Me and my boyfriend have been together almost 2 years. i left my house to be with him. i had it all... a loving family, a beatiful room, a great life. i just never appreciated it until now. i live with my boyfriend. im 3 months pregnant. We often fight, and when he gets mad at me for not listening to him or talking too much, he loses his temper and hits me. at first he'll push me and tell me to lay down, but i am stubborn and dont listen. we fight, and he ends up hitting me. what hurts is i love this guy, and im having his baby. sometimes i feel i have no way out of this. ive tryed leaving him, but he doesnt accept me breaking up with him. he gets furious! he tells me to stop talking nonsense! he tells me he will never let me go no matter how much i try. im only 15. any advice?

Sweetie, what you're talking about here is someone who is abusive and violent. You said you are having his child, do you want to bring a child into that kind of a situation? Because if he can hit you, then he can certainly hit the child...and he will. And hurting you while you are pregnant certainly isn't good for either you or the child you are carrying.
So for the sake of yourself and your child, it's time to get out. As fast as you can. You said you had a loving family, how about calling on them? Clearly there are people who care about you, reach out to them and let them help you get out. Also, there are resources out there to help you get out of your situation. Check your local phone book for agencies that help with domestic violence and women's shelters. There are people there who will help you (maybe somebody from that area of the country can suggest a specific place). Also, call the police. Not only is abuse not right, it's a crime. They will also be able to help you find a shelter or an agency to help you get out of the situation.

hey, you're from Covina. I know this is still a long-distance call for you, but it's worth it. There's an organization in LA called Sojourn. They can help you. call 310.264.6644.
Or if you call the STD Hotline in my sig line tomorrow between 9-5, i'll be there. I can give you some help referrals if you want.
