I am 32 weeks pregnant with a toddler and have a strong gut feeling to run away

I had to run away from my sons abusive dad and was sooooo happy with my life and raising my son myself. I met a guy and instantly moved in with him, his mom and aunt and got pregnant. He’s 26 and I’m 21. He’s a full on mommy’s boy. We were happy until I got pregnant I started seeing his true colors. From his drinking days to being belittled as a mother. I cook and clean everyday for this man and it’s never enough for him. He’s extremely jealous and insecure. He’s a very veryyy manipulative person and I can see through all his bullshit. I’ve had the feeling of running away once I seen the red flags 7 months ago but now I’m 8 months prego and feeling like this again. I’ve said sorry for things that didn’t need a apology from me just to make him and us “happy”. I can’t take it anymore. He says he fell in but I can’t let my son continue seeing me argue back and forth & crying with this guy. And I don’t want my new baby seeing me like this.
Has anyone just ran away with there babies?

Stay away from men for a while and focus on your two children, don’t just move in with any man because he’s so great, don’t get pregnant from men you don’t really know as well. It’s harsh but it’s the truth. Focus on yourself and your two kids for a while, the right man will come a long when you least expect it but for now you need to focus on your little ones and yourself.

Get this bastard locked up if he’s abusive.
Don’t stick around, take your kids and leave

I agree with Katherine Morris. Contact a DV agency/shelter & get out. Cut off contact completely. It will get worse after baby is born even if the 2 of you aren’t together. That baby will be his pawn to use to hurt you emotionally. Run, leave his name off the BC, don’t apply for CS (even if you need public assistance there are ways around it. A DV agency can help with that). Move a distance away preferably in another county or better yet state. Yeah every child deserves 2 parents. But not if they’re going to be used to hurt the other.

This sounds like me and how my sons dad was.minus the alcohol. You are saying sorry all the time to avoid arguments if you have that gut feeling of leaving then go if your son is seeing his parents argue it will stay with him my son sore my ex and I argue about the crappiest things he was 4 and now he is 8, I am single now my son still remembers it all children have fantastic memories and you deserve better then a narcissist because the longer you allow this the longer he will think he has you wrapped around his finger. Your children come first now especially their safety.

Yes. Get a plan together, there are plenty of resources in your local county/community. Once you have your plan together, secretly gather yours and your children’s beloved because you don’t want to have to go back and find a safe place for yourself and your babies. Your local county office is filled with all kinds of resources to help❤

I ran, before mine was born. Best decision ever :tada: And then he caught up with me and the abuse continued under the excuse of visitation. To the point where he would sneak into my apartment building or even chase me down the street insulting me. So I ran again and changed countries. Coparenting is still hell, but I have peace of mind being away from him :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Just Leave you can do it. Don’t send yourself through that agony

Take your child and leave. And after you get gone, you’re a mother of 2 children now. Please don’t meet a guy and instantly move in. You have innocent children to protect here and you NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHO THIS IS IF YOU DECIDE TO SHARE A HOME WITH before you possibly find yourself in another abusive and toxic situation. There is absolutely ZERO way to know someone in a short period of time. Everyone can put in a halo at the beginning of a relationship and it can take MONTHS for the red flags to trickle out. Because you can’t keep up the fake new relationship persona forever. Take your time. Get to know someone, and if they’re pushing for things to move fast, that in itself is a RED FLAG because they know they have to get you hooked before you see the other warning signs.

Do it… trust ur gut instinct… it won’t get better… it will get worse… ur life and ur children’s life are worth so much more… and stop apologising… his shitty behaviour has repercussions… make sure u make him take responsibility for his shitty behaviour… run huni… u deserve to be treated better

I’ve never been in this situation before. I know people who had. The first step is to make sure all your important documents are together like birth certificates, social security cards and etc. Go to a local police department explain the situation. If you never had a complaint on your boyfriend tell them why. They will give you resources and steps on what to do next. Make sure u have everything you need because once you leave that home it can be dangerous to try to go back.

Next time you meet a man, do NOT instantly move in with him. That was your first mistake :woman_facepalming:t2: but regardless, do what everyone is telling you, move out and give birth in a different state.

Get out and never look back. Unfortunately, if he wants to be in the new baby’s life there is not a whole lot you can do about it after you leave, unless he is unfit to parent and there would have to be evidence or investigation to determine that. What you need to focus on now, is making a good life for you and your children. Word of advice as well… Don’t just move in with someone like that. You are exposing your children to people they don’t really need interaction with until you know the person is the right fit for you and the kiddos. I only say this because you said you instantly moved in with this other guy. Get to know them. Best of luck! Make sure you get out though!

If u have somewhere to go GO don’t think about it, you’ve been through it before you already know red signs, go protect your babies

Definitely run before you have the baby, I’m so sorry your going through this again :heart:

I would leave before you have the baby and DO NOT I repeat do NOT put him on the birth certificate if you want to be able to remain gone.

Also I know others are shaming you for moving in with someone so quickly but you are young and you were fleeing a bad situation and unfortunately landed in another bad one. It happens, don’t beat yourself up over it… just learn from it and move forward.
I’ve been there too with no where to go and a seemingly nice guy so I moved in too soon and it never ends well.
Please be aware that you will likely gravitate towards these kinds of people until you do some healing and maturing so it’s best to approach relationships with caution rn

If Your gut is telling you to run, then RUN… The Sirens are screaming for a reason. There is no shame in protecting you, your toddler and unborn baby…

Get out now while it’s easier as when the baby comes he will never let you leave. Just then focus on you and your babies they need the mum who ran from an abusive relationship before they want that strong mum. You will get there and maybe one day you will find love but for right now it’s about you and your babies. Good luck I wish you all the best x

Mama just go! You fled the first time when you knew you were in a bad situation. Remove yourself from the toxicity now before things get worse.

Young one get out of that environment- all your little one is seeing is bad. The man( boy) will only get worse - unless he gets help for himself by himself. It will be hard - but your children will see you and what behavior you model.

Go girl what are you waiting for you will be good you got this

Good for you for recognizing the toxicity.

I wish I did. Would have saved me years of abuse. Listen to your gut. There’s help out there when you leave. So your not alone. Look into programs now and go with your Gut.

Thats your intuition, listen to it!!!

Unlike some at least you see your mistakes and admit them and no it isn’t too late. It’s time to move on and focus on you and your babies only. I’m also hearing that you feel as you can’t be alone too. I could be wrong but you have got to stop looking for men and focus on those babies sweetie. Sounds like you have a head on your shoulders and can see toxic which is great but you can’t keep putting your children in those situations either. Run Mama and take care of those kids
