sounds to me that he has a control issue. are you aware of abuse in his past at home? does somebody there use abuse? it also sounds like you care for this guy and most will tell you not to. but in all honesty he can change. only if he wants to and only if he sees it as a problem. that's the hard part. but first you need to make sure you and your child are safe. check out the shelters in your area, find out what kind of support you can get. even an ear to listen to you really does help when it gets

'tough ' for you .... good luck & stay safe
