I need to leave my husband!
My husband and I have been married for 5 years in July. We just had an all out brawl tonight. We pretty much started fighting about nothing like always and then it blew up like it always does. Anyway we have two kids together and I have one son from a previous relationship. I'm also pregnant. When I was pregnant with my last child, which I just had her in Nov. we decided that I would be a stay at home mom. Also all of his money that he gets from his job goes to his own bank account and the only money that I get is from my child support from my oldest child which isn't enough to make it on my own with three kids and being pregnant. We just don't get along anymore we fight all the time. I need to get away and my family lives in Iowa and I live in NC but they won't help me anymore because I tried to leave him last year and that only lasted a month and they helped me and they weren't too happy that I went back to him. Now he is threatening me that if I leave the state that he will get me arrested and take the kids like I'm kidnapping them. So it's like I'm stuck and he won't get out of the house even though his parents live right here and he actually has somewhere else to go and I don't I'm stuck here with him. Also, he spanks my oldest with a belt. I'm not against spanking like a little swat on the butt with pants on but nothing too hard but he is all into spanking with a belt. What should I do and I'm scared when he will start with my second child he keeps saying he's not old enough yet but I'm scared for the day when he actually is or when my daughter will be. I got spanked with a belt when I was little and I promised myself that I would never do that to my kids. I need help any suggestions would help!
