I don't know why im posting,I think I just need to say it so i keep sane. Don't even know where to start but it's the same old shit, if im honest with you I can't even remember what it was about. Anyway it resulted in the same old fist fight. It seems to be getting worse everytime, he punched me on my shoulder, face, jaw just everywhere aches. My poor baby was watching us, he hates it.

Im just so tired of it all I really am, I know I can't maintain this set up it is just not healthy, I am made to feel like im insane but I still have a bit of my judgement which is why I know this ain't right.

How can I leave? Parents pressured me to get married, when I did my marriage was very difficult and abusive so i left and came back home which was not much better but i had nowhere to go, my relationship between me and my family was so bad we did not talk for years but still lived in the same house. Eventually i met someone, who if im completely honest was a rebound. I was not attracted to him at all, I was attracted to his soul, he was lost like me or so i thought. I told him everything but it did not scare him he was just a gentleman. I got pregnant after 2 months. Things were getting really bad with my family so I just got a few things and left. Me and OH got married while I was 7months. It was just 2 of us and 2 witnesses. I never told any family or anyone that I was getting married or pregnant. My family by this point had stopped talking to altogether and acknowledging me.

Eventually after LO was born somehow slowly my family were getting in touch with me. My mother in particular calls me every week religiously and we have some what of a normal relationship, this is all as a result of me being 'married and settled', had I not been 'married and settled' they would not give a shit. I would be a nothing again. I can see that that they think the world of my OH as 'he's taken me on' (you know being divorced and all that) but I never tell them what hes really like, how can I after everything.

I've left my first marriage and I left my family when things got tough. But I can't keep running away forever.

My dislike for my OH has got so bad I just wish he was dead, I pray that he dies so I can live with my LO without fear. He threatens to take everything say from me so I have nothing.

During the argument today I never say this but I just got so tired of the same old crap that I actually got his clothes and calmly said please just go, im asking you polietly to go but he just continued swearing and told me to f off as he won't go.

Im sorry I don't know why I've written so much, thank you if you have taken the time to read.

Oh OP, please let 2020 be the year for your LO and you. Call the police - he won’t be able to take LO away from you.

It is now time to protect LO and yourself before the violence escalates even further.

Sending you a big hug x

Call the police, a new safe life for the new year is available for you and your LO. Call the police now! Hugs for you and your little one.

lexiepuppy · 01/01/2020 00:54

Get yourself and LO away from this abusive man before he kills you both.
Phone the police.
Phone Women’s Aid.
Phone your mum.

Good luck and big hugs! 💐

Please, please call the police. As someone who witnessed domestic violence as a child, please call the police, not only for your child but you. I'm late 30s and still needing therapy for what I witnessed. You and your child deserve so much more from life.

RickOShay · 01/01/2020 09:59

How are things this morning @GellerBing?
Sending another hug in case you could do with one.

keepingbees · 01/01/2020 11:48

He has more chance of doing this if you stick around.
Get away from him, get a restraining order on him, get a residency order for your child so he can't take the child from you.

Daisydoola · 01/01/2020 11:50

Phone the police, then call woman's aid. Thanks

Borderterrierpuppy · 01/01/2020 11:53

OP please please please don’t stay in this marriage, you don’t have to.
He will not be able to take your child.
Please call women’s aid and the police if you can.
I know it’s so scary but afterwards you will be so glad you did xx

Go with your injuries, your family will see what you're going through

Bunnybaubles · 01/01/2020 12:01

Sorry my point was to call police, makeup and LO safe then go to your family dinner with your injuries. Don't hide anything!
