Why did my partner become so angry and feel the need to hurt me?

Anonymous

I’ve been with my partner for 5 years. We have a daughter together. He was very loving at first. Really calm and never got angry. He would never disrespect or hurt me any way. Fast forward to now, he gets angry very easily and will slap me or pull my hair if he gets overly angry. And it’s always about little things. It just seems like he can no longer control his temper. Why does he think hurting me is okay? Why does he feel the need to hurt me. He will even tell me that I could die right now and he would be okay with it. Why does he become an absolute monster when he’s angry.

(I know I need to get out of this relationship. If I was financially stable I would’ve done so a while ago. I unfortunately don’t have a support system so I have to try and find a way to get me and my daughter out of this)
