I had 4 children from a previous relationship when we met. He was charming and lovely. Until a few months in, it all changed. He became abusive towards my children. Threatened them. Threatened me if I did Anything about it. I eventually after 3 years got An avo... I had already had a child to him. He threatens to take him off me everyday if I have anything bad to say. He told me so many lies to get money from me, I have given him about 40,000 because of his apparent problems. When I realised what was going on and stopped giving him money he turned really abusive and nasty . He threatens to take our son off me. He has left with him once and I had to get a recovery order. I put up with things just to keep him happy. I just found out I was pregnant again but I lost it, he yelled and screamed at me and was very unpleasant to me. I can't do this any more. He is extremely mean and I feel I have no place to go</P> Sat, 13 Jan 2024 12:41:11 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/relationship-and-family-issues/help-me/m-p/582760#M51861 Katie84 2024-01-13T12:41:11Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/relationship-and-family-issues/help-me/m-p/582766#M51863 <P>Hello Katie84</P><P>You &amp; your children certainly are in a very distressing situation, being abused by your partner.
