I feel terrible

I'm not sure if I did the right thing or not when I was 6 months pregnant with my first child Mason. My boyfriend had a bad temper issue and he beat me he put me at risk loosening my child. And I really wanted Mason to meet his real dad. But I don't know if I should wait till he is older? Can anybody help?

Any man can be a dad it takes a real man to be a father

U know if ur bf now thinks of Manson as his own i would let him believe that. My mom had my two sisters with my dad now and tgey dont even know we are technically "step-sisters". My mom changed my last name to be like theres so if my mom never told me i would of never known and i would be just as happy. Im glad my sisters dont know that we dont have the same biological father. I think Manson would be much happier if he never knew and just grew up to be a son of ur bf. Its a huge step for him to call him dad but its a really good step! Forget about the other guy hes not worth ur time to think about. Look at ur family right now and just think thats all u need to be happy. If thats all u need then trust me Manson will feel the same way :)

Ok thanks cause I don't want mason to get hurt or anything and I found a better man and mason called him dad today and it made me think of that so I hope mason kinda does consider my new boyfriend as his real dad.

Ive never known my real father. My mom said he was a bad man and the police had the take her out of there bcuz he was beating her. And as a child in that situation i am very proud to say that i never ever want to meet this guy. My mom married another man years after and he is the one that raised me. Hes my real dad and i love him more then anything. If i were u i would wait until ur son is old enough to make his own decision. If hes smart hell want to stay away from the man who beat his mother. Dont force him to do anything, kids are smart theyll figure it out
