26 weeks pregnant with serious relationship problems.. any advice?

I've posted this before.. I was just looking for more answers..





Ok i'm 18, almost 19 and I was dating this guy for awhile and then I found out I was pregnant. We both love the idea of having a baby even though were not married and now not even together. I found out he was cheating on me with his ex so we broke up for awhile and then ended up getting back together then to find out he started dating somebody else while I was still with him. I absolutely hate him right now but i'm so scared of raising this baby alone and I don't want him to take me to court and be able to get the baby every other weekend. I recently found out that two of his ex girlfriends said that he used to hit them so I really don't trust him around our kid alone now. He does have three DUI's and I don't think his house would pass DHS inspection. I don't know what to do about any of this.. Does anybody else have advice?26 weeks pregnant with serious relationship problems.. any advice?
Take care of yourself first.


Never allow a man to disrespect you. You gave him a second chance and he did it again. Remove yourself from all unhealthy situations - if you stay in a relationship were you guy cheats constantly you will always worry about what he is doing every time he leaves your sight.


Don't let your fears keep you in a situation that you hate.





As far as custody - why do you think he will take you to court? If he is unfit and irresponsible (physically abusive %26amp; DUI's) then he will probably only have supervised visits until he improves.





Take care of yourself and do whatever you can to protect yourself and your baby.26 weeks pregnant with serious relationship problems.. any advice?
if you're not married to him...you have full custody till he's proven to be the father. you can file for full custody, i would.





my advice on your relationship...


LEAVE his sorry bum! you don't need a boy like that. note that i said boy....you can make it! my mom had to travel to USA all alone. single mom of two in a different country but she still made it.





good luck
I would file for full custody once the baby is born and express your feelings to the judge about his history of drinking and violence.
Take him to court for custody. Point out the DUIs and the state of his home. From what I've heard, he can't take the baby for overnights until he's two anyway.. You need to find some legal advice about your situation.
I agree with Ashley. All you have to do it tell the judge how you really feel about it. After all, you are the mother looking out for your babies best interest. Most of all, do not get back together with this guy, you obviously cant trust him. Maybe he will settle for supervised visits...
To be honest, I don't have any advice. The trend he is reflecting though makes me doubt that he will be a consistent part of your child's life. I am pretty sure you would win full custody, depending on your background, support network, and ability to care for your child. I honestly don't think he sounds like a man who would put up much of a fight for his kid and would probably be too busy trying to ';date'; people. All I can say is that it will work itself out on it's own and do your best to keep your child away from him if it is a safety issue that concerns you.
