    Thank you so much everybody, everyone has been so nice and supported to me. THANKS.
    I work part time , and i use my money to buy shopping and to save every year to see my family , it is very expensive to fly there ( £650) and now with my daughter being 2 it will cost up to £1000 to go there. I can not take her with me because to enter to Argentina without her parent's permission, she is a british citizen.
    i had a long chat with him, he seems to realize he did things wrong. and i am determined. if the situation does not improve i am moving out. i know a girl who has a child too, she is getting divorce and needs some money , so i might be able to rent a room in her house.
    i will book an appoinment with the doctor on tuesday as i work monday.
    i dont live in Cardiff, i live in the north, anyway that was very kind of "you".
    i like british people, i only need to be less shy and make friends to make a life here.
    i will start taking driving classes soon and then i will have freedom.

    ps. i had to edit the post as i have given to much info about myself and i live in a small place, i dont want people to know, i always been strong .

    Think about your situation, and that of your child. Imagine this were happening to your sister..........what would you tell her to do?

    This man sounds like complete bas*ard - he won't change, no matter how often he says he will. Grab your courage and your daughter and leave him.

    Finally, please, please don't take it out on the little one when he's mean to you. It's not her fault and she will soon understand what's going on even if she doesn't now!
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    Why do you question the validity of this post? Is there something suspicious about it or are you generally a non-trusting soul?

    Good luck Latina it must be very difficult in a foreign land and there is some good advice.

    Your man sounds like an idiot, and you've given him more chances than he deserves.

    The reason your self esteem is low is because of HIM. Personally I think you should ask him to leave, as it sounds like you're doing a brilliant job bringing up your daughter almost on your own!

    He sounds like one of those people who feels good from making other people feel bad. Please leave him. He probably won't change.
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Good luck Latina.

    From what you have said, you might be best off taking your daughter away and starting a new life with her away from your husband.
