I don't want to scare you. But you need to leave. It will only get harder once the baby arrives. Women are at greatest risk immediately after a baby is born and when they are trying to leave their abuser. Don't tell him you're leaving, don't give him any chance to find out. https://refuge.org.uk/i-need-help-now/i-am-being-abused/ Please take care of yourself x
I did not want to use those exact words but Tanya said it and she is right. Regardless of the level or the type of abuse. I am a strong woman but right after birth I felt the weakest I had ever been as everything was new and I was doubting myself. Luckily I have a loving husband who picked me up and helped with everything to do with our baby. And even then with hormone hurricanes I still found the very beginning extremely challenging. Now everything is great. So with that, I am just trying to echo what Tanya underscored - most relationships take a dip after birth, and in your situation you don’t want things to get worse.
I can’t unfortunately we live in a very isolated area & I don’t even have a car , I understand what yall are saying but I cannot go anywhere at the moment
It’s so worrying to hear this. After the baby is born, things get tough even in the most loving relationships. So if I was you, I’d try to find a way you can minimise anything negative around you. Don’t be shy to turn to your family/friends. Here’s also a support network as advised by NHS. https://www.nationaldahelpline.org.uk/
