    Get out. Don't be embarrassed. I lost the big V with my abusive ex when I was 13, I stayed for two years. I had no where to go either, my family is really ******* abusive house.

    I went to a battered womens shelter. Its hard cause you have to admit all the horrible things this person has done to you. You have to contact the police and let them know you are in an abusive situation. They take you to a secure site where other victims of abuse live. In this place I met so many wonderful people. Including a beatiful little 7 year old girl whos mother had been repeatedly abused and who had started to be hit by the abuser too. They all had so many stories it made me feel like I wasnt alone. They had group counciling daily. provided all meals and board. It was a nice clean place since all the people that lived there had choirs and volunteer activities to keep the center running clean and secure. They provided child care and helped with relocation after 6 months. That was 15 years ago for me.

    The sooner you leave, the sooner you can get the worst part over with and start living your life the way you want to live it. Right now is the best time for you to go into shelter. Your son is not old enough to know that you are temporarily homeless. Secretly pack all of your things and get to a domestic violence shelter. Hopefully within the next several months they will help you find employment and a place of your own where you are safe. Step out on faith.

    Silence hides violence. The more you cover up for him the worse it will get. You need to get out, and get out fast because it only escalates, and never really gets better.

    I am sorry for your pain and please don't be embarrassed. **** happens. Abuse seems to get worse after the birth of a child. It won't improve either. Stop lying for him and to yourself. Get out. Grab your child and go. There are shelters for you. There is help. Tell the TRUTH it's a relief to get it off your chest. It starts the process of healing and finding yourself again. Most people in abusive situations are isolated so it's common to feel alone. It's part of the control. Please know you are not alone. You can get help and you can have a better life. Get yourself to safety now for your sake if not for the sake of your child. Please don't raise him in a violent house. It does such damage to children. I would know... I have 4. You are young and have plenty of time to make it all better. You deserve it. Make a phone call find the shelters and go.......it's that simple .. worry about the rest later. Just go.
