I Want to Be In a Healthy Loving Relationship

We usually tell ppl to leave an abusive relationship, however we need to tell them how to do so. I'm afriad to leave mine as im afraid my child grows up wo a father figure, I am holding on to hope that my bf will change, Im afraid I'll be cutting off a group of ppl that love my child. However he don't sleep w me, we don't communicate even when were on good terms and he has a lot of support from his friends.

It is perfectly fine to stay in a relationship for the child! However if there is fighting or abuse separate unless he gets some counseling because that is bad for kids. But divorce can be very hard on kids too and expensive even if you are just living together and not married. Can you tell him what you need ? And Gather more support for yourself.
Also if you are going to leave have a safety plan and know where to go and plan it out so you have plenty of people around you and good resources. Talk to a counselor maybe to get some advice?
