help!

My boyfriend pushed me down two nights ago with all his strength when I was asking him why he was upset. I'm almost 9 weeks pregnant with his child and I cried the minute I hit the floor. He went to sleep and acted like nothing happened. (This is the second time he's pushed me down while I've been pregnant). Just yesterday I tried to talk to him about all this when he physically abused me. He choked me, pushed me againsy objects in the house leaving me bruised and scratched up. He has always over powered me so the only thing I was able to do was bite him and kick him. My sister came home later that day to find me all covered up and she made me take my clothes off so she could see the cuts and bruises. Her and my stepfather want to press charges against him but im not sure if I should. Because I always loved him. But I don't want my child to be born into an abusive situation and I don't want anymore close calls of having a miscarraige. What would be the best thing for me to do?

It is good that every body has thought over the subject and gave you practical advice. It is true that man is repentant and changes his ways after the first incidence,It is likely that he may change for better. As it is second time and that too when you are pregnant, it is definite that he is a gone case. Pleas heed to the advice of community members.

get out of the relationship...fast! im only 16..but i know what your going through. my dad used to beat my mom, he has problems with it with all relationships he's been in. he caused my mom to have a miscarriage from beating her. i grew up seeing it and i have a hard time with it. one day when he was drunk in front of all their friends when he was beating her he looked at me and told me he was going to kill her. my mom left him when i was 3 or 4, but im traumatized for life. i do have contact with him, but i promise you it's not worth it for you. he's either going to end up killing you and or your baby, or worse, your baby will have serious problems from seeing it if he continues it. if you cant even talk to him then it means he either cant be helped or just doesn't want it. please leave him. you're in my prayers!

Leaving him may be only Part I of solving your problem. You have to ask yourself why you allowed yourself to be abused when you could have so easily run for the hills. If you do not address this issue you might well find yourself in some other abusive situation in the future.

Please left this abuser. I was in the same situation, pregnant when the abuse escalated. Because I was in ill health, had several surgeries, and left my job because of this, I felt I had nowhere to go. My mother was dying, so I did not even mention the abuse to my family. I wish I had left then, because years later, I almost died because of this sick abuser. You have to break the cycle of abuse. Social Services, the YWCA indeed can help. Please press charges. Go to your State's Attorney's office and file a restraining order (at no charge to you) You need to have a paper trail showing you took proper action to stop this abuse , otherwise you will not have a prayer in court. Go to a shelter. You're in my prayers!

Please leave.  You and your child deserve better.  Please press charges, get a restraining order, contact your local YWCA and Social Services.  There are many options for you and your unborn child, options that won't keep you dependent on him for shelter or finances.  Give your child a chance.  This man will continue to hurt you and actually he is already abusing your child.  My prayers are with you.  Please leave.

Please leave.  This will not get better.  You must protect you and your child.  You need to file a report because keep in mind he has rights to your child.  You may be able to make them supervised.  It is to protect the both of you.  You have done nothing wrong!  I am proud of you!

That's exactly what I've been thinking as well. I want what's best for my child and if that means getting the father out of my baby and my life then I will take every precaution that I must!
