  • Question
    How do you deal with a child who wants to live with the other parent, and throws a tantrum?
    Community Answer
    Don't force the child to be with you if she/he doesn't want to. Talk to him/her about why he/she doesn't want to be with you, and try to make a plan on how to fix it. You might want to get a counselor involved (if you can afford it).

    You need to call the police and report the physical abuse. Let them know you have a child who is in danger and that you need to be removed from the home. They will detain your boyfriend and help you move out. If you are unable to get to a phone, then wait until he leaves or falls asleep and run to a neighbor's house. They will be able to call the police for you.
  • Question
    What should I do if I am pregnant, already have one or more kids, and the father has left?
    Community Answer
    Reach out for support. It's okay to ask for help. Also make sure the father pays child support.
