    If not for yourself get out for your children, this will affect them for the rest of their lives.

    The right man is out there, one that will cherish you and your children and NEVER ever even think of hitting. Please get out, get help.

    How will he know it's you for sure if you have changed your username? Please do something tonight and get out of there - it's difficult but your safety and that of your children comes first.

    Call the police if you can't leave.

    Call Women's Aid if you don't have the strength yet to call the police. Please take pictures of your injuries and upload them to photobucket or create a second email addy for yourself and email them there so that you have a copy of them, and delete your outbox where you've sent them from. Clear all your cookies on your computer and delete your history and he will have no way of knowing what you've been looking at today.

    It takes a lot of courage to stay and even more to leave, we can support you as much as you need until you find the strength to leave, but please don't leave it too late. If you contact the police and they arrest him, he will be held overnight, and will not be allowed back near you, and you can then also get a non molestation order to help keep him away until you work out how to move forward. If you have some family you can turn to, do so, they will be happy to come help you, even if they have to travel. Don't think you have to put up with this, you don't. xxx

    Phone the police asap and take photos of the damage he has done to you right now. Having children is even more reason to leave.

    It is like a dog biting you, when it gets put down. Once a man hits you he can never be trusted again not to do it. Please make a complaint to the police.

    To be honest, if I had just beaten my partner who had four children and found a post on a message board I knew my partner to use about someone with four kids having been beaten up then I could easily make the connection. Furthermore, even if he doesn't know "for sure" we're talking about someone who beats his wife anyway - these people rarely need solid evidence as an excuse to start using their fists. I'm also guessing the OP isn't net-savvy enough to know how to delete history and temporary internet files or to turn on private browsing features. If the OP would like to let me know which browser she is using I will happily tell her how to do this.

    The OP needs to take her children out of the house and to the police station immediately where she can a) make a complaint and b) receive assistance from the police officers, particularly the specialist support officers, who will ensure that she is safe and protected, providing a place to stay if necessary.

    My dad used to hit my mum - threw her down the stairs once - and as a child I used to scream for him to stop, harrowing is an understatement. If you don't get out for your own health and sanity, do it for your kids. Be brave and strong, best wishes.

    i feel like ending it all,just so i can get away

    Don't end it all, end the relationship. Think about yourself and your 4 children. Leave. Good luck.
