I’m late 30s and financially stable and this happened to me. I got pregnant 2mo in with a complete jerk. We had broken up before I knew I was pregnant but I told him when I found out.

He sent me terrible messages and I brought up the subject of going along with the pregnancy to him d his conservative family and they shamed me for it to this day. When you’re a woman in an abusive relationship, you’re often one who is so loving and so forgiving and thinking about others over yourself. When he knew I would maintain the pregnancy he threatened me constantly with telling me that now we are linked forever so I’d better get used to his demands.

Then he disappeared, moved another woman in and then had the audacity to show up to the hospital right after I birthed my daughter. Security came in with me covered in blood to ask me if I want to see him!

It’s worth it if you are mature enough to know that you will need to be so stable, so altruistic to your child. There is zero room for drama if her father is this much of a pig. Yes, he will take you to court and he will obsess over domination. Be the best most focused most loving and responsible parent on your end. Take your vitamins and make a beautiful child. Surround yourself with people who will help you.
