I am 32 years old, I got married when I was 22.
When I met him he was nice and I thought I loved him (at the time I did), we got married in aug '97 , everything was fine for about 2 months and then he started to put me down all the time, and then he started to hit me whenever he was drinking, and in may '98 I found out I was pregnant with my son, my now X was and is in the army, he was over seas when I found out, and seamed happy about it.
he came home in oct '98 and after a night out he came home and because I would not have sex with him he kicked me out of the bed, while I was lying on the floor he sat on the side of the bed and stamped his foot into my stomach, he done this about 3 times he then rolled into the bed and went to sleep.
I eventually got myself off the floor and tried to get some sleep, but I was awake for most of the night with pains.
The next day I ended up in hospital where I nearly lost my little boy, but thank god he is a fighter like his mum.
Things changed for a while after that and in jan '99 my son was born.
the hitting started again not to long after my son was born, and in may/june of that year there was a big row between us and I tried to phone my mother and father to help me but he pulled the cord out of the wall just as there phone had started to ring. I got one hell of a beating that night (ALL WHILE MY BABY WAS IN HIS COT CRYING) I got to him and picked him up thinking my X would stop but he hit me again and pulled the baby out of my arms and put him back in his cot, I ran but he caught me in the hall way he pined me to the floor with his hands around my neck, I don't remember too much after that until my mother and father walked in ( they had caller id at the time saw my no and kept ringing back but were getting an engaged tone so they thought something was up with the baby and came to my house to see what was up.
They brought me and my son to there house. The next day my mother brought me to my dock to have all on record (as I had never gone before)
After a few weeks I went back to him, and again things changed for a while, I got pregnant with my daughter and she was born in jul '00. We started to build our own house on a site my mother and father gave us. He went over seas again and I moved in with my mum and dad while he was away and the house was being finished.
But again when he came home it was back to the same old things. I started to fight back when ever he hit me but that only made him mad'er, I used to be told I was to fat to go out in public, I was good for nothing, I was ugly, I was lucky he married me as no one else would have me (when you hear things like this for so long you start to believe them)
I was out one night in oct '03 with my cousins when I met a man we started talking and for some strange reason I found I could talk to him about anything, we started to see each other, and fell head over heals in love with him, he was everything my X WASENT. I had some where to escape to, to pretend my life was not as bad as it was.
New years eve I went to work, and after I went to see the man I had met, (I had told my X I was going to stay with a friend that night after work)
I was to be at my mothers for dinner at one on new years day but as I finished work at about half for the night before I slept in and was late going out, I did not want a row so I rang my X and asked him to meet me at our house as I did not have a key with me and not to anything to my family.
when I got to the house there was no one there, after a few min he pulled up with my mother, my sister(who knew about the man I met) and two of my brothers.
(my kids were with my dad). My so called sister told all, so they decided to gang up on me, but enough was enough I could not take it any more so I left...
That was jan '04. My dad gave him my kids, and have spent every day since fighting to get them back, but when you have a for a mother who will get up and say you are un fit to be a mother, just because I DISCRASED the family by having an afar (but its OK for her daughter to be hit) its hard and I am at the end of my strength now 4 years is a long time to be fighting (I WILL NEVER GIVE UP) but I just don't know what I can do now, I have tried everything that I can think of but nothing works... I NEED HELP!!
