I've been with my OH for over 3 years &we have a nearly 5 month old baby together now. Things had always been great but over the past year and a bit things have slowly gotten bad, he has Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) which makes arguments 10x worse. I've known about him having this since we first started dating &it was never a problem as it would just cause more shouting &more hurtful words. But since 2 months before I discovered I was pregnant it has escalated. It's gone from words, to throwing things, to punching me in the chest &pushing me in the bath. I know it's really bad but I've basically become numb to it all. Ive given up on fighting against him cause it just makes him worse &now his hurting me has almost stopped but we barely talk anymore &I'm so unhapy, as is he.
I should get out of it I know, but I don't want my baby to have a broken up family &I dont really know how to leave.. I have an emergency bag under the bed just in case &I try not to cause any arguments anymore by just barely saying anything. The loves gone &though him hurting me doesn't scare me, I'm scared for my baby.
Does anyone have any advice on how I should leave? I haven't spoken to anyone about this..
