Input: I’m pregnant. My ex was abusive and I had to get a restraining order. He’s broken it multiple times. I’ve pressed charges. 

He still sends me  messages. Most are about wanting to be in our child’s life and I have a lot of guilt about keeping him away from our daughter. (Don’t get me wrong there are a lot of mean messages mixed in there too). I don’t trust him, he is violent and has a drug problem but I feel guilty because I will be keeping my daughter away from her father. Many people have said that there is no replacing her father and that they have a right to be in each other’s lives. 

He now says he’s given up on ever being apart of our lives and that it’s my fault our daughter won’t have a father. That I didn’t give him enough of a chance or that I can’t put the past behind me for the benefit of our daughter. 

So AITA for not giving him a chance to be in our daughters life? I know he’s an asshole but is it worse to keep my daughter totally in the dark about her father?
