Published on January 24, 2017 I left my drug addict abusive ex. Let's call him 'Jo' didn't know I was pregnant at the time. I came back. The abuse got worse, I fled with my toddler son to a shelter for women domestic who were victims of domestic violence. When the baby was born, I stupidly gave my ex another chance. The abuse continued. When I told him i was leaving, he had me arrested and I was put in jail
