I did a project with Children's Services and for 6 months I did nothing but read heartbreaking story after story that started out the exact same way you explain your own. My first suprise is that because the police took him on a domestic violence case they allowed him visitation without supervision. Also, keep in mind YOU risk having your child taken away from the both of you.

If he hits you he will hit and hurt that child and I've seen it time and time again. The absolute worst story I read a file on is the woman went to the store and left the child with his abusive father. The child was maybe 3 years old and the guy went into a rage because the kid was messing with the knobs on the stereo and he ended up beating that poor child to death - literally. When the police came to take him in - the remark in the police report stated, "He seemed more concerned with the condition of his stereo while in the car than with the well being of his son."

Is this something you are willing to risk coming home to?

You and he are very young and still have a lot of growing up to do. But while you are still growing up you have a child counting on you not to do anything stupid. So...stay with your parents, get that job and stabilize yourself. He needs to prove to you that he can be the man you and your baby deserve - make him work for that by staying with your folks.
