@Lisa you are right and i know it, i realize few months ago he was a narcissist im at the point talking to myself that i have to leave but never take the step
PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!PLEASE! You still have enough time to file a police report. I know you don’t want to. Trust me I was in your shoes at one point. But please get a police report and go to the hospital regarding the bruise and speak to the domestic violence hotline about any other resources !! You need to do this for the sake of child custody!! My ex narc is trying to control me by using the court with our only child and I look back now and regret the times I didn’t report him because I was afraid of him but please more evidence the better for the future! Even if you go back to him please just have something in the system to protect YOUR baby in the future!
Girl you have already taken the first step telling yourself you want to leave. Be brave, it’s better to suffer as a single mother than to be married and single with all the trauma you are experiencing. You will be fine, let go of all your fears and take that bold step.
You’re setting a terrible example for your child to stay with him. He’s a waste of your time and will never change. Get out now. He has shown who he is. You have nothing to gain. If you had a friend in your position, what would you say? What would you think?
