Dear MIMsters: I Need Help to Get Myself and Kids Out of This Horrible Mess

I really need help out of this horrible mess. I am a born again Christian but I moved in with my partner 7 years ago before I became born again. As I write this, I am in an abusive relationship. My partner hit me so hard on my head with his fist that I developed a headache.

I have two boys. My first born is in eighth grade and the second one is in Kindergarten. The abuse has been going on for a while but now it’s getting out of hand. He is a drunkard and has been abusing me verbally for a long time but now it’s gone physical.

I had actually moved out on the 1st of June but I came back two weeks later because of my son in class 8. He’s in a boarding school and will be seating for his main exam this November. He’s a performer but very sensitive and chaos at home will affect him badly. And I don’t want him to be affected as he sits for his exams for I would never forgive myself for that.

My other issue is that I am jobless now. Though I have a business but it’s not doing well and I don’t have enough capital to stock it. As much as I would like to move out I don’t have the financial capacity to support my boys.

My partner on the other hand has a online job which actually I got for him as he was in a rehab in September last year. When we met he had no job and I was the one who catered for the two of us and my son then. Later, he got a job and left the country but since he came back, he has been drinking and behaving like a mad person. I really need advice on how to get out of this mess.
