I have posted in the past. Things have been quiet lately.Until today. I could tell on the phone when dh called from work,he was in a foul mood.He was vile when he got home.He was calling me awful names.Finally I got real ticked and threw something at him.Missed by a mile intentionally.He came after me pushed me down and kicked me hard.There was an incident last month too, we were in the car we argued he got angry and started puching me in the upper arm(ugly bruises that time)..I love him,but I hate him too...I feel like I will lose our son if I leave.He has connections and outwardly is the "perfect" person.Life sucks.

Hi shortstuff…I’m so sorry you’re still dealing with this.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

PROOF, PROOF, PROOF I cannot be more clear on this, because if it's your word agaist his, you need a leg to stand on. Take pictures of your bruises (use a film camera with correct date not digital), try and have a friend or family member take the picture if you can, then they can also serve as a witness for you, start writing down dates and details of every incident of abuse verbal and physical and call the police everytime he attacks you (even if a report is not written up there is an incident number that you can refer to which entails your conversation to the dispatch so try and say all the details to the dispatch when you call). It's sad to say, but even though you know the truth if your hubby is anything like mine they have the ability to make everyone think they are this wonderful person with no hidden agendas. Protect yourself and your son get proof so that it is certain you will not have your son taken away!
