You need to get out of this situation, how is the tough part... Him being verbally violent to you is not good mainly for your 2 year old. Have you not got a friend you can go live with for a while, I know thats alot to ask a friend but a real friend wouldnt thik twice about you living there until you get your own situation sorted.

get your self a job so you can save up and move out. unfortunately he is the only one that can help himself when he is ready, you can be there and make suggestions but the main effort has to be from him. your poor mum sounds like she needs a break!

Stop having children, get a job,and move into your own place and stopping exposing yourself and your family to the abuse. Make sure the fathers are paying child support so you won't have to return back to your mother's house. Until you're willing to take controll of your actions and your responsibilities, you're going to always be subjected to the abuse.

You have the right to protection from this behavior and your child has the right to grow up in a terror-free zone. If you do not insure your child's safety, you run the risk of having child services involved. He needs to leave and you can make this happen with a court order. Please, please respect yourself enough to get some help. Verbal violence is trauma. You don't want to be in this situation if it should escalate to physical. Protect yourself and your child. You are the mom now.

being alcoholic is a serious condition.it can never be treated by just talking,or giving advice.it is an addiction,a disorder.he needs professional help.it is difficult to stop drinking for an alcoholic.itll take rehabilitations

maybe your mum needs to tell him that unless he goes to rehab or AA he will have to move out. it will start to affect her and your health too x

He and she are not your responsibility, your children are! Give yourself six months to get some sort of technical training if you don't have any skills and get a job and out of there. If you don't have access to birth control, then quit having sex!
