Relationship is dead to me

I have been with this guy who at the beginning told me a pack of lies which I was unaware of. He said he had come from a rich family, owned the apartment in london and property abroad, had a great job and really tried to assure me of how capable he was of taking care of me even offering to cook/ buy meals out and giving a lot as he knew I was a struggling single mum with very little in support or financially. I never once asked for financial help from him but he offered and made it seem he could not only take care of me but also my kids. We spent evening drinking wines, laughing and having a great time.

Things were going well the only down fall was his angry bursts each morning never at me but at life. As time went on these anger bursts changed focus. He became angry if my kids had made a mess in the morning or the service at the coffee shop and eventually it turned on me.

Each morning everything about me was targeted, my face, house work, what I said , what I did, everything imaginable.

Im at the stage where I've had enough and have felt this way for a long time. But he refuses to leave saying I owe him for what he has spent on me, if I try leave the house he says he will burn it down, and if I don't go will keep shouting about what a bitch he thinks I am repeatedly saying the things he thinks I do wrong and that I'm mental.

I thought with a chance things would change but the lies, anger and total disrespect never changed. He now asked me to even though I may know just say yes when he tells me something and don't show him I don't trust him. I said I will not say okey and be quiet if I feel I am being lied to. And there is a hell of a lot of lies.

The latest major problem which to me is so little. We were in bed and he pushed his leg into my side I moved to edge of bed where he persisted to push his knee furthur to my back, then also pushed his arm over mine leaving no room, I was at end of bed and very tired, I asked him to moved his arm so he bent it over my pillow leaving no space for my head. After again having to repeatedly asked him to move his arm he stored off to sleep on sofa. The next day he made lots of noises of pleasure in the bathroom as if doing something , why would I need to hear with window open. Then acted normal all day. That evening he said if I said sorry and apologised as i was wrong the night before then we can be okey. I said I was waiting for an apology from him for his behaviour and the swearing he did that night. There was no way I was going to apologise and be responsible for having done nothing but want my space in bed. Today he shouted to fuck off after pointing out his behaviour. Ive left him to it prob cheating again but I don't care nomore. Just want to be alone and he wont go.

The police and women's aid will help to protect you.
Get your poor child out of this situation right now.

Womens aid helped me before, I left my abusive ex and we got a place to live. After which he located us and started using social services to force me to let him see his son and social services said it was emotional harm if I said no as he was still a good father, and said if I refused to let him see his dad I'd be put on a plan, after which time he father stole him from me and kept him at an unknown address and barred me from his nursery after shouting at me outside it for trying to collect my son and then telling the nursery I was shouting, the nursery manager was Ghanaian like him and a friend so I doubt anything she said was actually true account, anyway he kept my son and in court after 4 months to get there said he should stay with his father now as he's settled, he abuses my son and I can't even see him so as you can imagine my trust in the government social services and police have all been lost
