For some background, my baby’s sperm donor is 34 with 5 other kids (3 baby mommas). I’m 22 and the 4th baby momma and my son is his 6th kid. He’s never been a present father in his other kids lives. He was a very toxic and controlling person in the relationship. He started telling me who I could and couldn’t talk to early into the relationship. When he got angry lots of harsh things would be said and if he was mad enough objects would be thrown or hit. I had finally built up the courage to leave before I found out I was pregnant and got back together to try and work it out for the baby. But about 4 months into the pregnancy nothing had changed and it got worse, he even told me he didn’t want his son around a woman who wanted all that freedom… I got away again by turning him into the sheriffs department, as he had an active warrant for his arrest for not paying child support for this other kids. He’s been writing me from jail wanting to fix things and prove he can be a good father. But I just don’t believe it, in 16 years he was never a father to any of his other kids. What makes mine different. Am I in the wrong for not even wanting him in my son’s life? I personally believe inconsistency and his behavior/attitude towards me is worse than him just not being an active part of our lives.

Let me start by saying im glad you got away. I was in a similar situation with both of my baby daddies and im glad I left. I was with the first one for 8 years and the 2nd for 6 years and let me tell you....if he's been showing you his inconsistencies and who he is for 16 years jail is not going to change him thats my opinion tho. Both of my baby daddies went to jail at some point in our relationships and always promised to be a better man and dad when they got home, they always say the right things when they are in there but if they dont have the right intentions or discipline when they come home they won't change. Best alive i could give you is do whats best for you and your child, hehadhis chance already. Good luck to you
