Hi Carah, I'm also from Massachusetts, you don't need to be in a abusive relationship, you need to leave your man and raise your baby. i was beaten by my baby father when i was pregnant i carried her full term but she only lived for 3 hours due to my beating. you need to protect your baby and your self. do you have family? people here have given you many resources. take care of yourself and get some help! good luck to you, help is out there
