I have a 4 (almost 5) year old daughter. I had her when I was 19, married her father. 3 months after she was born I moved home to California and we divorced (I was just to young). He has never asked for custody or visitation.

I turned 24 this past March, and I have just found out I am 8 weeks pregnant. The father of this baby is a guy I have mutual friends with and have been hooking up with but not dating or in a relationship. I told him I am pregnant. long story short. He wants me to get an abortion. Once I finally told him I just cannot get myself to do that he got mad. He doesn't want to talk, he says I don't care about him and that I inconsiderate.

I told him I would raise the baby with or without him (secretly hoping he'll come around) he replied saying My best option is to get rid of it but if I have a kid he will do everything he can to give it the best life possible.

Second issue I'm anxious over is that after multiple failed career paths, I am finally back in school for Fire Science and work Part-Time 5 Days a week. My family has been hugely supportive and watches my daughter every day I work.- I am so so so afraid to tell my parents, not because they will be mad. But because I don't want to see the disappointment in their faces (even though they would try to hide it). I don't want to cause my mom any additional stress in thinking she will be needing to look after another baby for me. And I know that my mom will worry about my future and how I am going to succeed. and that will hurt me to cause them that grief.

Any Thoughts, Opinon, or Advice would really help.

Thanks.
