I have a 5 year old child who will be turning 6 in may I can't have a decent relationship with her because my now exhusband is abusive and because the courts gave him primary custody of my child it seems like he feels like he has more power to do so. When I was 15 I met this man ono the internet he sent me a ticket to meet him he was 21 then I got pregnant and he was verbally abusive to me and sometimes physically . He actuially knocked my daughter out my hands when shw was 8 months and his family was there and didn't do one thing. When she was 2 she "got on his nerves so bad" as he said and knocked her into a wall because his daddy knew everyone in the little town we stayed in the police never did anything his family never did anything so I sat scared for a very long time. Until I turned 20 and decided enough was enough I left and took my daughter and went to stay with some mutual friends his family and him went and got a lawyer and claimed that I never ever had my daughter and my child lived with him and I came and took her one day and left because I couldn't afford a attorney no one listened to me I felt like basically the state of Texas was saying to me it was okay that this man abused me no I didn't have any police reports because they would never take them down. My daughter is 5 and can tell stories of how her dad kicked me in to a television and tried to knock me down stairs. Now he has gotten to the point where on the norm if he isn't asking me to have sex with him then he telling me he hope I die and he hopes I die in my sleep he hates me and I'm a sorry so and sorry how can I get my daughter back I am not married again and my husband is in iraq I have been and will always be a great mother I have my 5 month old this man could hurt me at anytime what am I to do?
