I need domestic violence advice.
I’ve been in a relationship for a year and it’s had its ups and downs. I’m 7 months pregnant and over the weekend my boyfriend punched me in the jaw as I was driving.... A week prior we were at a family get together and he was drinking “Remy”. The whole day he was aggravated so when he got drunk he was worst, long story short. On the way home he thumped me in my ear because I kept turning down the music he wanted to listen to. It was violent rap music and provoking his mood. My ear was throbbing and it hurt and I started tearing up he was calling me “fucking crybaby”. I didn’t say anything because I was so mad and I knew he was just drunk. He wanted me to drive to the liquor store to get more drinks I said no. And drove home. I got out the car and heard the car start up behind me (he had my spare key) he left. I went in the house, took a shower. When he came home he was mad and going off about why my hair was wet... I ignored him because I’m just fed up at this point. He turns around and PUNCHES THE WALL. I got scared and tried to leave but he didn’t let me and I was wrestling to get out the house. I bruised my shoulder because he pushed me into the door knob so I ran to the bathroom locked myself in there for the rest of the night. After hours he sobered up and apologized and said he’s been stressed out because he lost 2 friends to gun violence and said Remy makes him angry and he can’t drink it. FOLLOWING WEEKEND we went over his moms, he was drinking... wine. He said he’s fine if he drinks wine. He got drunk. It was going on midnight and I was SUPER tired and ready to leave but he didn’t want to. I grabbed my keys out of his pocket and left. He followed but I got in the car and slowly pulled off while he was smoking a cigarette. He gets in the car SLAMS the door! And is starring at me with this evil look breathing heavy saying I tried leaving him which was not the case.. I didn’t want the cigarette smell in my car. Drove down the road he said “you know what, take me back to my moms, your acting funny” I said “GLADLY because I don’t want a recap of last weekend. As I was backing up he puts my car in drive! So I drove forward to turn around LIKE HE ASKED OF ME. When I turned onto oncoming traffic he noticed I was turning into his moms neighborhood, TURNS MY STEERING WHEEL almost hitting a car! And said to take him home. I said NO! And continued to turn and he punched my jaw. Since that night Ive just been at a lost of words. I can’t look at him, I’m stressing myself out trying to figure out what my next move is. I don’t know if I should go to my parents because they will HATE HIM. I just don’t know. But at this point I don’t want to be with him. I’m in school and he’s supporting me financially I graduate around my due date August 7th. So should I wait the next few months out? Or talk to my mom about staying with her and leave. With me staying he’s getting the idea that I’m giving him a second chance to make it up which is not the case. We sleep in the same bed and he tries cuddling me so all through the night I’m just pushing him off. Idk what to do.
