Ok so I do not know where in Texas you are but there are many places to help abused women - which is what you are - in the State of Texas.  I have found online a group in Texas called the Texas Advocacy Project 800-374-HOPE.  They provide help and free legal services.  You need to get you and your baby out of there now. I can tell that you are feeling trapped and are starting to think what is happeneing is ok but it is not.  I think you think that becuase you are worried about what will happen to you and the baby if you speak or act out.  That is because you are a Mother who wants to protect her child and that shows how truly string a person you are putting your child first.  But things will never get better thee, only worse.  You should be proud of yourself for taking this first step.  Now go and call this number when you have some privacy and they can help you take the second step to freedom from this environment with these people.  Writing this question was the frist step.  Good luck to you.
