Domestic abuse mums?

Question

I'm just wondering if anyone has been in this situation. I'm deverstated. My partner has been physically and emotionally abusing me for over a year now, I've finally had him arrested tonight, they have him in custody and I've just got home from the station. However I've also just found out this morning I'm pregnant, with his child.

Has anyone been in this situation and kept the baby and what was the pros and cons of that etc.

I've got police and my friends telling me that this isn't a good idea and he'll have a hold over me forever now. But I've got a baby inside of me and I'm suppose to abort it because I'm a victim of abuse? I don't know what to think and I'm hurting so badly..

Answer

Don't let anyone tell you to destroy your baby over a man.
If you can see yourself with a baby in your arms and it brings a smile to your face and a flutter in your tummy then don't give it up.
Think of it as a parting gift. You have been given a gift to keep you strong and you can survive without him.
My husband had an affair and he beat me broke my ribs cracked my skull etc all because I found out he was having an affair. I slapped him to begin with but we had never had a history of physical violence though there was emotional abuse.
I was pregnant. Sadly lost it but in the little time I was pregnant I realised I had to stay strong and away from him.
I know I don't know you and my story is a little different but I believe you can do this, your stronger than you may realise. Xx

Answer

Depending upon where you live, he may still retain parental rights despite his violent history. If you keep the baby, you might have to forego child support to ensure your safety and not let him know about the baby. Or you may fall in love with another man in the meantime who will be a father to your baby. Good luck! Don't let anyone bully you into whatever decisions you make next.

Answer

Of you can handle being a single mom.which after dealing with what you've been dealing with I'm sure you can ..keep it.. that's your baby too. With his violent history, you can either not have him on the birth certificate which will give him no parental rights or, if he does get put on the birth certificate,  you could probably easily have parental rights revoked. This way you don't have to deal with him but you still have your precious baby.
