I gave birth last year to my boyfriend’s child, and it wasn’t easy during the pregnancy. He beat me twice during that time, then apologized, cried, and begged. I forgave him because I was already heavily pregnant, and I didn’t want any additional stress. Now, my baby is over a year old. Since then, he has hit me three more times this year. He always apologizes and begs, but I stayed because the thought of being a single mother scared me. I started losing interest in him during my pregnancy, but I tried to stay positive for my mental well-being.
At home, I barely talk to him to avoid issues. Recently, I met someone who knows I have a child. We talk a lot, and I’m starting to like him. However, the thought of becoming a single mother keeps me from moving forward. My baby’s father, on the other hand, keeps swearing he’ll change. I’m confused and don’t know what to do. Please, be kind with your advice because I’m struggling mentally. I’m only 24 years old.
