I hate myself for not leaving when I seen the red flag

I been in a very abusive relationship for 4 years, the first year he did horrendous things to me and I stood thinking it’s because he didn’t know what he was doing, I was so wrong and so naive. 3 years later nothing has changed but has gotten worst. Just alone this year my ex was arrested 19 times , I drop the charges each time, he got off jail recently because of ME. I felt so bad and more because I needed financial help, I didn’t think of the abuse he would cause my son and I . Abusers will continue to abuse and manipulate. They are fucking selfish. I even felt more bad because he had nowhere to go,m when he came of jail, 2 weeks later he threw things at me , the food I cooked he literally took the chicken and threw in my face, he kidnapped my son in another argument and I deeply regret ever letting him back. All those promises of change, out the window, I lost my job AGAIN. My ex sits on his ass , has not worked, I’m left to take care of 2 kids basically. Behind my decision making, now I don’t want him and I don’t want to help him I thought things would be different from sitting in jail…. Nope,he never got a job , exhausted me of all my energy, and money . I have to cook for him and myself but since he’s a big guy I have to cook a lot of food, he doesn’t help me with my son, he will get angry at my son for moving too much, he doesn’t play with him so much only sometimes, he makes me leave my 1 year old son in a room watching cartoons so I can spend time with my ex for hours. I get so annoyed but this is my fault. I’m ashamed to have gone through this and put my kids through it and for what. For a guy who wants sex 24/7 doesn’t respect my wishes, doesn’t help or work but he has so many needs and wants. He gets so mad at the little things because of the scenarios he makes in his head. I swear this will be my last time . I have to muster up the strength to leave forever! Never look back. Put my mind right so I can plan to leave safely . I never thought I’d go through this , iv been with men who had issues and I have lost so money time and energy. I don’t want to ever be with anyone again

I can relate to everything you have gone through.. I am so sorry.

You're already carrying all the weight. The next time he goes to jail (and you have a job) this will buy you enough time to go to the courthouse and get a restraining order. Then if he violates he looks at a significant amount of time. My ex already violated once.

He will never change he is a scummy human being. the world would be better without abusers

@ElwoodBlues yes it’s not as easy as blaming the victim and just telling them to leave. In a domestic violence situation when the victim leaves their chances of homicide go up by 500% majority of murders that occurred today are domestic violence related
@DeluxedEdition To be fair, I don't think any of the others are blaming the victim, they just don't understand the risks. Neither did I until you posted. As you point out, the tactic of getting a restraining order is essential, and while the creep is in jail is the perfect time.

@ElwoodBlues a lot of people don't understand it unless they have been in it themselves. I used to ask the same question "why does she stay" and then you find out

I bet you felt better when you'd written this?
I read it as a personal outpouring of grief, regret and sadness.
I'm sure there are other relationships just like this where a partner is frightened to move (or breathe) in case it's wrong.
You cannot let this 'person' back into your life, so now you've mustered up the courage, please, see it through.
Your life should be a happy one, you sound like a hard working girl and a natural home maker, you try to please too much, you go through lots of unnecessary hurt & heartache for no gain, all in hope that this torment will just disappear - but instead it stays the same.
Sometimes it's better to stay on your own.
One step at a time...

Firstly deal with getting out of this relationship before you look at future ones.

Remember, how you feel about future relationships can and may change with time and healing - which is why that's not as important as getting out of your current abusive situationship is.
You have to stand up for yourself, no one will get the things for you

Please just leave him. You are better off without him. Put yourself and your child first. As they say with a fire, get out and stay out.
Beautiful part is you can just be on your own… once you’re on your own. Leave him.
Yeah, pretty stupid to put up with that. Kinda only got yourself to blame. There are organizations that could help you. Too bad.
