I am a mother of a 2 year old. I love him and I stay at home w/ him. My husband and I have been together 3 years.. the first year was rough, he cheated and verbally and physically abused me. After a life changing experience for my husband he seemed to changed so I gave him another chance. Well the last few months we have fought and there is no romance and he doesn't hit me but points his finger in my face and sometimes pokes me w/ it and it hurts. I hate that he is like that and I don't want my son to think it is OK to treat a woman this way. I love my husband and the thing that keeps me here is my child and I do love him but I am hurting an sad inside because he makes me feel so low. He calls me fat and other various names and then he tells me he doesn't love me anymore.. etc.. Wel then later or next day he will try to act like nothing happened. It is very an emotional rollercoaster for me and I am at my limit. I want to up and leave not just for my son but for me.. but if I do leave.. I have to go to my mothers.. and leave the state.. I am so confused.. HElP?

Often verbal abuse can be worse than physical.
You are right if he has an attitude like it's 'his way or the highway' and women are worthless then it sets a bad example for your son. Your son will grow up with the same bad attitude toward women.
He sounds like he has emotional or psychological problems if he can act two totally different ways. You may need to go to your moms.
I wouldn't fall for the want to get back together and make things work either because as soon as you are settled back in with him he will start again.

Pack some things and leave... I wouldn't have never gave him the second chance. Person that truly loves you wouldn't hurt you physically or mentally.

I am a man and I would pack my stuff and leave, there is no reason why he should have put his hands on you in the first place, obviously this guy will never change and you seriously need to get out of there before you or your child gets harmed anymore!!
