You know what I mean its like I see it in others but not in me.Is this abuse should I leave the situation?Or stay for the baby I dont want her wihtout her father it feel s like I shortchanged her.I feel really guilty and I dont know what to do.

There is verbal abuse and that is what is happening with u. To stay or go is ur decision but honestly if u think about the baby do u want ur child growing up knowing a father that curses at u and mistreats u or do u want her to be loved by another who will treat u and her with respect and love. If u do leave eventually u wil be able to explain to her the situations that u were going thru and why her real father wasnt there. Good luck

Boundaries
Posted: 05-18-06 12:14pm

You have got to establish boundaries!

Try them with someone else!

He is abusive, and you are either very naive, or have no confidence.

This person needs help, but then so do you. Maybe you just need education, so here it is:

don't get invloved with another person of this type, to do this you must first get help for yourself.

Think ahead, think of your child, you owe your child a good father, not a bad one! Be picky!

Don't settle for the first person that comes along.

If you can't set boundaries for you, set them for your child, what you will or won't acept. Do you want your child to grow up thinking this is normal behavior? I doubt it. Hope not!

It will hurt awhile to leave, but don't let him back, you are teachng him he can do this to you over and over!

Don't let anyone mistreat you!

Decide what your values are and your standards, and don't go for less.

Get the ring before you have an intimate relationship. Use birth control always, and condoms.

Make someone show they mean business, if you buy a home you have to pay earnest money, your body and life are more important than a house!

A mere ring isn't good enough, it should cost a a portion of his yearly income, a large portion.

It may sound old fashioned, but if a man really loves you, he will do it, if he is an honorable man. You don't want an man that isn't. But you have to set your standards first, don't be easy!

If a man won't honor you, dump him before he dumps you, it will make you feel powerful! Self empowered! Best wishes!

Look here babydool u deserve more thna him. Im sorry u had to go throu that and to answer ur questio nyes thats abuse. I only hope that u can realise how horrible of a perso nhe is I mean I dont know yalls relationship that much but I do know wht he did is not right. You can find sumone who will treat u and ur baby liek a princess. Talk to friends they will help u with dealing with things just talk about it it will make u feel better. I understand how horrible that is and if I knew him I woudl personally kick his ass lol. Please take care and know that what hes done is wrong and everyoen deserves better than that.

In my heart I think I know im being abused its hard to accept because after he does it he says hes sorry or he'll say he does it because what I do and I sometimes think maybe I did something wrong. I do need counseling I shouldnt be taking this its not fair to me or my baby and I need to do better then this. I just dont know how to get to the point of being a stronger person. I love my baby more then life its self id give my life willingly for her anything for her and ill do it I want her to have the best.As a child I was mentally abused yelled at screamed at and I guess im used to it being treated bad that sometimes I dont realize it. Jerez your right I need to establish boundaries but I dont know how to do it.
