My fiancé and father of my son (and unborn child) is emotionally abusive. He’s controlling and only nice if I’m doing exactly what he wants, he acts like nothing I do is valid and he flips out any time my opinion differs from his.

He has anger issues and I constantly feel like I’m walking on egg shells.

He’s impatient and mean to our one year old son, and I’m so afraid of his constant anger and cursing rubbing off on my sweet little boy.

I guess I’m looking for someone who has left a controlling relationship for some advice.

How’d you do it, and how hard was it for you?
