Girl. This is a typical domestic violence case!

Let's be honest to ourselves, do men ever change??? Not really!

Not to discourage u or anything, but if he did it once, he can very well do it again.

U know if he gone thru the class and becomes well better, congrats. If he hits u even just one more time, u know to leave him!!!!

I think we can be nice and give him one more chance.

And please do not stay with him even if you love him so so so much after he hits u the second time ok?

He Hit You And You Dont Know If You Should Give Him a 2nd ..
Think of it this way...

Are you willing to have what happened to your friend happen to you?????

Do you want you baby to grow up in that kinda home????

It is true, this is a start.... I don't see him changing (could happen) but you are carring his child, that did not stop him are the classes going to???? Are you willing to take the chance????

Believe me it is easier to leave now then after the 2, 3, 4, etc. Hit/fight!
I am talking from experience. I was hit, then comes the jealousy, mind games, but then came my pg, and I had to get out for my babies sake/life. Best thing I did, his next girlfriends had to go to the hospital. Basically my pg/baby saved my life, by saving "its" life and leaving. He would just slap me, hit the wall, and through things no biggy right, it was not always like that but he said he was sorry why not give him another chance. I was stupid to have even given him the 2nd chance.

Sorry, I just hate to hear about a bf hitting a girl, guess it brings back memories that I can never let go of. I was stupid. I think that it is great you are asking, cause I never did. I would hide it!

Good luck, let me know if I can help, hope to have scared you enough to leave, but to scare you was not my intention, just open your eyes. But it is true what happened to me, please don't let it happen to you.

My son is now 10 and we are happy. I have married (2years now) a wonder husband and father for my son. The bio father said that I would never find anyone.... I did regret it at times (loneliness and being a single parent) not always, I was busy enjoying my son. And now, no regrets, like I said it got worse and his gf made it all the ways to the er one just had his 2nd baby too (only days old).

You can give him a second chance, but why take the chances. I now think of it this way, "you hit me once, and I won't give you the opportunity to do it again' that once is a way of him saying good bye.... And being pg with his child gives you more of a reason to walk away......

My sister is going through this too, but she let him stick around as "friends" friends when his new gf aint around.. When the gf is around they harass her. Last weekend he threw her down and choked her. After running into her car with his. You see where my passion comes from.

Good luck and think hard

Domestic Violence
Please - take the time to speak with your doctor about domestic violence. Look for help, organizations dealing with domestic violence, shelters, anything. There are support groups for you, there are treatment programs he can attend. You are not to blame. You can not hold his hand through these things. There is a cycle of violence and is does not tend to end just because he says so.

Understand what the signs of d.V. Are and understand that you need to seek safety. Call a d.V. Advocate and discuss a safety plan. No one should be subjected to d.V whether through a fist to the face or the constant emotional and psychological battering.

Children are the unwilling victim of domestic violence and many times are abused themselves (sexual and physical) and also have a tendency to grow up into an abuser. Please go see the national coalition's site on d.V. (www.Ncadv.Org) good luck and remember, you are not to blame and you are not alone.
