposite....

@TinySun586,
Also, being abused messes with your head in a big way. And sometimes you just want to hear directly from someone what to do, or even tell them what happened, maybe even as a form of validation, to show that you're not overreacting.

You are not overreacting, I assure you.

I know who I am well enough. Not ashamed one yota.
I wish there were more, blunt, honest, not coward, people like me and the world would be way better. My way of caring goes with exigence not pats in the back. I am surely not regretting it one bit.

(I have been gentle enough to avoid talking on Darwin awards till now)
