Hello Kylie, Yes, I would have to agree with Christina . You must look after yourself and your unborn child.Feel for your distress and anguish. As you have hinted ,your bofriend's behaviour, is ,at the very least, unpredictable and impulsive and at its worst downright dangerous, and you have been a victim. With hindsight,  for his own best interests as well as your safety, police 'should' have been called, but I know things are never so simple, so please don't think I am judgemental when I say this. Sometimes it is just imposible to act. More importantly for the future...Please take care! What I would add  is that although just now he is away from you, you should just try and put an emergency safety plan in place in case he enters your life again suddenly and misinterprets the situation in a dangerous way. Have phone numbers ready to contact. Maybe even a (prearranged)coded signal to a trusted friend  who could call emergency services fast on your behalf if you were alone and in danger with him.Perhaps get some professional advice about this? Your developing pregnancy might itself trigger irrational responses in him in his untreated psychotic state.   Sorry if I appear  alarmist here, but I believe it is best to have prepared for the worst, while hoping for the best, that is of course a healthy outcome for you and your baby!
