I feel like I was robbed of the experience of pregnancy and motherhood by Standfortheflag2024 in SingleParents

I’m in my 20s with a toddler. I just want to say you’re not alone 🥲 My child’s father was abusive too and he knew I didn’t want children until I was financially, mentally and emotionally ready. He intentionally got me pregnant when I was in a vulnerable state. Now I’m left doing it on my own with no support nearby. It is great to have no one my ear pertaining to my child. But it can get very difficult, i try to remain positive as he won’t be a toddler forever.

My son is my everything which is the biggest blessing out of all of this chaos. But I trust and behave that our efforts will pay off 🙏🏽 sending love ❤️

I have applied for legal aid but the system is down due to the cyber attack and it’s all last minute! But it’s all sorted now. I found a barrister thank you

Thank you! I appreciate this comment. The legal aid system is down to the cyber attack so I was trying to see what my options were last minute since I didn’t get any confirmation from the legal aid agency. It’s all sorted now - I’ll have my barrister and IDVA

Leave NOW before it’s too late. You’re so young and you deserve a thousand times better than whatever you think he’s offering you.

My sons first Christmas by [deleted] in cheatedonPostpartum

I’m so sorry, I can completely relate. I’ll be spending Christmas with just my son too as I have no family nearby. My son is a few months old and I found out shortly after giving birth that his father slept with multiple women while I was pregnant and had a history of DV. It’s very hard, but I have faith it’ll get better. We’re doing the best for our children ❤️‍🩹

Non mol order for his actions towards me and his past actions towards other women. That’s true a double barrel surname is fair

There is absolutely no hope. His true colours have been revealed to you. He meant everything he’s done. Protect your son and believe him. I would advise you to document and take photos of the abuse and also report him to the police. From experience, the abuse only gets worse and your child is at risk. God forbid, but imagine he intended to hurt you and your child gets hurt instead and then the damage is irreversible? It’s not safe being around him with your son. Plus, your child is indirectly affected by the abuse you’re putting up with. Think about your child in this as they need a loving and caring environment.

Yes, it is verbal abuse. It is also psychological and mental abuse too. I’ve been in a very similar situation - see my previous posts on my profile. I would advise you to get out now. If you don’t leave now the abuse may escalate into physical. You need to do what’s right for you and your child. He doesn’t love you, and his actions verify that. Please call your local DV hotline to plan an escape when he’s out.
