Is this the way a relationship is suppose to be?

Yes, you have to leave him. He will only get worse.
You say your mother isn't talking to you.

Well, you need to find a way to contact her anyway. Tell her you are desperate for her help. That he has been hitting you, and you are worried it is getting worse. Tell her you need her protection.

My mother went through this when I was child.my father got worse every year. She lost teeth, got black eyes, couldn't see her fam or friends. She finally realized she would have to leave when he almost hit my baby brother.
My grandmother came when he was at work and we escaped.
My mother had a hard time cause she still loved him. But she got over it.
And now she is so happy we got away.
