To not want to leave an abusive partner

Hi
I suppose I’ve come here to look for clarity. I don’t know if I should stay with my partner of nearly 5 years. I love him but I also hate him, he is treating me awfully and I’m just letting him walk all over me. Our DD is 6 months old so I suppose I am with him for her. However recently things are getting worse. He takes cocaine and drinks a lot (I drink but no cocaine) when he had it he screams abuse at me calling me every name under the sun, I’m a bad mum, pack my bags and leave, he hates me, I’m a cheat liar fat etc etc (I don’t understand where’s this comes from I have never cheated in my life) the other week he went on a bender didn’t sleep for 2 days and came charging at me trying to throttle me becaue I told him to go to bed. This is now a weekly occurrence and when I co front him when he’s sober he’s either embarrassed and tells me to leave him alone or everything is my fault. I’ve told him he has a problem but he’s in denial.
When we get on it’s so good. He’s great with DD and me in the week and he does make me happy. We have gone through so much together I don’t want to throw it all away especially now I have a 6 mo th old I’m terrified of leaving and being in my own. I have a great family and friends circle but no mum or dad so he knows I don’t have anywhere to go when he tries to chuck me out.
I don’t really know what I’m asking for here. I feel like I can’t with him but can’t live without him.

@JSweetpea1234, we're just bobbing onto the thread to say that we're moving your thread to the Relationships topic where you'll be able to continue to get advice and support from other Mumsnetters.

We'd also urge you to have a read of our domestic violence webpage where you'll be able to find useful contact details and advice on getting RL help.

Whilst we're here, we also wanted to advise folk to exercise some caution. The truth is that, sadly, we at MNHQ can't know with 100% certainty that any poster is genuine, no matter who they are or how long they have been here. As frustrating as it is, we're just not able to vouch for anyone here.

So we always ask users to remember that not everyone on the internet is who they say they are – and remind folk not to give more to another poster, either financially (in cash or gifts) or emotionally (in time or care and support) than they'd be prepared to lose if things went wrong. The same goes in terms of arranging to meet up with other posters in RL and, with that in mind, if you receive a PM which makes you uneasy - report it to us and we’ll take a look.

Sorry to hijack your thread briefly there, OP – we really hope you get the help and support you need.
