I come an abusive family and it is no fun. As a child of an abusive father, I do nothing but resent him and feel sorry for his sons who are turning out to be so much like him. Get yourself some help - go to a women's shelter and get your life back. You deserve more than this. Sounds like BF continues to escalate in his violence. Please take care or yourself and your children. you DON'T need him. Consider adoption if you think you cannot handle this at this time in your life. Best of luck. Take advantage of him not being around and get that help!!!

This sounds like a scary situation, if this is his child -you'll be stuck with him forever. I would RUN! Does he know you're preg. with his child???

i am so sorry that you have to go through all this especially that you are now pregnant.i was also abused as a child ,raped by my own uncle and all his friends that used to come visit.i am now preg with two beatiful babies from someone who told me straight i should abort the babies since he is not interested.But you know what?it was not his call to make.i kept my angels and though sometimes he tells me he is so happy i decided to keep them i care less about he says.I guess what i am trying to say to you is that is your decision to make and please be honest about the it.Remember it will come to haunt only you one day.i have risen against all odds even though sometimes it is not easy.Abuse is not only physical it also emotional which i believe i am also goinh through it at thi point.This babies are not only part of him there are also part of me and a much bigger part of me.i kept them because i wanted to,because it suited me.If you cant resolve this on your own go see somebody who will put things in perspective for you since you are also depressed.Please do not make any major decision until you are really sure is what you want.You do not have to be a victim forever you can come out of this a winner.Good luck

Does he know its his child???? if he dosent the best thing to do is, to tell him its someone else child...lie...but know that it would be a white lie to protect your child. iam sure in your situation, try to ask assistance, so you can get back on your feet, and get a life going for you and unborn child.

why in the world would you keep letting this man in your life if he is so abusive? I mean last november your saying he was sent to jail or whatever and then what you let him right back into your life this is going to sound really cruel but my gosh your just stupid and you really need the 2 kids you have taken away from you cause what are you teaching them keeping letting a man beat the crap out of you then reward him with sex and you really do not need another child you need mental help to get over whatever it is that keeps you letting this guy back in your life...I really don't feel sorry for you cause you are letting this man do this to you and that is pretty sick either get him out of your life or just take getting your ass beat until he finally kills you cause it is bull crap that you let him in then call the cops when he hits you and then they take him away then he gets out and you let him right back in your home for more....I would feel bad for a woman that gets beatup and gets out but not for some dumb person like you who keeps asking for it...please send your kids off somewhere safe and you can do whatever

It's been a while since you posted this question. I just want to say that I hope you and your children are well. Get your children AWAY from this man, as he might abuse them too, if he is capable of hurting you. I hope you still have your baby. Ana
