My husband beat me/hit me 4 times over a course of 2 years. Three of the times I was pregnant (6-13wks) and lost the babies a week or two later. The last time he beat me was in 2011 when I was about 12/13wks pregnant with son.

I can't remember exact dates exact circumstances. It was always about me asking him to spend more time with us or asking him to drive. He'd lash out.

He hasn't hit me since because I told my family and he's scared. I don't know why I've remained with him. I've been told to leave him countless times by my family.

Things are getting worse again now. He doesn't hit me, but it's all very complicated. He'll break plates if his food isn't made on time or get moody. I want him to pay for what he did to me but I'm scared no one will believe me. Could he go to jail for something like this, even if I have no proof or am not sure about exact dates?

Hi there OP. Sorry to hear you've had to deal with this. We wondered if, as a PP has suggested, you would like us to move this thread to Legal Matters? Just let us know on the thread if that's easier than emailing us, and we can move it over for you. The posters over there are also very knowledgeable and might be able to give you more detailed legal information.
