You say you love him...do you love yourself and your family more? Well, you definitely should! There are lots of women and girls living in domestic violence hostels and shelters all over the world with broken bones, stab wounds and lots more who all thought they 'loved' their abuser and most take several years of beatings before they finally leave. Of course, they are the lucky people in a fit state to walk out of the door and dead victims of abuse don't get that choice. You are young and this maybe your first proper relationship. The reality is that your boyfriend needs specialist help from a counsellor who treats perpetrators of domestic violence. He has some very misguided beliefs about his right to assert power and control over partners which need correcting before it goes too far.By taking him back after abuse, you are saying to him that it is ok to hurt and control you. He may go on to hurt and abuse other women too. You should report the incident to the police and allow them to take action against him by cooperating as a witness.

This is very abusive behaviour, tell the police, your parents, his parents anyone, just do not let it happen again EVER!
You live in America for gods sake "the land of the free" you live in a democratic country with a good police force, laws and a constitution. There is no excuse for someone ever getting away with this kind of behaviour!
You know his behaviour is wrong, do something about it RIGHT NOW!
