I met my current partner very quickly after my marriage ended.

Three years later we live together have a baby and he helps me
Raise my daughter from marriage.

When we argue which is quite a lot he throw things at me, grabs my arms, slams things or will put his fist in my face or push me. Is this domestic violence?

He calls me fat and ugly most days and last week at a wedding he sat at the table during dinner telling everyone how much he hated me
And how boring I was and that no one likes me. I was mortified but everyone laughed thinking he was joking but I knew he wasn't. He denied this happened the next day.

I can't see a way out I have a good job but bad credit so the house is in his name and my daughter loves where we live now. I feel like I should just stick this out but tonight he threw something at me and it hit my in the side and my ribs are so sore. I don't know how much more I can't take.

Is this domestic violence?

Yes.

Please speak to women's aid.

They have an online chat service on their website, think it's only available to 6pm, not 100% sure. They should also have a branch in your area.

This is awful, you need help, advice and support.

You could find somewhere else to live that your daughter will like too. You can't stay with this abuser just because she likes the house/location.

Plus she will notice and learn lessons from his behaviour, no matter how much you try to hide it from her ... lessons that will make you more likely to get into and stay in abusive relationships, she'll think its normal.

*make her more likely..

You could just say you'll copy and paste what you've written in this thread into their chat window, if that works.. and they'll see what he's been doing.

He's physically, verbally abd emotionally abusive.

Your stuff-esteem will return when you leave.

Your daughter truly doesn't not want to stay in that house if it means her mother is getting hurt and feeling really bad. How long before he starts on her anyway.

You can report what he's done to the police, if you want: it's illegal.

DO NOT EVER tell him you're thinking about leaving, or actually leaving and don't tell him where you'll be going.

Do you in have any family or friends who can help you? If you were my friend I'd be horrified this was being done to you and want to help you.
