the man I was once knew had suddenly changed to this monster "devil", just last year. He was arrested three times in a month last october for beating the heck out of me. The day after his third arrest a domestic violence counselor that worked with the police station came by to interview me and speak with me about the situation I was in. From what the counselor has read from all police reports that was made, she asked me if I knew the word "schizophrenia", and that was what my boyfriend had. Throughout the 6 years we've been together I could believe this was happening to him and me. With out 3 1/2 year old daughter, witnessing all the abuse and beating i've endured, i'm still not able to let go. All the false accusations he has on me till this very moment pushes me further to prove that he his wrong. He halucinates suddenly, says i've cheated on him with his nephew, brother and so forth the list goes on and on. I just want to prove to him that all the negative he puts in his head his so not true. I'm sure he knows that i've done nothing to hurt him, unlike all the cheating and pain he has done, in the past, to make him think i've done wrong. But, i'm scared for him. He punches himself on the head, talks to himself, does not answer when our daughter and I call for him, like he does not hear us. He calls me witch, like i'm doing some voodoo. See last year in septmeber, we had gone to a mental hospital where they evaluated him, his response was surely way off. The doctor is asking my boyfriend to stay, for treatment, therefore he is told that he has a mental disorder, at first he was willing to stay, then suddenly he refused. I yelled at me the doctor, and others in the hospital. Yes i'm frightened for myself and kid, but I love him to much just to abandom him. Am I doing the right thing in forcing myself to stay?
