So just some background, I began dating a man about 3 years ago who was about 25 years older than myself. That alone should have been a reason to not do it but I was attracted to him and he seemed 100% devoted to me. Throughout the years the abuse started to escalate. Cheating accusations, intense rages, and excessive put downs. Of course I was "making it all up", "playing the victim", etc. He was anything but abusive. Several months ago I confronted him about his abuse and he physically grabbed me, ripped the strap off of my purse, and raged for close to an hour. When he calmed down he said he "didn't want me to leave that is why he did it but I needed to stop saying he was abusive and making up lies. I was called a pathological liar.

Eventually I became pregnant. He denies the child is his, but then when it suites him he says it is "his child" and then he says that because I am so abusive he fears for our child's safety. Right now I am 5 months pregnant and ended up leaving due to his escalating mental break downs. He is blaming me for his financial issues, depression, job loss, etc. We could be out together having a wonderful time and his mood will change instantly and he will become aggressive and start to blame me for his depressed state. I ended up seeking counseling and she stated he sounded like he had NPD and from the instances I told her about he sounded dangerous and recommended I seek legal advise for the baby when it is born.
