I (24F) just found out that I’m about 4 weeks pregnant, and at the same time my husband (23M, still my husband legally) abruptly left. He originally moved out after an altercation. Earlier this week, when I told him I was pregnant (the same day I found out I was), he said he wanted to come back. But once I mentioned that abortion was one of the options I was considering, he accused me of wanting to “kill his child” and completely cut off contact with me. To be clear, I’m planning to continue the pregnancy and I believe he knows this that I want to keep the baby because of told his family and his friends about this. But now I’m scared and overwhelmed dealing with all of this stress alone while pregnant. He wants nothing to do with me or the baby right now, and I’m trying to stay strong for myself and for this child. I’m looking for advice on how to move forward emotionally, mentally, and practically. As far as I know, he hasn’t filed for divorce yet, so I’m also wondering how this situation would look legally. Since we’re still married, do I have any rights now to hold him responsible for the child later, whether through child support, co-parenting, or anything else? I’d also really appreciate hearing from people who have raised a baby on their own. What should I realistically expect financially, emotionally and day to day? Any advice or personal experiences would mean a lot. Thank you.
