LilMia811 answered Monday June 28 2004, 10:17 pm: I may be too young to be giving you advice, I'm 17 now,... but maybe you need to hear things from a child's perspective. My Dad has a really bad drinking problem. Because of it he hasn't been in my life for almost 10 years. He has missed alot. And when I was a kid, he still missed alot because he was too being his drunk old self to notice me or my sister. he used to hit my mom, and just like you said apologize. the thing is they aren't bad when they are sober, they are bad when they are drunk. And I think the fact that the both of you drink makes it worse. I also think that while your children are still young and really can't remember things, which is now, is when you and your partner should decide to lay off the alcohol and get some help. You guys could even help eachother. I think that once the alcohol is eliminated from your life, things will be alot better. Your partner will treat you good, you will feel good and safe about yourself, and most importantly your children will be happy and safe as well. The last thing you should want is messed up kids. Hope I helped. :)
Derfel answered Monday June 28 2004, 5:17 pm: Hi darling,
This man tells you it will never happen again, trust me it'll keep happening and absolutely will not get any better. People who hit their partner like this have vast psychological problems that can not be resolved easily. Your responsibilities lie with your safety and the safety of your children. Your partner is attempting to control you and your domestic life in an attempt to make him feel bigger and take control of his own feelings. You can not allow this to happen - you've got to take the control back and the longer you leave it, the harder it'll be. Get your self some help and get away from him. Make sure your family know what's going on and they'll get you through this. You can do this, good look and god bless

lynx_wings answered Monday June 28 2004, 5:11 pm: Get away from him. Just stop seeing him. It has happened twice and it will happen again. You're not doing you or your children any favors by staying with him, because he will probably abuse them too, if not now, eventually.
You may also have a legal right to report him to the police for domestic violence. Go to the police station or ask your friends to find out more. [ lynx_wings's advice column | Ask lynx_wings A Question ]

pArIs_mArIe answered Monday June 28 2004, 1:43 pm: You have a distinct animal right to do whatever is necessary to protect you and the health of your offspring...This is abuse, you need to get help and get out... Ive lost an aunt to abuse... he said he would stop.. but it was too late... You dont desereve to be pushed around and for your sake and your childrens you need to leave to make it better...If this only happens when you are both drunk, and IF you want this to work you need to get counseling together.. do something before its too late.. please its not worth it..good luck.. wish you all the best<3 PaRiS mArIe
isthatdisposable answered Monday June 28 2004, 12:57 pm: well, i just learned about this stuff in school. theres a cycle for domestic violence. first its walking on eggshells where he is not letting u do certain things or talk to certain people or whatever and then theyres the explosion where he hits you then theres the honeymoon where he says hes sorry and never happen again. you need to get out before its too late. what hes doing isnt right. you would much rather be without him, right? u deserve so much better and so do your children. go to the police. go to a friend. GET OUT! [ isthatdisposable's advice column | Ask isthatdisposable A Question ]
storageanddisposal answered Monday June 28 2004, 12:05 pm: You already know what you have to do. Stop drinking. From the way you talk, the children are the important ones, right. This senseless domestic violence is going to be terrible for them, especially when they're older. If the fear of raising 2 kids by yourself is the only thing that's keeping this relationship going, then end it. [ storageanddisposal's advice column | Ask storageanddisposal A Question ]
KiSsEs answered Monday June 28 2004, 11:06 am: STOP with the alcohol....it could only make the situation worse! If you stoped drinkin then you wouldn.t be such a nervous wreck. But as for the violence, you need to LEAVE him. A REAL man would never lay a hand on another women, he would also know better than to put you down and call you names. Hes abusing you and one day he could hurt/injure your kids. If you cared for them you would get them out the situation while you still can. Ya it hard to be a single mom but at least you and your family would be out of danger. There are also gvt funds that could help you if you really needed it. but leaving him would make you stronger and an independent women! ~KiSsEs~ [ KiSsEs's advice column | Ask KiSsEs A Question ]
