Hi Jennyfer ~ Bless your heart. I'm sorry you're in such an abusive relationship.

I have to agree with Genetic. I believe your boyfriend is probably an alcoholic. It doesn't matter how MUCH he drinks -- it''s what it does to him that makes him an alcoholic. It changes him. It makes him 'someone else.' It turns him violent. He definitely has a problem with it.

You really need to get out of this relationship. He may not be violent now, but he will become that way soon. He will hit you before long. You will get hurt at one time or another. This is a dangerous situation and you need to leave. Until he can get sober and stay that way for awhile, YOU need to stay away or just plain move on.

And like Genetic suggested, I believe too that you need therapy to find out WHY you are putting up with this kind of treatment. Why are you staying? You say you love him, but most people wouldn't tolerate this. Most people would leave! Are you sure it's not dependence instead of love? Have your doctor refer you to a good therapist so you can find out what's keeping you with someone that abuses you. If you DO leave him, you sure don't want to pick someone else that's abusive too! Some women do that -- they get right back into another abusive relationship. It could stem from your upbringing.

I wish you the very best. Please take care -- and God bless. Hugs, Lee
