Fight with DP

[GoingtobeLonely]

Have been posting on here for a while but have changed my name because i am ashamed, last night my DP and i had a huge arguement in the middle of our road, in which he spat in my face, threw me to the floor and chucked me in the bushes several times, broke my necklace, smacked me around the face, shouted a lot and went to kick me, he rufuses accept that he has done anything wrong and just excused himseld by saying that i have made the last month of his life hell, i have been quite hormonal as i am 5 months pregnant, he kept asking if i am going to give him the last month of his life back, he then went on to say that it wasnt his baby and told me to have an abortion and that he wasnt going to do 'more than he has to' this upsets me because its our child that will be loosing out more than me, we will live together seperately and im also worried that he will bring people back to the house with him

i dont know what i am expecting by posting this on here, just hoping for a bit of advice and support i suppose! i feel so

Look at it this way, even if it is a troll there may be someone reading this thread who isn't posting and has had the same experience and needs help/advice but is too scared to ask.

I lost my temp job at 5 1/2 months pregnant so yeah, it can happen. I'm claiming maternity allowance, you can get it from 29 weeks. In the meantime, I would use the opportunity you've been given (not being tied down to your job) to get out of there. Otherwise you'll get another job convenient to your current home, and that will be another "reason to stay"

If ANY of my aquaintances, estranged friends, distant family etc came to me and said "my dp beats me, I'm scared and I need a place to stay" I'd take them in without a second thought, and I think most people would feel the same way. There must be someone you can turn to, even if you aren't close to them. Avoid turning to your Dad, he doesn't sound like a positive influence at all.

There are no good excuses for him to hurt you, honey, almost all pregnant women have emotional outbursts- our partners grit their teeth and deal with it, they don't beat us up. That's why you've had more strong words than virtual hugs on this thread, we want to help you so much but we can't and it frustrates people.

how are you doing, gtbl?

I don't think gtbl can post right now as she lost her job and has no internet access at home.
