I cannot report him because I'm scared.He is aggressive and I've been so many times through these situations!!I'm used to it and I don't know if police take you seriously in this country.

You would be best seeking advice from whatever women's support there is in your country as MN is UK based and advice will be police, women's aid, divorce because that is how women get away from abusers here.

In the meantime, drinking around your child isn't going to get either of you safe.

It sounds utterly miserable OP. Can you list any positives about your relationship?

Please can you put spaces between your punctuation and the next word to make it easier to read your posts.

He slapped you? Report him to the police.

(I know everyone's gonna say it is not a solution!!!)

According to chemistry, alcohol actually is a solution. Mainly beer though as wine is more of a mixture.

misses the point of the thread

P.S. I do not wish to make light of your situation, just bring a little humour to your day.
