    I was in a very abusive relationship, physically and mentally for 4yrs. He had driven all my friends away to isolate me, many times I tried to leave but still in some weird way loved him and thought I can change him but couldn't. When I actually did leave it was in desperation, I just couldn't take any more. It's hard taking that very first step but it is all so worth it for yourself and your child. If he is physically abusing you, call the police they can help you too and as Divvy said you could apply for an Intervention Order.

    Thanks very much for the advise Dianne.
    Hes not physically abusive but torturing me emotionally and mentally.
    I think theyve got history of mind disorders base on my observations, because same as his brother and father. I would really wish i have the strength to leave. I just couldnt take it, im just worried about my children spec my 9 weeks old son.
    I know it is hard, but i would really want to try.
    Thank you for at least being there by giving some advise.
    I wish we could be able to talk by messenger or chat/facebook sometime.

    I was wondering if there's a local group of migrants that can help you? Sometimes a local community centre or somewhere like that can be of assistance.

    Just remember that emotional abuse is just as bad, sometimes worse than physical abuse.

    I am so sorry you are going through this Charise
    I can really feel your sadness and fear
    My story is very similar to Diannes.
    I was in a relationship with physical, emotion and mental abuse for 4 yrs. It only got worse.
    In the end I called the police and they made him move out and go to anger management.
    I understand how hard it is to leave and end the relationship but you can't or shouldn't have to live in an abusive situation.
    It is not good for you or your children...particularly your daughter.
    Emotion and mental abuse can be worse then physical.
