Help I dont know what to do. I'm having my baby in 7 days c section, I havent talked to the father in 5 months because he was physically and emotionally abusive. Now I am torn as to let him know about the birth. Should I let him know myself or should I leave it up to the government agencies to inform him? I want to do the right thing by our daughter but I'm also scared to open up communication with him because I still love him but I know he will never change and he has a way of manipulating/controlling me and I always seem to fall back under his spell. Help me please I dont know what to do I'm feeling so anxious and sad!
