I am in a situation and I need help to find a way out. I have been in a relationship for 11 years. Yeah, I know it sounds crazy! Well, it all happend back when I was 12 years old and in middle school. I saw a cutie who told me he went to the hight school down the street. It wasn’t until I was 18 that he told me his real age. He is 15 Years older than me. Yep, old enough to be my dad. Not only that — he has a 25-year-old child. i dont know how I didn’t know all this in the begining. Well, my problem is, he had become abusive. We have fights all the time. One time I was hospitalized. I have never reported him. I know you’re wondering why I haven’t, well we have kids together — four to be exact. We have a 10-year-old, a 7-year-old, a 5-year-old and a 4-month-old. when I want to do all the things that I know I should do, like call the cops and get a restraining order, I think of them. He has hit me in front of the kids. I keep denying it, saying we were just playing. Please help me. We live together. I stopped working. He pays for everything but everything is in my name. What should I do. Steve, don’t be too hard on me.
