Domestic violence
I had a c section and my bf was physically abusive just two days after we got home. I had to call the police on him yesterday because he was abusing me badly I feel so guilty and I’m scared to do this alone. My baby is only 18 days old and now I feel like I ruined our family and her chance at having a dad. Has anyone else gone through this?

You haven’t ruined anything. He has, end of story.
You’re doing what’s right for you and your baby. Have you got friends and family nearby for support?
Girl go to therapy, get over the guilt and live a way happier life without him, I’m sure he did not feel guilty when he put his hands on you.
Not been through it but HE ruined it when he laid a hand on you. Alternatively, you can choose to see this as a huge blessing in disguise and the start of yours and your daughters true happiness. Who knows what life would have been like if her dad was angry enough to be violent at all, let alone the happiest time of your lives? Fuck him, start a new story one where love is flowing unconditionally. Lastly, I’m so sorry you’re going through this, no one deserves this but as a 2x csection mum, I cannot even begin to imagine doing it solo, you’re a strong woman and you will be incredible. That being said, reach out for support, be it financially, emotionally or a hand with your baby. Don’t keep things in because you’re expected to be strong. You shouldn’t suffer alone.
I’m so sorry you’re going through that, I hope you have a good support system 🩷 but he ruined it, absolutely not you. You’re putting your child and yourself first and being a great parent for it.
Do not look back no matter what he says.
