Me and my boyfriend had been together for 2 years, in these two years we have lived together had agruments an now having a baby! Before my pregnancy we used to physically fight, hes knocked me out an smutherd me with pillows all because of silly things. Each time he did it, afterwards he would break down cry an say 'he didnt mean to hurt me'. Me being me i beleived him and forgave him. Then as things started to get worse and i became pregnant with my little boy. Things calmed down an we became quite happy with each other, we started to become the couple we were when we first got together. It was the most happiest i had ever been for a long time. As my belly started to show i was pregnant he stopped taking me out an told me i couldent leave the house. I did as i was told because i was happy an didnt want him to change into the man i was scared of and hated. Things stayed quite but he became more controlling and agressive towards me again, I got scared for the saftey of me and my un-born child, I told him i didnt want him any more an to stay away from me. An hour later he came crying an begging for me back and promised me the world. Again i beleived him. We got back together and i pretented nothing was wrong. The promises he made never happend an he became more mentally abusive towards me. I became withdrawn from my family and friends because of the lies i told to prevent them finding out of my horrid relationship. They all begged me to talk to them an tell them what my plans where for the future of me and my baby, all i could think about was being on my own an saving my baby from a life of abuse an heartache, The more i thought about it the more determind i became to end this relationship i hated soooo much. All i needed was something i could use to get rid of this man, I spoke to his friends an found out his had been cheating on me with this girl called lucy. I had it my amo for the split! I called him to my home and sat him down, I told him that i no longer wanted to be in the relationship an i wanted nothing to do with him. He cried an started to make his empty promises. I stayed strong an said NO! He told me he wanted to buy the babys puschair and cot. Again empty promises, I spoke to him about the money for the pushchair because id orderd one over the internet. He said he wanted nothing to do with me or the baby because he had his friends an wanted to go out! The money was his an he should be able to do with it as he pleased. I was upset, but then thought well atleast now my little boy doesnt have to go throught waiting for daddy to come but never turning up. Daddys empty promises. Im now 28 weeks pregnant with my son, and looking foward to having my little boy. Me and my babys daddy havnt spoken scince and my parents are being so very supportive. I just want to say to the girls who, if you are in your relationship and un-happy leave it now, things never get better they just get worse. Stay strong and keep your head high.
