I dont' know if I want the father to be the part of my baby's life?

Hi,

I'm having some trouble. This is my first pregnancy and my boyfriend and I just broke up. He hasn't had a job since I've known or have been dating him. He is an alcoholic, lives off unemployment, doesn't look for a job or anything. Plus, he already has a daughter that he can't even support right now. We got into a really bad argument on the phone last night and he said he wanted me to have an abortion even though I'm not going to. He said he didn't even want the baby, but if I kept it, he would want to be a part of his/her life. I want to try to get full custody of my child when that day comes, but I wonder if they would allow it. I've seen how he doesn't even watch over his own daughter, and well, and I hate to see what he would do with our child. I'm a very responsible person, who as my stuff together, has a fantastic job, new car, new house, good financial stability. I'm just wondering if the courts would rule in favor for me if I needed to go court? Or is there another plan that I should take in this situation? Please help.....

starting with a lie is not an answer

Sometimes you are left with no other option. I was in a violent, relationship and a lie is what saved my life and my daughters.

So honesty is not ALWAYS the best policy

I have to agree with leedee, rather than folks posting negative answers about you, they should have just answered your quetion, people do crazy things for love...even though you put it out there, that is none of their concern.........

First, may I call your attention to the guidelines for using the comments feature found here:

http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/feedbac...ure-24951.html

Following is the quote I was referring to. I wasn't saying the OP was lying but that an answer was advocating lying.

She chose this fellow for whatever reasons, and now they have a child. The rest is up to the courts to decide, no matter how together she paints herself, or how big of a loser she paints him. She has many options here, without resorting to lying. Its a little late to cry foul, after you have made a bad choice.

Huh? What is that supposed to mean? What you should have done is apologize for your inappropriate negative comment on my post.

I just dont think it is right for you to call anyone you dont know a lier, you dont know her, her lifestyle only the fact that she got pregnant with a person who is not into raising is own children. If you had a question that needed answering, you wouldn't want anyone saying, well starting with a lie dosn't help.....
