Abuse

» Unsure2006 - I need someones opinion

Well I have been with this guy for almost 5 years and married for three we have a child. The past year that we have been together we get into these fights and he gets physically abusive to me, although he claims he is doing this in self defensie (sp)although I have never been the one to start the hitting, today he came after me and choked me while yelling in my face that I was crazy and stupid, he has slammed my head into the door and punched me numerous times in the face and when I bring these things up to him he tells me that I deserve it and I was the one who started the fight. Everytime we get into fights even if he does not get physical he tells me I am crazy, stupid and etc...I really want to tell someone but I don't think anyone will be believe me because to our families and friends we appear to be the perfect couple as they say. Everytime I threaten to tell someone or call the cops he tells me that they will not believe me because I have hit him back to get away from him, he tells me that I will never get to see my child again because it is all my fault.I just would like some advice from someone is he right, I want to leave but I do not want to lose my child, please give me some advice! Thank you!
