do you seriously need an answer to that? come on!!!!!!

Leave .If you love you're baby you wouldn't make him watch daddy beat up mommy.If he hits you he will hit the baby when the baby grows up.

my mom let my dad beat her and always said he would never hurt the kids. well she was very very wrong.


marsie

Never accept abuse. And get him for everything he have... when he is dependent on you... then will there be a chance of him changing and not abuse u again. But u have to take control.

Wait until he beats your baby? Leave now!! let him work out his problem without distracting him, then go back if he is legitimately better. I still have scars from when my father beat me.

try marriage counseling and if things dont work out then i would get out. i know it is hard but if he keeps hurting you, you definately need to get out. you need to do what is best for you and your child
good luck

I once was in the same situation and I always said I would stay for the children until one night he got so drunk he nearly killed me and my kids. It is not worth it. You need to leave now because like you, my husband said he loved me and he would stop but it never stops it just gets worse

No man has any right hitting a woman no matter what once a man hits, abuses or whatever it is very unlikely he'll stop.

You need to get out of the house. Wait until he has really proved that he has quit alcohol. This isn't just about you now. It's about your baby and providing a warm SAFE environment. Contact the local battered woman shelter in your area. Also, get in touch with Al-Alon.It's for people who spouses are alcoholics. Good luck. You're going to need it..

I think every1 has said eough, it does not stop and when he says sorry he may well mean it but its an illness which cannot be treated or i have not known a treated case. you are lucky that you can still type as it just gets worse and worse.

Please get help and no matter how much u try to convince yourself NO ITS NOT YOUR FAULT.

LEAVE SWEETHEART

I would leave. Get out while you can, because you do not want your son growing up with an abusive father. Leave him a note explaining why you left just not where you went to. If you have family and you are on good terms with them, then go there. You do not deserve to be abused and have done nothing wrong...keep that in mind.


Deborah
Absolutely NO! Make him get counseling and get some for yourself and your children if you have any.

I left my abusive husband . It was not easy, but I am a lot happier now. Not to mention my 2 kids are happier and we are safe. Let me ask you this. If you stay and he decides for what ever reason he is bored with you and abuses your baby.....how will you feel? As a mother you are obligated to put your child before yourself. You may love this man, but speaking from experience......I think you are more scared then anything. If he abuses your child you stand the chance of having him/her taken from you by the athoritys (CPS) for failure to protect. You knew he is abusive and you stayed. It happened to me. I would hate to see someone else go through it. Your a new mom, when that baby came out you felt there was nothing in the world you wouldn't do for your child......even die. Some times that theory is tested. I wish you the best. K

NO!!!!!!

Move ASAP or do not allow him to come home. Get a restraining order. IF he gets his life straight and IF he truly changes, and admits he is an abuser, then you can date him until you see whether it's for real. Likely, once an abuser, always an abuser. Did his father abuse his mother? Likely. You deserve better, and so does your son. Do you want your son to grow up seeing his dad abuse you and think that is the way to treat a woman? That's what will happen if you stay. Take this opportunity to GO and be free of this abuser. Get help, but whatever you do, don't let this cycle continue.

No...the seed has been planted...you will more than likely become a target of his aggression in the future...and all the hope won't change this...everyone gets mad from time to time, he is only human...choose wisely...you have an example to set for your child and the choices you make will affect him.

maybe you like to have pain all the time and your husband beat you up, other than that leave

why do woman even ask this question?
If a man is physically abusive.leave him.
He not only needs alcohol treatment,he needs anger management classes.
You cant blame alcohol for abuse.
A lot of men drink,but they don't abuse their partners.
And most abusive men.are going to abuse their kids sooner or later.
Leave!


Lacey
Get out now!!!!!

GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


otexasgina
i think i would and stay with family and then when he gets out i would put him to the test.I would the if he has changed.But living with him,What if he came home and the abuse is still there.It could even get worse and you can get hurt or lose your life. Think about it!!


hardcoco
If he does it again, leave and don't come back.

I personally would not let him continue being abusive. I have been there and so was my sister.You say he is in rehab, I hope it works out for you. There are some people who come out of that ordeal a changed person, but there are others who have to continue going back. You do not deserve to be treated badly in anyway, and the alcohol is not a good enough excuse for him to be treating you badly. You also have your daughter to think about now, what kind of life will she be subject to if the treatment does not help? I wish you the best, but no one can tell you what the future holds, just remember if he has not changed, you have to decide whats best for you and her. Please remember you are special , we all are and no one especially you , who just had his child should have to go through that much hell. You are going through enough, Good Luck and best wishes.

No, you shouldn't stay. If you don't care about your own well-being, at least care about your six-week old son's. That is not a relationship he needs to grow up seeing. Children learn by example, and they learn from a VERY early age on.....

make sure he knows that if he ever has another drink or touches you in anger you and the baby will dissapear and you will take him for everything. Then stick to your guns if it happens. now or five years from now.
