I haven't read through all the replies, but I wanted to add my thoughts and words of encouragent. This might get long.

It's really selfless and noble for you to want to stick it out for your daughter's sake. But being a Dad is so much more than just owning the sperm that made your daughter. It's his job to show her the type of man to love. You don't want her growing up seeing how he treats you because one day, she'll find someone like that because it's all she knows. But you can show her what an independent, hard-working woman looks like. Show her that a man has to earn his place in your family.

Next, please don't ever be ashamed of who you are. There's nothing wrong with being a young mother. I'm 27 and this is my first baby. I am married and have a good job. When I announced my pregnancy at work, I was told by several people that I just threw away my career. I spent my entire pregnancy embarrassed by my big belly just because I listened to someone tell me I should. That's my biggest regret about my pregnancy is that I sometimes felt ashamed of him. I guess my point is, there are people who are going to try to put you down and tell you that you've made a mistake, but they are wrong! You have a beautiful and wonderful little person, and she deserves your best.

I'm really proud of you. You are a kind and caring person, and I'm happy you are a part of our little family here in A'14.

Just checking in. I've thought about you several times over the past few days and I hope all is going well. I have some experience with this at home as well as a previous relationship. From what I've seen, abusive men are often manipulative and will chip away at your confidence and IMHO that's often a reason someone stays in the relationship longer than they should. I hope that you believe all the pps and that you ARE strong and a great mom! You've got support here!
