I want out of this abusive relationship

How do I go about getting my 3 kids and I out of an abusive situation?

My boyfriend yells at my 2 older kids all the time. Usually for no good reason. When they don't respond the way he thinks they should, he will beat them upside the head or kick them.

He tells me I am lazy and never do any cleaning, when I spend 7 or 8 hours a day cleaning and he has it completely destroyed in the first 5 minutes he gets home from work.

He says that it is his way or the highway. Today he came home from work and told us he was cleaning his way and if it doesn't stay that way my 2 older kids and I are to leave, and that he is taking my (our) 10 week old baby will be staying with him.

He accused me of using the baby as an excuse for not wanting to sleep with him anymore because I told him that we can't leave him unattended. I told him that bedroom activities need to happen when my older 2 are still up so they can watch their brother. Then he yelled at me because I never get it started anymore. If he wants it shouldn't he be the one to start it? Besides, I have tried to start it and he keeps shutting me down.

He also is complaining that I don't help financially. Well, if it weren't for me he wouldn't be eating, he wouldn't have soap for showers, there wouldn't be gas in the vehicles, he wouldn't have his cigarettes. Actually, I pay more than twice the amount toward household expenses than he does.

I don't have anywhere to go, and with my car broken down I have no way to get there. What should I do?

start packing secretely, and then one day when he is at work, start walking. Don't stop until he can't find you, and never call or come back.........I'm so sorry this happened to you, good luck.

my advice would be to go to the police. this is not fair and more importantly he is breaking the law!! he should not be physically abusing you or your children. the situation about sleeping with him; why should he expect you to want to sleep with him after treating you that way. if you cant get to the police station CALL THEM. he doesnt sound like he is going to stop this behaviour and you need to get out for you own safety and for the safety of your children.

I hope this helps
