ExBF locked D in a room last night, and when I came out to see why she was shreiking, I found him using a lint brush on a jacket, very calmly. I asked if he could get her (didn't show him I was freaked out) and he said no. He said, "I told her I'd come back." And so I went and got her. She was shaking and threw up on me.
Just wondering - was he trying to get her to go to sleep by training her to be alone in the room, and promising he'd come back in a little while? If that was the case, doesn't seem like a bad approach, but you both have to be on the same page. On the other hand, if he just got overwhelmed and locked her away cause he couldn't deal, that's another matter.
As for him saying he might lose his job - how do you know he hasn't already? I've been suspicious of that for a while.
