I'm in your boat, love. I've been with the man who's given me the child in me for almost 6 years. In the first 4 he was my best friend - when my best friend killed himself, he was there. Every time I wanted to kill myself after, he stopped me. I owe him my life.
He doesn't abuse me physically very much, mostly emotionally. He's done a lot of things to me physically, and I think the worst part is I always fight back. I'll say things he doesn't like, and no matter what it is, if he gets too upset, he'll slap me as hard as he can and throw things and scream in my face, or spit in my face. Whenever he does, I scream back and ask him if he wants to see how it felt when he slapped me and he'll laugh, so I'll do it back. Whenever he adds things on, I do it back. The last time we fought was on Tuesday. He slapped me twice, the second time I almost fell and smashed the glass table beside us. He laughed and said "Seriously are you that weak?!" So I shoved him back and ended up fracturing my middle finger in two places.

Somehow I still love him, because we aren't always like that. He tries to make me apologize first for things he started, and sometimes I do. I want to leave and I have before. But I always end up going back and it always ends up being worse. I tell you all this because I don't want you to have to feel as helpless as I do. Leave while you can before you've gotten so far into it that you don't remember how.

There's actually a forum for abuse on medhelp. Not sure how active it is. PLEASE BE CAREFUL! I grew up abused and was in a highly abusive relationship for years. I gained PTSD from it. That's all I will say. I hate talking about my disorder. :/ You deserve safety AND love. :) good luck, mama.

They have groups you can contact that'll help you leave. No one wants you in this kind of situation. No one. Not even people who have no clue you exist. Please, think of your baby boy
