I think you should get out of there. There are lots of support groups out there for single moms. You need to get out of there for all 3 of you guys. I'd also suggest pressing some charges. if it is documented that he hurt you the chances of him getting custody of your son are must less likely. If you continue then your son is going to see that and think it is normal behaviour and do the same thing. You really need to get out of there while you can.
hey i had a cousin who was in a relationship like this and she didnt seek help even though she came to us late with her situation we filed a report with the police department he got arrested she went and dropped the charges on him behind our backs, she got pregnant for him but the beatings did not stop, she had her baby then one day they got into it when the baby was about 7 months he ended up grabbing the baby ( trying to hurt her by doing so) and he dropped the baby on her head and it wasn't by accident and beat her unconcious and we found the both of them hours later...so yes you need to GET OUT while you can cause its not going to get any better just because you clean up or cook trying to make him happy is THE WRONG ANSWER, seek help ASAP sweetie
Good Luck!!
Pm me. I'm not sure what side of San Antonio you are on but I have an aunt that lives there and works with many different charities that help women get away from situations like yours. She is off 1604 and I-10 but I know she works all over the city. I can call her tomorrow and see where she says you could go or get help from.
You need to get out. He is not stable and it will only get worse. He has no right to treat you this way.
You need to leave. I too am bi.polar and have mine under control but it sounds like your man is getting no medical help. He is not going to change until he realizes he is not functioning normal. Also he can't take the baby away. No.judge will give him custody if he is not seeking medical help for him being bipolar.
I am speaking from experience, i was in an abusive relationship as well, he would never let me leave either. So one night he beat me pretty good and i had told him that i needed to go and talk to a friend of mine. I promised him i wouldnt say anything about what had happened between us the night before. But i broke down as soon as i had got there. Our daughter was only just over a year old. We went to the police just to file a complaint, it ended up that they arrested him. He was being charged for 7 counts of assault against me but only convicted of one count. We had a no contact order for a year, he did get to see his daughter but exchanges were done at family and childrens services. So my suggestion to you would be to get out of there the first chance you have. Be creative on how you get out and i promise u that you will never regret it. I lived in that situation for ten years.
