abuse

Idk what to do. I love my boyfriend so much but he beats me and I'm 5 months pregnant and if he beats me now I'm scared of what he would do if I wasn't pregnant but it really only happens whenwe fight which isn't that often and when we aren't fighting we are best of friends I'm scared to leave because I love him and I'll be on my own

I was living with my babies father up until I was three months and he punched me in the face and gave me a big black eye I still get scared being around him, and I deff don't want my son around him and my unborn baby. You need to leave him its not worth losing your child over.

I grew up with my mom being beaten half to death almost every day. Then he went insane and held us hostage in the house for days,  shooting out the neighborhood,  trying to do death by cop. We snuck out when he was too drunk to hardly function.
Don't risk your child seeing their beloved mother suffer,  and don't let your child suffer.
I seriously feel for you.. I wish you all the strength.

Its gonna suck to leave him but would u really risk your little bundle of joy to be harmed or even worse killed by the abuse , no man should ever put his hands on a woman,  you might be on your own but there are plenty independent woman raising there children it will be hard but no one deserves to be abused and treated that way ... goodluck

Honey that isn't love!you can do better on your own.I was in a abusive relationship before this boy (because man don't hit women) hit me while I was sleep his first and was his last because I was don't! You have to go some where safe so you and your baby can be safe.If u need to talk or anything inbox me I will do my best to help you.This break my heart don't like that.I make my husband mad all the time I am 9 and a half weeks and I have a month on me and he never put his hands on me or even yell at me because he know this is not me rite now.I said that to say
there is no reason for him to put his hands on u at all.Maybe while you are in a safe place he can go get some help for his anger it is coming from some where.I really hope to hear from you again I am very worry about you at this point.

I know its a scary thought to start over and be a single mom. Take it from someone wgo watched their mother get beat on EVERY SNGLE DAY.....you do not want ur baby to witness thataan if you don't get out now...ur little one will suffer, my mom left my dad when I was 6 I still have nightmares, I have major trust issues when it comes to men,my early childhood memories are distributing due to witnessing such horrible things. And the ling term effects it will have on u are just as bad. Take the advice from all these ladies get out asap for ur sake and ur child's. If getting says hell change and trys to get u back don't listen itll only get worse, a proven statistic is most women who don't get out and stay gone ...they end up dead. Praying for you girl you can do this get out and never look back.

Don't depend on him!!! That's where he has you. Please, trust me. I was in a sexual abuse relationship... And he was taking care of me... And everything. It only took me til I left for bootcamp to realize I NEED BETTER!!! You need better. You deserve better. Do not depend on a guy who will hurt you, and your baby!

You should definitely get out of that relationship.  If he really loves you he wouldn't hit you. You love him and its understandable but why be with someone u love and doesn't love you back. He might say he does but a man will show you by being loving and sweet not beating u, that's something you do to someone u hate. That should tell you something.  And please get out asap without telling him just act normal call in one day so he's at work and u leave. Go to ur parents if u have to or any relative at least until ur better with money,  im sure they will help you if you let them know what he's doing to u. One main reason u should leave is because u have to think about that beautiful baby u have, he can end up hurting the baby now or after its born and if that happens u and him will go to prison for harming a child even though u won't be hurting ur child,  ur still there and allowing it to happen.  There's many cases of child abuse and the mother usually allows it or she's afraid to leave but if anything happens to the baby even death u and him will definitely go to prison. And u would have wished u got out sooner.  This is me and these other women telling you to get out. Change ur cell phone number and don't let him know where ur going at all. He's abusive and if u keep letting him in ur life ull be vulnerable to fall for his lies. Don't stay. And don't worry about his rights as a father he will definitely not be able to see that child because he's already beat u while pregnant.  Make sure u have proof. If not ur family and friends can testify also. God bless you and your baby.  Do the right thing sweetie.

Its gunna suck for a little while no matter how you leave him. But you need to! You dont want your baby seeing that. If you have a boy hes gunna think thats okay to hit women. If you have a girl shes gunna go out and look for women beaters because that's how she thinks its supposed to be. Its really not a good situation and im sorry youre going through this but there are plenty of men who will treat you AND your kids right! And there's nothing wrong with being independent. :) you could always stay in a shelter until you can save enough money to get a small apartment. Its not ideal but its a roof over your head and a guaranteed meal every day. There are people who can help you. Please do whats right for you and your baby! Good luck!

You guys are right. I just have no where to go. That's the problem. We both have jobs but he makes most of the money because I'm still in college so I can't work much and he has a good job. Idk how I'll find a place I'll have no money

Someone who truly lived you would not hit you like that. Get help and get out. What if he starts to bet your child later?

Sweetheart that's not love , no matter how much u care for him. He doesn't care about ur wellbeing of your baby . I'm 7 months and had to leave my boyfriend 2 months ago because of physical fighting. ITS NOT WORTH IT. Your better off alone then with a man like that.  You deserve better and one day u will get it, but being with him will only hold you back .... I had to think about it this way. If he does this now then imagine after u have the baby , that man will abuse u in front of ur child because if he's done it once he willdo it again. Is that anyway for ur cchild to grow up? U have the think about the baby more then the love u think u have for him

No man that loves you would do that!  Sometimes we have to be strong and walk away for something amazing to happen.  Your no longer just caring for yourself but for your unborn child.  There's a man out there that is perfect for you and gonna love you. A  man that lays a hand on a women isn't a man at all.

Hun I can understand you love but no man should ever put his hands on a woman specially when she's pregnant with his child who's to say he wouldn't hurt the baby when he or she is here ??? You need to leave before something bad happens being single parent can be hard but you can make it :)
