He beats me

The father of my child is staying with me on house arrest.  Whenever he gets mad he beats me. Not hitting my stomach he doesn't leave bruises or marks but it's causes pain. He is also verbally abusive.  My question is alot of times he slams me on the bed and that's the only thing I'm really concerned by. Is that harmful to my son? He can beat me all he wants just as long as my baby is OK. I only have 9 days til my due date.

I don't understand why you stay with him are you not living with your mom anymore. You were Sooooo strong. You gave advice to other women saying f#$k the guy snag that you'll do it on you're own off you have to and now you saying that you need him. Isn't this the same guy that didn't care enough to go to any of your doctors appointment or check on you. He bought a new car and outfit instead of anything for the baby. You says that you will protect you're son no matter what.well that includes while her is inside of you.

Ive been in your situation..although I wasnt pregnant....im sure you love him..because I adored my ex even though he hit me...with a baby involved your situation is much worse.....im sure your thoughts are that it will get better...but it wont...it can only get worse..you have to let him go.obviously hes not happy and doesnt love you or he wouldnt do this to you.he is by no means a real man.i will also be praying for you.you have to find the strength within yourself to let him go!!

You NEVER know WHAT he's going to do just because he is mad...it doesn't take longer than three minutes to seriously hurt someone!!! He could very much so hurt your baby...you have nine days left....you should really get out while you Can....Your son can have a father but that doesn't mean you have to get beat....where are your morals??? You should want more for yourself if not you then your
son!!!.......

Sweetie if he hits you who is to say that he won't hit the baby. You need to get help. Your son does not need that type off father in his life. A few things can come from this he could beat you severly end up being hospitalized, or even beat you to death. Do you want your son to grow up thinking its ok to treat women that way? If you had a daughter in your situation what would you want her to do?

I hope you're right about him never going to hit the child, but you can find someone better as a father figure. That baby is going to grow up thinking it's normal and perfectly fine to beat on people. But if you're not looking to get out, then no advice can really be given. No one will know for sure if your baby will be completely okay or not. Just something you'll find out whether immediately or a little down the road.

That's the thing. It's not ok for you to get beat by him. It's not!!! Please please you have to realize if he hurts you then you never know what else he may do. You gotta do what you gotta do. Your son wouldn't want you to get beat by his father. Just think of other options rather than you thinking it's ok to get hit.
