Abusive partner

[kiaxxx]

I'm a young mum my partner and i were together for nearly 4 years. Hes not a nice man, he's hit me before called me names etc. we were ok for a few months but today he flipped and hit me worse than he ever has, I rang his mother told her so she could persuade him to go to hers. I love this man so much but I have ended it. I'm so heartbroken. There's times when he's lovely buying me gold bracelets and the next going absolutely mad. I'm not used to being on my own. I can't stop crying I know I can't be with him but I don't know how I'm going to move on :( any advice would be brilliant

You are worth more than this. Never let anyone make you feel less than you are. Life is so short and so precious, you should never waste a second of it being unhappy and this man cannot bring you happiness. Don’t confuse happiness with excitement - when he buys you a gold bracelet it is exciting, but does he actually make you happy? Or are you mostly afraid of his anger on most days? That man belongs in jail and unfortunately you will most certainly not be the last person he takes his aggression out on. Please look ahead and be thankful that you are safe from his violence now. You say he hit you worse than before? What will happen next time? How can you be certain that your LO is safe with a man as volatile as him around? Being on your own may seem unbearable, especially on Christmas Eve, but it is a much safer and healthier alternative for you and your LO than what you have been living. You have already made the bravest and most difficult step by ending it. Each new step you take from here is going to lead you to a much better life. Break ups are tough, there’s no escaping that but people move on and you will become a much better, stronger person for doing this. Don’t ever let him take that away from you now. I pray you can see this decision through and I wish you all the luck and happiness for the future x x
