Should i keep the baby?

I am 22 years old and pregnant. I was engaged to an abusive man who I broke it off with a few months ago. We continued to have sex and I insisted that he use protection. But after I told him I was pregnant he admitted that he was trying to trap me. So...

obviously, he wants the baby. I'm not sure I want to be tied to him for the next 18 years for obvious reasons. Should I keep the baby?

This decision isn't about him but about YOU. You have to think about what you want and what would be the best decision for you (and the child if you decide to have it). Nobody can take that decision for you and nobody can force you to do anything you don't want to do. Remember, you are the one that is in control of the situation.

You took the first right step by breaking up with a man that abuses you. Under no circumstances should you let someone that abuses you back into your life (whether you have his child or not). Getting over abuse and learning to stop being a victim of it takes time and means you need help (as does he!). You should turn to those you trust for support and go see a therapist, psychologist or social worker to help you sort out these issues. The first thing is to stop the cycle of abuse, stop being a victim and stop giving the abuser the tools to abuse you.

This decision isn't easy and it might help to look at your options in a practical manner and talk about it with someone (a therapist, physiologist or social worker would be best) :

How will you pay for and raise the child? Do you feel that you can raise him alone? Are there people willing to help? How will you protect him from an abusive father? How do you feel about having a baby under such circumstances? Is there someone who can go to the hospital with you? Would you rather adoption over abortion?

It's important to take the time to think things through and talk about them. It's not what is better but which decision is better for you under the circumstances. Only you can answer that one and only you can make the right decision. Both roads have their joys and pains.

If you can be independent financially I advice you to keep the baby. Later you may step out from that trap if you really want. It is really beautiful to give life when you are 22. But that is also true, if this is a real trap, and you do not see any way to a later escape from it, then you should be careful.

I am not so sure how to answer this question???
All I can tell you is that if hes that bad, then no, and like if he abuses you, imagine what he'll do to your baby! It's terrifying!

You're a grown lady. Tell me again why you broke off the engagement but continued to have sex with him.

I don't like the idea of abortion, but I don't like the idea of kids being raised by inept parents either. There aren't exactly many options here, so you decide.
