Hi Looking For Help and welcome to PC,

I am truly sorry that you find yourself in this situation. You are not alone, there are many women out there in the same situation. Is the son his? If he is the father of your son, it will make things a little more complicated down the road but nothing you can't deal with.

Something I would suggest that you do is find out if there is a women's shelter in your town. You can do this by talking to the police. Do not call 911, unless he abuses you physically. Call the administrative number in the phone book. Ask them if there is somewhere you and your son can go in order to leave this domestic situation. The shelter people will be able to hook you up with other people who might be able to help you get a job and other resources if you are serious about getting out of this situation.

Do you have any close relatives nearby? Or is there somewhere else, like a friend's house, where you could go for a while? Chances are that no matter what you do, you are going to have to do it secretly because he has hit you in the past and there is no reason to believe he won't do it again.

Please keep posting here. We want to know how you are doing. If you have any concerns or just need someone to talk to, ask us. There are lots of caring and concerned people on PC.
