How to get rid of an abusive husband?

Question

I called the police. He came back and threatened me. He locked me in my room and beat me. If i get a restraining order it will look bad in court when i go to get custody of my kids back from my mom. I love him but not enough to be with him anymore. At times i wanna kill myself but i have to worry about my 3 yr old son. Theres so much going on in my life. We were ttc til he became abusive. I honestly dont know what to do. Suicide seems the only way right now after i send my son to live with my grandmother. I feel theres no other way out. Plz n e one help.

Answer

Thanx for all the advice. I got him sectioned into an alcoholic program and he will see a therapist and get help. Im not taking him back. Im getting an emergency housing transfer and relocating my job. Im glad i didnt resort to suicide cuz my kids need me. I know that. Thank u so much

Answer

Get that restraining order! And maybe you could stay with your mom a bit too? If not change the locks on your house so he can't get back in. The most dangerous time in an abusive relationship is when you cut ties. Take a different route to work and shop at different stores for a while. Don't hesitate to call the police. And please don't take your life. This will get better soon and you don't want to give him that satisfaction. You need to pick yourself up and let him watch (from a great distance) you blossom into the wonderful women and mother you will be without him. There will be no greater revenge than for him to know how much better you are without him. You have all of us here if you ever need to talk and there's also the domestic abuse hotline. They are there just to talk, find you resources, and even advise you how to get out of this and keep your son. Call them please. Much love.

Answer

Suicide is NOT the only way. You are reaching out for advice, this is good, keep going until you have your life the way YOU want it to be. You are worth everything to yourself and your children. They need their mother - a stable one and happy one. You can do it. Get a restraining order too. That would be a good start. That man has nothing positive to contribute to your beautiful future with your kids.

Answer

The police should lock him up! Nobody ever deserves to be treated badly! Its YOUR life you chose the right path to take, i feel that you should go to court and get him locked away for good. He doesn't deserve you or your kids, imagen if he started to hurt them! Please get him locked away and as far away from you and your children as possible, good luck x

Answer

Please please call the police, get a restraining order. This is the right thing to do for you and your kids. Getting a restraining order shouldn't affect having your kids, it should help as you are protecting them. 
​Now, please do not think about suicide again. I beg you. You are being strong, take care of you and your kids. Do everything you can to get rid of this abusive person and be happy with your kids. 
​You have a future to enjoy, don't let this horrible person make you feel like that is the only option. 
​
​Big hugs to you. Xxx

Answer

Also getting a restraining order wouldn't look bad in court, if anything it shows you are doing what it takes to keep you and your children safe and giving them a stable life.  Show them you are strong enough to stand up for yourself an that abusive behaviour will not be tolerated

Answer

Get a protection order/ restraining order    Press charges.  Don't have any contact with him. Stay strong when you are feeling like you miss him.  If he calls/texts don't reply. If you need to, stay in a safe house/ haven house    I've been in a similarl situation before, it's not easy but I bet you won't regret getting that person out of your life.  I sure don't
