In my experiences the woman that stays in that type of relationship is very self conscious and thrives off having another being there. I've been there. To say that going to another man right away is going to make things better is somewhat of a scapegoat. Yes, definitely getting away from the abusive undeserving human being that you feel has trapped you and your child is your first priority but submerging yourself into a new relationship so soon in order to do so, especially toting your child along, is something to think hard about. Being single is one of the hardest but most rewarding thing you can do for yourself and for your child. You are a strong and beautiful, independent woman. When YOU choose a good man to be a partner not a dictator, that will show your child wonders. Get out of that relationship because it never gets better, only worse. It doesn't stop and the toll it takes on your child can never be reversed

@mellysmommy0805 I say go for it then. Any man that is willing to hurt a woman, is also willing to hurt a child at some point later on. If this other guy really does love you and is willing to take you and your daughter then go for it. Maybe he is the one that you were meant to be with

He's never hurt her but me he has. This man in talking to I've know since I was in high school. He's always loved me and treated me like a queen. We met at the wrong time and he's in the army now and is fully willing to take me and Melody under his wing whenever I'm ready. @kaytibug2009,

@mellysmommy0805 before I got married I dated a lot of guys who are very abusive to me so I can understand how you feel since I was with one guy for 4 years and he was physically and emotionally abusive. It took a point to where I was in the hospital before I realized that I was better than he was, and that I didn't need him in my life. If your husband is abusive to you especially physically abusive and you have a child together... you need to think not only of yourself but of your child. If he is willing to hit you that means that when your daughter gets older he might be willing to hit her as well and all that does is teach your daughter that it's okay to be abused. You are beautiful woman and you you deserve better than someone abusing you like that. For you and your daughter I say you can try one of two things. If you think counseling might help and you want to continue to be married to this man then you can however option 2 is leave him to keep yourself and your daughter safe and if you feel like you have found somebody who really does love you then go for it. Just make sure you are ready to step away from that abuse and you realize in yourself that you are worth so much more and you deserve better and no one should ever physically, emotionally, sexually, or any other forms, abused you or your child

My husband is awful to me. He's been emotionally and physically abusive. When I'm around it's like I should just be gone because my presence is a nuisance. He always points out my insecurities and then tries to tell me how beautiful I am. He's not interested in sex with me anymore and he's resulted to watching porn instead. I've recently been talking with someone and they've made me feel better than I've felt in a very long time. Like I worth something. @kaytibug2009,

Yes. Sad thing is, it takes the abuse to hit a tipping point before the person realizes they are worth so much more than letting that other person treat them like trash. When it comes to love, true love will never hurt you on purpose!
