Me and my daughter, Vivien Lee. She will 5 months the 27th. I am extremely proud to say I got out of an abusive relations with her sperm donor (biological father), before I even knew i was pregnant! Won't get to far into details with it, but I will say that I finally had enough when he reached over me and burnt my cats ear with a lighter that I had rescued from 2 abusive homes before me.. His exact words to me when he saw I was upset and crying, 'that's what you get for giving the cat more attention than me!' I think I did the right thing by leaving, others don't and think I should give part custody of my daughter. I haven't had any help from him and don't want any. He's not on the birth certificate or anything.
I think, if there is a good man who stepped up to the plate, she will be hurt but it'll be easier for her since theres someone who can fill that void. I grew up with my deadbeat dad and i wish my mom had just got up and left vs staying. Things would have been alot better. In the long run she will thank you as well. Plus how would you have been able to leave her alone with him at any point knowing hes abusive. You're chances of losing her would be greater. You did the right thing and telling her young would be best but do make sure she can understand and that the new guy is there to stay ya know
Thank you! I feel bad sometimes for my daughter, I mean I have a wonderful man in my life that stepped up to the plate but I feel bad for my daughter cause I plan on telling her at a young age so she knows and doesn't get mad when she's older. I just know it will hurt her, just like any kid. But thats how my bestfriend told her son hes in 1st grade now and fully understands and took it really well, i just hope my daughter does the same.
That is the BEST thing you could have done for your daughter and yourself. I know it probobly wasnt easy but i am PROUD of you mama! NO ONE DESERVES that.
