Hi
Any advice anyone can give me would be much appreciated. Im 26 yrs old with a 6 yr old daughter from a previous relationship where her father walked out and left us- shes never had anything to do with him. I've been with my partner nearly 2 years and the relationship is good other than his family- they dont approve of me and try to make things difficult at every opportunity. I recently found out I'm pregnant. This is unplanned and a shock. I told my partner last Friday and his initial re-action was all about his family who keep threatening to disown him if he doesnt leave me as well as violence towards me. He wants me to have an abortion which is something I know I couldn't go through- it's a life to me and it would kill me.
Things are so awkward now with me not wanting to be pregnant with his baby but not being able to go through with a temination. In my opinion the baby is my responsibility now and as an adult i have to face my responsibility. I've raised a child alone before and allthough this isnt what i wanted I could do it again. I just feel so alone and angry. Angry with myself for being stupid enough not to see this reaction coming even though everyone has been warning since his mum started with her aggressive behaviour and he at the age of 31 didn't put her in her place, angry with him for not being more supportive and for want of a better phrase not growing a pair and standing up for us and angry with his family because of their behaviour!
He keeps telling me how much he loves me and doesnt want to loose me but I don't know what to think anymore and how much of what he says I can actually trust.
So confused, please help if you can!
