Confused Abused and Underappreciated

by Brianna

I have been with my boyfriend for two years and we have a 7 month old son together and i love them with all my heart. But he is abusive towards me, physically and mentally. He is always putting my ideas and my job down, always telling me I am a "headcase".

He works full time and I appreciate everything he does, but it isn't about money. I deserve to be treated good. I do everything to make him happy and he is always miserable to be home. And when he gets angry, he lashes out and attacks me physically and mentally. He refuses to spend time with me and our son but instead plays video games.

I am brokenhearted and beside myself. I just want him to grow up and realize what he has and what he is losing, and how he should be treating us. What do i do?!?!?!
