From someone who is a child abuse survivor, let me tell you this:
Unless the cycle is stopped with you (ie you ain't gonna take this isht), history will only repeat itself!

Press charges and DO NOT BACK DOWN FOR ANYTHING! If you do, it will show him that he can get away with it. And he will continue to do it. If he ain't abusing you, it will be his girlfriend or someone else. You have to nip it in the bud and if it takes his butt going to jail, then that's what it has to be!

Make a pact that you are mad as hell, not scared to follow through (ie scared silent) and you will not take it from ANYONE anymore.

Take it from someone who has been there. Hugs to you and good luck
