All I want to say is good for you! You are strong enough to get away when need be. Especially when you have a child.
A lot of women are too scared to leave unhealthy relationships so props to you. I wish you the best and there's moral support here if you need it!

I know this thread is no place for jokes, but when I read the title I thought: 'what's happened to AshB now?'

From a man's perspective there is absolutely no reason for him to be abusive to you in any way. I would be concerned that if you did get married to him it would give him validation that the way he is treating you is OK. You don't deserve that. As the mother of his child he should be willing to do anything to make your life better, and that starts with how he treats you!

I can only imagine the hardships you may be facing, but by facing them head-on you are trying to make a better life for you and your child. It may seem hard now, but in the long run you will have the life you deserve.

OMG! This is why I'm so glad I've got my guy locked up nice and tight in a male chastity device. Barely legal is technically legal, right? Still, it's awfully creepy.

Thanks everyone for your support, it does mean a lot. Just an update, after i came back from the safe house and got my heart broken again, i called the housing people who dropped me off and they took my lil girl and me to a hostel. However, it wasn't very safe so i called my ex and he came over. We both agreed that what would be safer for my girl and easier for us all is if i moved back home (the house is in my name anyway) and my ex moved in to his parent's house.

He sees his girl every day and has her on weekends. She is growing up to be an extremely happy and sociable girl and her hospital visits are down to twice a year -woo!

My ex and i are getting on fine but that's it. We are being civil for our girl and that's it, i don't even hate him any more, i just feel nothing. I would definitely urge anyone who was in a similar situation to mine to please get out of there, it will be the greatest thing you could ever do for yourself -and especially your child, if you have one
