IMO, your daughter does not need to be raised around someone who she is obviously afraid of. Children can sense things and obviously there is something there she is afraid of. I understand your feelings about divorce but you also have to think about your daughter. She learns from you and from him. You wouldnt want her to think this behavior is acceptable, would you? I waited around for years for my ex husband to change. He never did. Never. I had to do what was right for me, for my girls and I backed one bag for each of us and left just like that. No toys for the kids, no furnature, nothing. Because I knew, I needed to make a life for my girls that they could be proud of. I was young, single, two small kids and I waited tables, delivered pizza's, worked at 7-11. I did anything and everything to avoid putting my kids in that environment.

I would call Social Services, or any type of womens shelter will be able to help you and your daughter. Please take care of you and the little one. If you need to talk further, I am always available via PM. Please keep us posted. Much love and peace to you.
