When I was pregnant he pulled me off the sofa and since then has hit me a number of times. I don't love him as much as I did I don't know what to do, cause things have really changed. What can I do?

reader, anonymous, writes (7 May 2005): Hi hunny. I am sorry to hear that you have become the victim of domestic abuse.The only advice I can really give you is that if you want to salvage this relationship then you may need relationship counselling, but he will need to get anger management counselling too.The only other course of action that you can take - and I am being brutally honest with you even though this may hurt - is to call it a day and leave him, especially since it has escalated to physical abuse now. You also have a very big priority to your daughter. She doesn`t deserve to grow up seeing daddy lose his temper and hitting her mom all the time.Believe me, it would really mess her up in her future and her relationships in the future too. I think that you know in your heart of hearts that I am right. I have been used as a punching bag too. I was stupid though, and let it get to the point of being hospitalised a few times. Please don`t let yourself and your daughter suffer like this any more. The fact that you don`t love him as much any more is hardly surprising, really, now, is it? Just look what he has done to you.Take care and I really do hope I have helped you a little. You are in my thoughts.
