DIVORCE

I had a friend that was in the same situation as you. The best thing for you to do is (take Jodi-Mesa's advice) GET OUT FAST!!!!
That is way easier said than done, but I know that you are stong and I know that you can do it! Think about your son and remember that HE is the most important thing and YOU have to step up to the plate for him, noone else will. I dont know your husband, but I know that my frinds husband went NUTS when she told him that she was leaving, he took their daughter and left so of course my friend didn't leave, BUT while he was at the local bar the next night, she took the baby and a couple outfits and GOT OUT! She went to her Aunts house 40 miles away and the very next moring she went and filed for a restraining order to keep him away from her, then she filed for a divorce. She now (2 years later) is divorced from him. The judge ordered him supervised visitation 2 days a week (he dont even show up for it) and he pays child support and alimony! He moved on and now beats the shit out of some other poor girl and my friend started dating again and she has her life back and the little girl really doesn't even remember her daddy, but who wants kids to remember people like that?!
You can do it, us females are strong and I know that you love your son so think of him before you think about that asshole that treats you bad. Get help and get away. There IS help out there and all you have to do is take advantage of it, for your babies sake and your own!
I don't know what kind of sevices you have in your area, but the first call that you should make is to the friend or family member that you TRUST to help you. If you are completely alone, yea, there are shelters out there and all you have to do is make a phone call to maybe the local police department if you don't know what else to do. The police will help you out!
Good luck to you sweety!

Wow it's like I wrote this. I waS IN YOUR SITUATION 7 YEARS AGO. I will tell you right now he will cheat on you again he will hit you again and at some point he will hit your son. You don't know it now but your son is being hurt right now having to live in that. My son is now 13 he still remembers the fights and the yelling. He was 6 when i finally left. I left in the middle of the night with what I could fit in my car and my son. You can always get a new house your son can't get a new mom. Leaving is the hardest thing you will ever do i;m not going to lie to you. But you will look back and relize it was the best thing for you to do. You will also find if you leave cut off all contact for awhile they change alot when they see you can stand up for yourself. You do have to relize once you leave there is no going back ever! If you can move to another state and get local help when you get there. Theres is lots of programs where they keep your identity and where abouts secret. It sucks babe I know but I am living proff that you can do it. I was with mine for almost 11 years and I got out. Something that stuck with me that they taught me in once of the classes was the definition of insanity......Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Every time they say it will be different this time they won't do it again. Sure things are good for a bit but always go back to the way they were. I hope this helped you good luck on whatever you decided to do.

Your never stuck with a bad situration. You never said how old your son is. There is know excuse for mental or physicall abuse. I am aware how serious it is I came from an abusive home. I could write a book on abuse. I can tell you all the steps to take from trying to get them help to threating them of leaving and until they relize they have a promblem there is know hope. From my own exspence I believe verbal abuse is far worse the physical. The physical pain goes away but never the mental pain. Do you have a family member you can stay with for awhile. To pull yourself together to think and decide what you want. The only thing I can sujest as for a cheap divorce is for you to call the court house in you area and ask them how you can get the documents papers for divorce. In our state we just have to go down to the court house get the papers and fill out and you can file there. They will send you a court date. You pay court cost and filing fee's and they are reasoniable. Some lawyers will help you fill them out for a small dollar amount. Remmber the court hose cannot give out legal advice. Take care and call the police if he starts abusing you. There are shelters out there that can also help.
