To leave or to stay?
I am pregnant and due any day now. When my husband is sober, he’s great. When he drinks he’s a completely different person. Tonight we got into an argument and I’m the type to just listen hoping it’ll stop, but when I’ve had enough I say something to stand my ground. He kept belittling me during the argument and then out of nowhere just explodes and throws his phone and drink across the room, punches the wall, knocks a picture off the wall and kicks it down the hallway and then later punches the door. He makes it out like this behavior he’s showing is my fault. At this point I’m in the floor crying and having a panic attack trying to calm myself down for the sake of my child inside me and he’s STILL cussing at me, belittling me, calling me stupid and then snatches my phone out of my hand so I can’t “be stupid and call someone.” It honestly scared me and I jumped and once again he cusses at me saying that he’d never lay his hands on me and how stupid I was to put on a show like he was going to hit me or something. I kept asking him to stop for the baby’s sake because I was trying to calm down and breathe and then a few minutes later I started having some contractions and I tried to tell him and he tells me to just “go on to the hospital by myself because I’ve made it clear I only care about the baby.” I don’t know what to do. Part of me really wants to leave, but I know this isn’t my husband. It’s alcohol and I’ve begged and begged him to stop drinking and he just won’t. He will for a day or two and then he’s right back. Also I’m not sure that I have enough time before the baby gets here to get all of our things out and set up somewhere else even if I did find a way to leave. Please pray for me to make the right decision.
