I did it alone  with my son dad walked out 3 months before wedding and 2 weeks after i found out i was pregnant. Mind you he left with some other chick. I was scary but him not in me and my son's life was the best thing that could ever happen to me and my son. I know am married to my soul mate and he treats my son like one of his own before we had together and one our 2nd now. Any idiot can make a baby but it takes a real man to help raise them. Find yourself a real man.

I was in a abusive relationship for 10 1/2 years.  Get out it won't get better.  It'll only get worst.

Don't waste time trying to make it work.  He ain't worth it.  

My kids saw what happened to me and they remember to this day.

Leave him now before it really gets bad.  I'll tell you something.   First it's name calling,  them yelling.   Then he'll start putting his hands on you,  smacking you.

I've been thrown down stairs, have had my head smashed into walls, floors and been choked.

You don't need to be told to leave,  you can see where this is going.

I'm not with my baby's dad. Never have been. We don't even talk. It *****, and it's super hard with the thoughts of your child deserving to have a good father, etc.. But as I'm getting closer to my due date I'm quickly realizing that if he doesn't WANT to be a dad then I will never be able to MAKE him be one. I would rather explain to my son the truth of why his dad isn't around period over having to try to find a way to explain why his dad bails out on him and only shows up every now and then. You have to focus on the few positives you can find in the situation.. Even when they may not seem so positive. If you focus too much on the fact that things aren't as you feel they should be, you'll drive yourself insane! Just remember everything happens for a reason, and have faith. Lots of faith..

Would you rather raise a child in an environment to where the baby has to watch you getting treated that way? If it's a girl, she's going to grow up thinking that it is okay for her boyfriend to be mean to her,  and if It's a boy, he is going to grow up thinking it's acceptable for a man to treat his woman that way. Don't put yourself through this, unless you are prepared to deal with your child being just lunge him one day. You don't deserve it.

And if you do it alone thats more time with your babyy :) and yeah I mean if he shows you he can be a good dad by all means let him. But if he can't then dont let him be in your babys life. And just remember,  even if he does turn out to be a good dad doesnt mean he will be a good boyfriend or husband to you.

Its understandable that you want your baby to have his father n his life but u dont have to b n a relationship with the father in order to have him in your babies life , well in some cases kus some men just will forget about the baby if they seperate from the mom....but if u aint getting treated right then its best u do wat u have to do and leave him....if he's treating you like crap while u are pregnant it will get worse when u have the baby and in the future.....u dont need someone that stresses u out as your significant other u kno wat I mean? U need to think about u and your baby and wats best kus I can tell u right now that u being with your bf and him treating u the way he does aint best for u and the baby so u should think twice about still being with him

Sweetie you dont need to put up with that pregnant or not. I promise, I know. I put up with it till I was about 18 weeks and it got so bad I walked. . .im 37 weeks and its been amazing not having to deal with him. Because if he treats you like that while youre pregnant with HIS baby imagine how he'll treat you in front of yalls baby. :/ its not gonna be good. And you deserve so much better than that mama

Your baby will learn habits for life based on what it learns from its parents. Just keep that in mind.
