My almost 2 year old daughter and I are staying in a hotel tonight. I’m due to have another baby in 6 weeks. Stay at home mom, no family close by.

My husband has been emotionally abusive for the last year and it’s turned physical. He’s hurt my daughter while trying to keep me from her and breaks through doors, pushes me in the stomach, twists my wrists, etc. He calls me a whore, slut, bitch, etc. my daughter now repeats the word “bitch”.

Today he tried to block me from getting my daughter out of the car (after he’d called me a bitch and said disgusting things about my family the whole drive home). He put his body on top of hers while pushing me and she just kept crying and crying. I tried to pull him off of her and he wouldn’t let go. I started to have contractions so he finally put her down and we left.

He apparently called the cops and said I beat him. Last time I called the cops on him, they didn’t do anything. I’ve been trying to save money to leave but it’s hard without a job. I have nowhere to stay after tonight if I want to be close to my doctor.

I never thought I’d be in this situation and I’m hurting so much for my daughter. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to go back there.
