I am a single ftm. I had already broken up with the dad about 2 weeks before I found out the news. He was cheating on me with his ex. I've tried to be nice and keep him in the picture, but he doesn't seem to get the point that I'm not getting back with him. I've made the decision to not involve him or put him on the birth certificate. The only ones supporting me on the decision are my parents. Everyone else has been super judgemental, including my brother and sister-in-law. It's sad that people think a single mom can't do a great job raising a baby without a cheating lying man in her life.

I was raised in a household where my dad was constantly cheating on my mom. My mom would pack my brothers and i in the car and drive around looking for my dad at all his girlfriends houses. When he came home, they would fight, and i would cry.

I honestly believe that it's better to raise a child with one parent than to expose a child to a life like that. I don't want my baby girl to grow up thinking it's okay for men to treat her that way.

Am I so bad to leave him out of the picture completely?
