You know if this guy is treating you badly then get a restraining order on him. And I don't think that you have to give your child up for adoption. What if the child doesn't get that family that you wanted for it.
Just stay with your parents and start new with both your children. Its gunna be tough but if you have a 3 year old and have gone through mental abuse then I know that raising this new baby is gunna be fine for you. Think really well about what you want to do and work towards having a career right now and again with both of your children.
Unfotunately with adoption you may have a fight on your hands if he wants the child - and if he's abusive he may try to get the child from you just to spite you. I can't tell you what to do. Adoption is hard - probably the hardest choice on the mother.
There are bennefits like you know you gave your child the best possible life you could, despite your emptions towards the child. It doens't mean you don't love your child. It means that you did a very difficult thing so you could give your child a life you didn't think you could give.
Find where your x stands on the issue and if he's willing to even give it up. Like I said, if he's abusive he may just try to get the baby and use it against you.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
