    Ah jeeze if he's abusive - the hell with him. It wouldn't matter about his job or his income or anything in such a circumstance. Just walk away and make sure you get a protective order. If he violates it, call the cops on him. Or shoot him, if that's your thing.

    WhatinhellwasIthinking, what in hell ARE you thinking? The 'tard beats you up repeatedly and you worry about hurting his delicate feelings?

    I am generally not a violent person - the last time I hit someone in anger (or hit someone at all) was when I was 11. But I'd be thinking really hard about how I can get my knee into accelerated contact with his goolies in your place.
    And then I would probably try to apply some zip-code therapy instead.

    I don't think it's safe for you to stay in a place where you are accessible to him. The man is sick, what he's done, and doing, to you goes beyond a mere anger management problem, because you describe it as cyclic and repetitive. Really, HIS feelings should be the last of your concerns at this point. The man does not even see you as a human being. I'd also seriously consider how much harm he will be able to inflict you the child you have together before I'd let the kid near him in future.

    I feel terribly sorry for you ... nobody should have that kind of violence inflicted on them.
    Please look after your own safety and well-being first; HE really shouldn't count at this point in time.

      Thank you for you advice. You are right and I know that I guess it was just hard to believe that was my life. I did finally get the hell out last month! Filed a restraining order and temp custody order and moved on. Life is getting better now every day!
