I will be 13 weeks when I have the abortion. I really, really wanted this baby, and still do, but I don't have any other choice. I have one daughter, who is 3, from a previous relationship, and am a single mom. One month ago my daughter came to me and told me that my now ex-fiance, and father of this baby, sexually abused her. The story is very graphic, so I won't elaborate, but I packed up my things, left him, and went to my parents house. My ex-fiance is telling his lawyer that I am doing this to him because he didn't want me to have the baby, and leaving and making up this story of what my daughter said was my way of having the baby and not involving him. NOT TRUE, obviously, but this alone could hurt the case. He has 3 other children too, and if they have ANY reason to believe this didn't happen, he will get his children back. There is some speculation about whether or not his daughter was sexually abused too, and it would really hurt me if his kids went back to him. And me being pregnant is a motive to leave, especially if I keep the baby. And from everything I've been told, there's a very good chance he won't face criminal charges, and will have full rights to his children in a matter of weeks/months. That means he'd have rights to this baby, and that means my daughter would have to see and hear about the person that hurt her so much. I know he'd try and get visitation or custody, just to get back at me for reporting the sexual abuse. I can't bear that thought. Not to mention, my parents will completely disown me if I have this baby, and I'll have no place to live, and my daughter will lose contact with her grandparents. Basically, I have every possible factor stacked against me in having this baby. It breaks my heart in two, but, what else can I do?? I don't feel like it's worth having the baby if it hurts my daughter, who is already born. As I said, the abortion is scheduled for tomorrow, so I need advice quick. I feel so lost and upset.
