I'm so sorry that you are going through this right now.

CedarS is right about calling the police. I was in an abusive relationship with my ex-husband. I had called the police several times. To make a long story short I followed through with everything and the judge ordered my ex-husband to go to anger management classes (he did not go to jail or anything like that). My ex-husband got the proper help and is an excellent father to our son and we get along very well. I consider him one of my closest friends.

It will be hard to fallow through with everything, but if you work with the prosecutor you can get the proper help for your son. You could call the police and ask them for their opinion. They will not do anything unless you press charges. But call 911 and you've been beaten pretty bad, they will press charges themselves.

If you don't do anything the beatings and abuse will get worse and worse, believe me I know.

Good luck, keep your head up and put your foot down!
