I'm in in a bit of a dilemma and need some help please and I know you ladies (and gentlemen) can offer your wisdom.
I am 28 have 2 dd's (7/4) and a week today found out I'm pregnant with my third, I'm around 7 weeks, my partner of 6 years and the father of my 2nd dd (although he's been there since my 1st dd was 1 and her biological father has never been on the scene) has totally flipped out.
That day he smashed my bathroom door then packed his bag and went to his mothers, I didn't hear from him for 2 days and now all I'm getting is I have to have an abortion or he won't have anything to do with any of us, hes going to get a new gf asap, he's apparently going to move to China if I continue with the pregnancy and even told my little sister (who knows about the preganacy) that I forced him to have sex with me? Hmm
I've had one termination before which I was coerced into by my ex and his mother and Ive never got over it, I know I can't do it again and tbh I don't want to.
He's saying I've done it to trap him even though he knew i had had my implant taken out (due to a small cyst forming) and he refused to wear anything, although I didn't mind but if he was so against a baby I can't understand why. A few weeks ago we were talking about getting married and how he wanted to try for as many as it took to get a son!
Anyway I'm just terrified of what to do now, we moved to a new area not long ago i have no local friends i dont drive and worse still my mum passed away 2 years ago and the only family I have is my little sister who's only 22. I hate having to use her as emotional support as I feel I'm supposed to be the one who's meant to look after her now mums gone. I'd have to give up work and go on benefits and I'd probably have to move if he keeps true to his word as I couldn't afford this place on my own. I don't see these as reasons to terminate, it's just making me panic. I'm being short with my two girls because of it and i just feel awful. My eldest wrote me a letter at school this week which just said mummy please stop crying at night, it broke my heart.
I also feel like even if he does come round ill feel bitter towards him anyway for the crap he's said, it feels like a lose lose situation for me.
His mum knows too, I even sent her a picture of my door, but he's an only child and she will jump through every hoop he puts up but he's almost 30 for God's sake. I personally think her always letting him have his way is the reason he acts like this when he doesnt! She actually told me to think about what's best for the family as 'people move on quickly' Angry How can she not care her precious son wants to abandon her own grandaughter(s) because he didn't to take care of his own fertility?!?!
My head is just spinning and luckily I've had work to concentrate on but sitting here in the evenings all alone just gives me too much time with my own thoughts, has anyone else been in my situation. What happened? What can I do about work and my home and just help in general? Does anyone have 3 all alone how do you cope?
Sorry this is so long, can anyone help me?
Thanks everyone x

You are going to be fine.
This man is obviously a loser and no good. You are well rid of him.

You can do this. 3 will be hard at first but you will get into the swing of it.

Cannot believe he has had the audacity to give you an ultimatum - abortion or leave - after his behaviour! Unbelievable. You and your children deserve far better than how he is treating you. His behaviour isn't normal. With behaviour / actions like that I'd pack his bloody bags for him!

Hauskat · 25/05/2018 23:12

Honestly he sounds toxic, manipulative and violent. You sound so capable - I know you have so so much on your plate but wouldn’t it be easier to deal with without that man’s energy? Please don’t let him back into your life. No one should treat you like this, his behaviour is bizarre and sounds like it was impossible to predict, living with him will be like living on a knife edge.

BurpeesAreTheWorkOfTheDevil · 25/05/2018 23:16

My ex told me it as him or the baby I was 6 weeks pregnant with, I chose the baby.
She's 9 and the most amazing little girl, I have no regrets

WhingyNinja · 25/05/2018 23:32

Ugh, he sounds like a total shitbag.

Do what is best for you, if you want to keep your baby that's what you'll do, he can either choose to support you or he can fuck off to his mother and leave you alone.

He cannot force you into an abortion despite his pathetic attempts (moving to China, really?)

All the best, you've raised a child alone before and you'll do a fine job with no3. Thanks

You need to get rid of him whatever happens. It takes two to tango and he's shifting the blame on you which is immature and pathetic.

He needs to grow up.

CosmicCanary · 27/05/2018 11:40

This is not a man you want in your life ot around your children.

Please do not be blackmailed in to making a decision.
He does not care for you.
You and yoyr children deserve so much better.

CosmicCanary · 27/05/2018 11:42

By the way I have 4 DC as a single parent and I manage just fine. It is possible but it has to be your choice.

messofajess · 27/05/2018 11:46

Even if you decided a termination was right for you there is no way you can take him back now. What is the next thing he flips out at if you do? You getting ill or something?

Youre going to be ok, you just need to start figuring out logistics.

And his mother sounds like a grade a bitch
