The first time he hit me my baby was 5 weeks old and I think he thought he now had control of me. He didn't show signs of this before. I had just put the baby down and he'd come in from the pub. He started having a pop at me, can't remember what about, so I said 'I'm not listening to this' and went to walk out the room....so he ran and punched me in the face....and broke my cheek bone.
It's as basic as that....
It's def control...I had a tiny baby and a business with him and I think he thought I'd never leave.
