Would you allow your child’s father to stay in their life if they keep walking in and out? My daughters father wanted be to abort our daughter when I was pregnant. He said he didn’t choose that life and he didn’t want it. During the pregnancy he was never there and found no need for me to go to the doctors. He was there during the delivery, but it was to make sure his name was not put on our daughters birth certificate. After I gave birth to my daughter September of 2017, he left us and did not come back until February of 2018. During that time I never heard from him and every time I went to his house no one would open the door for me and they would tell me he wasn’t there when his car was in plain sight. After he came back I realized that he started drinking a lot more, and he was aggressive. Nothing has changed the only thing that makes me upset is I find myself putting in all of the effort and he just sits there on fortnite all day. I am tired of being called a worthless bitch all of the time. I find it degrading that he orders me around like a house maid and we don’t even live with him. He has not been working for 3 months now and all he does is play video games from when he wakes up which is like 3pm until 5am the next day. Whenever I try to talk to him he tells me he doesn’t need my input and I should just shut up and go home already. The cycle keeps repeating. Recently we got into an argument and he hit me and beat me in front of our daughter. She was freaking out screaming and crying, but that didn’t stop him. He even said that he would kill anyone and it doesn’t matter who they are to him. I am thinking about leaving and no allowing him to be in my daughters life. Both of our families feel it’s best for me and my daughter to start a new life without him since all he has done is hurt not only me, but my daughter. He doesn’t even provide or support us either, but he always has time to hang out and go to the bar with his friends. He hangs out with his friends everyday whether that be in person or playing fortnite. She is one now and he has not even spent an entire day with her nor has he carried her for more than 5 minutes. I don’t even know when was the last time we kissed or held hands either. I am so glad that he decided he did not want to be part of the birth certificate or this journey because she deserves such a better father. Should I just end this once and for all?
