My husband is extremely abusive and I’m going to get all my stuff out of the house tomorrow while he’s gone on a business trip.

I’m 15+5 with our son. He’s threatened me with a knife; said he’s gonna take our son; called me all kinds of names. My stepson is also extremely mentally disturbed. The situation is just awful and my 15 month old daughter needs a better environment.

I’m on leave from work due to an incident with a mentally ill student and gun.

I’m going to stay with my parents until I go back to work and get some income.

The abuse has escalated so much since I’ve become pregnant. I’m a labor and delivery RN with my masters in education. I know that violence escalates with pregnancy and homicide is one of the top reasons for death among pregnant women.

I refuse to become one of those women.

I’m feeling anxious, terrified, and apprehensive but I can’t take it anymore. I deserve better.

Wish us luck!
