I feel like I'm drowning!
So much to say and dont know where to start. I met my husband 4 years ago after his then wife had left him. It was just suppose to be a casual thing but we both started to fall for each other. Stupidly I moved out of my apt to with him to his moms house. I was still a single gurl in my mind and had no idea what it meant to be with someone with kids. His mom took care of his kids, so everything seemed perfect. Exept his ex was still acting like he was hers. Oh some of his history...he met her in middle school and got her pregnant. She had 3 kids in all with him and they were together for 13yrs! She cheated on him, took his daughter out of state to be with another man. I could tell it broke his heart. He new nothing of taking care of children and bills and the house. He was just the money maker and didnt even keep up with his bank acct, she had full control. He felt dependent on her and because she cheated he began to chase her and do anything or buy anything he thought would bring her back. He even got into the trunk of her car when she left the house, to find out if and with whom she was seeing! CRAZY!
Well we moved 2 hrs away for his work. That same weekend I got pregnant! After having my son I was emotional and I was complaining about mess his kids made, he became defensive and hit me in the face with my newborn in my arms. I looked at him different after that. I called my ex and he caught me on the phone. Thats when he began to thing I was gonna be a cheater too. He became distant and the bio mom never came around for the kids. I was the only one they had to get attention from. So I consumed myself with the kids. By that time he had already stopped helping me with my bby and even his own kids. He was always having to leave town (his hm town) for "manager meetings" that always seemed to happen when the kids were in school, so guess who had to stay with all 4, ME! That summer his oldest son, who trusted and loved me, told me his bio mom had told them their dad would go see her when he would be in town. So many details he told me that no 10yr old could just come up with in our 5min conversation. I wasnt sure if it was true, I asked the other kids what was said before they had a chance to speak to each other and it was all the same info. Deep down I knew it was true. My DH worked with my frndz DH and her DH told her he said he didnt want to take me out of town with him. I wonder y. I died then and my life has been spiraling out of control. I drink myself to sleep and just to loose weight aftr bby I did drugs. I always felt compared to her with out him even saying anything. It was the way he looked at me...with hate. That hurt cuz I tried so hard to help him with his kids and felt lost. We fight alot and last august he pushed me over a dinning chair and I was bleeding internally. He took me to the ER, but kept leaving the room to see the GAME! I love him soo much but Im so tired of my life. Im so depressed i cant bring myself to do anything right anymore. I dnt want to leave the house anymore or talk to people who have tried to be my frnd many times. Now drinking doesnt put me to sleep...Ive slept 6 hours in 3days. My mind is gone...Im nt the person i use to be, all in 4 years. Much more to the story....

Honey YOU NEED TO LEAVE
Honey YOU NEED TO LEAVE HIM!!!
It is a hard thing to do but it's the right thing for your baby and you. You are not the other kids parent so let them worry about them. Get out now.. There are places you can go. If there was a police report, get it. If you don't know who to talk to go to a church, and church and tell them what's going on. They will direct you to someone or somewhere that can help you.
Please leave him and get yourself some help..
Hugs and good luck.
Please heed the advice here.
Please heed the advice here. I pray for you and your son's sake that you are not taking drugs still because that will play a big part in not making sound decisions. You are at risk here and more importantly, your son is at risk. If not for you, please think of your child. A lot of your story sounds like my first marriage and if you need anyone to talk to, please feel free to send me a message.
I would usually not advise
I would usually not advise someone to leave a marriage in trouble, all marriages have ups and downs. Part of life is working through the downs. But, if you are being abused at the hands of someone who is supposed to love, protect and take care of you, you need to get out. Bottom line. If you have nowhere to go, find a women's shelter. They will take in you and your baby, and help you get on your feet.
If you can't or won't change
If you can't or won't change your life for yourself, at least think about your son. He deserves a better life. You can't be the mother to him that he deserves if you can't even take care of yourself. Be strong for him. You are all he has.
If my DH ever hit me in the
If my DH ever hit me in the face he would be seeing me in court. You need to leave. A man should never put his hands on a woman. Get out of there for the safety or yourself AND your child. I am so sad for you. No offense, but he sounds like a total piece of crap and doesn't deserve you. Get some help for yourself and get away from him before he hurts you even more.
