This is a rather sensitive post, I added it anonymously because I'm very ashamed that I have allowed this to go on and I was such a idiot... I'm 26 I got married really young when I was 21 to a older man we are 19yrs apart. We have a two year old daughter and for the last few years he as been really abusive.. I have had black eyes, busted lips, bruises everywhere. He has choked me to the point where he almost killed me.. he beat me with an extention cord.. he punched me in my face while my daughter was in my arms he as through tables chairs at me.. and you ask after all this why I haven't left well yes I love him but the thing is when we had our daughter be hated my family and he said if anything happen to me he wanted to make sure they couldn't take her from him so he convinced me to sign all rights over to him.. that's why I can't Leave because I refuse to let my daughter stay with him.. is there Anywya I can leave him with my daughter and not end up in jail please help me I'm ready to leave but I want him out of my daughter and my life for good! I'm scared and yes I have proof of the abuse I made a secrets album and every time it happens I take pictures just in case I need it later
