Hi inthebliss,

It breaks my heart to read your story. Both because no one should have to go thru what you’re going through and because it sounds all too familiar for so many of us who have posted on here.

Here’s one thing I know for sure– this is no longer just about you, this is about you AND your unborn child.

As much as I hope that you stay away from this monster for the betterment of your own life, I especially hope you do so for the sake of your child. You need to be the best mom and person you can be for this baby and there’s no question you can’t be while in any kind of relationship with this man.

Every time you consider going back, think of your baby. Ask yourself, “Is this really the kind of person I want my baby to be raised by? Is this really the example I want to set for this completely innocent little life?”

You have a lot of control right now to move forward and do the right thing for both you and for your baby.

I say this with all the love that a stranger could have– please stay away and do what’s best for you and that precious little one.

Sending you positive thoughts and strong arms.
