Answer 1

Only you will know when it is safe to leave. You do not deserve any form of abuse. This is a serious situation, and potentially can be deadly for you and your unborn baby.
Protect yourself with a safety plan. 1) Do not allow yourself to be cornered in a room, especially a kitchen, bathroom, a room where weapons are stored, or rooms without doors or windows. 2) Keep important documents in a safe location. 3) Mentally address escape routes, and where the keys to the vehicle are. If you do not have a vehicle and cannot safely drive...go to a neighbors house or PUBLIC PLACE. 4) After talking on the phone, call a local business in your area to make your calls untraceable. If he gets the phone bill, all of your calls to domestic abuse hot-lines will not be listed. When it is safe for you to leave, the number below will get you in contact with local assistance. 5) If you write this number down, put your local area code in place of the 800, and put a persons name by it that he is not suspicious of. I am sorry that you are going through this, and it is NOT YOUR FAULT.
To answer your question, Is monetary value worth your life? Your children do not think that it is. They need you around in their lives. It may be comforting for you to know that if you leave your abusive situation, and obtain a restraining order...the judge may issue the possessions to you. Even if your spouse pays for the vehicle. (or it is in his name). You also have the right to contest a restraining order within 30 days after service.

Okay Jess, All these people are telling you to get out of there and they cant be all wrong. Its a no brainer, you have to leave. Do you want you and yourunborn baby to be yet another statistic. Anybody who can beat a pregnant women leaving bruises on their stomach is capable of anything and a whole lot worse. He is NOT worth trying to salvage. He needs help and the only way he will ever get help is if he looses you and the baby, by your leaving. Otherwise the cycle of violence will be perpetuated. As a other of almost 3 kids, you have a duty to the safety of your kids and also a duty to preserve your own life. Go to a shelter and the call the police. The shelter will protect you. This will be the turning point of your life. If you are savvy enough to get on a computer and ask this question, you are savvy enough to escape. Do not try and take too much with you so as not to raise suspicion and change all your computer passwords. Go now and do no wait....do you want to anoter Laci Peterson and all the other?

No your not trapped, contact the AWAP the abused woman advocacy program, I believe its nation wide if its not I'm sure there is a program like it in Texas Look in the phone book. They have shelters that are safe houses where you can live. Call the police and have him arrested, also go to the court house and get an protection order against him. If he's beating you he will hurt your children eventually. The most important thing to do is get out right away. Contact family members and friends to help you. I was in a situation like yours, he almost killed me, don't wait he's not going to stop. No matter what he says or promises leave and don't go back. God bless

Answer 5

Well, my first husband was abusive. When I was pregnant with our first child, he believed it was someone else's, and he hit me square in the pelvis. I passed out and woke up four hours later in a puddle of blood, and had lost the baby.
I learned alot after I left him, about the 'honeymoon' syndrome, where they say they won't do it again, and make all the promises and all that.
When I left him, I escaped, literally. By the time I had left him he had ruined all my clothes, my car, made me get fired from my job by ruining my car, my clothes, making me late for work by commenting on how tight my pants were...it was horrible.
My mom drove all the way down from Oregon(where I live now), to Long Beach, CA to get me. I wasn't allowed to leave the house, and so I threw all my stuff that I had packed the night before, all that I had left anyways, which fit into a small laundry basket~I tossed it over a fence out back and when he went out front and was working on the car, I hopped that fence, got in the car with my mom and left.
There are women's crisis support teams out there. It's never easy to start again on your own, but it will be even harder after the baby comes, so if you are ready to leave him and have had enough, do it before the baby comes, because it will only get worse, and he might beat or kill your child.

Answer 6

You need to leave NOW! It will get worse, I promise you. You will not lose anything. Call the police and have them take you and your children to a women's shelter. There, they will set you up with all of the services you need, including a good lawyer (who may work pro bono) to help you.

I have been there and if you were my friend, I would advise you to do the above before something terrible happens to you or your children. The police and shelter workers will keep you safe and it is not a bad place to be at all. It is an extended family atmosphere and not at all "institutional." You and your children will be fine.

Answer 7

Go to the Hospital,the will call the Police,then you get anything you want,don't put up with that,he beats a pregnant Wife,what a Hero,beating any Woman is bad,Leave,a Car you can buy,you and your Children's Life is Priceless,he is a bad Apple,half-rotten,to the Curb,Good Luck to you and your Children,Ks

Answer 8

Go to the police an show them the marks. Don't you have family? If not there are facilitys all over the US that are capable of helping you. You obvisouly have a computer, use it to look up places in your area. Are you not strong enough to make sure that your 3 children are cared for, if not be prepared to start watching your husband take it out on your children, he has already started on one that hasn't even been born, imagine what he will do to the ones he can see.

Answer 9

In this day in age if you are trapped then you choose to be. There are too many agency out there to help women in abusive relationships.
The first time this happened why did you not call the cops??? Take pictures of bruises???? and have a report on file at the police department.
Call health and welfare, call salvation army, do not keep this info about what his is doing to yourself. If someone sees the bruises say exactly where they came from, it is not your fault but his.

Hit me once shame on you, Hit me twice shame on ME. Get out Now Start making calls now the phone book is full of numbers of people that can help.
