I read the entire post...and I agree with the others...you need to get out. I was just in a relationship like yours. But I refused to marry him unless I was truely happy with him. But thats the only difference...we had a daughter together too. And right after she was born on the way home in the truck she started crying and he told me to shut her the F up before he did something he would regret. I tried many times to get out and he wouldn't let me. I didn't have a vehicle to use...stuck in the house....yeah really really controlling. You don't want to stay in there.....mine started to get physical when I told him I was leaving him... So please don't let on to him that you are leaving. Maybe your parents would be willing to help you. Granted they didn't like him in the first place (mine didn't either) and I didn't want to go to them cuz I didn't want to hear "I told you so" dumb, but true.....and now I realize I should have gone to them for help ASAP when I needed out. I worry about the safety of you and your daughter....men like that don't deserve someone as great as you. Your trying but he just doesn't care...and he isn't going to change unless he wants to...and it sounds like he never will...just like my ex. You can PM me if you would like to talk some more...but please please care about your 2's safety and get out! This is not looking like a happy future if you stay....and something bad might happen that you won't be able to fix later on. So take action now! If you don't have money to move out and get your own place. Talk to the county...they can get you a place...don't feel like you are stuck there, cuz you have many options to take. Hope you the best and please keep us updated as if he agrees to change or wants to change or if you get out. We will be worrying about you until you are in a safe environment. Hang in there....we are here for you if you need us!
