[quote=Anonymous]OP - Deal with the depression first, please.  All of your decisions may look a bit different when you come out on the other side.  Heal yourself emotionally.

I'm a single mom - never married, got pregnant while in a relationship, lost the relationship due to the pregnancy, but decided to stay pregnant because of my age - I knew I'd likely never have another shot at motherhood without putting a lot of time pressure on myself to settle down.

It is not terrible.  It can be stressful, and there would definitely be more money if we weren't running two households.  But my ex is a pretty good father and we do a good job of co-parenting.  Our child is happy and well-adjusted and a joy to both families.

Even without the kid, I'd still rather be single than be with someone who wasn't a great fit.  Yes, it's tough out there.  Yes, I sometimes go years without a date.  But I have lots of friends and a busy life, and much of the time, I don't dwell on my singlehood.

From what you way about your husband, he probably won't be a good father.  If he's abusive now, imagine him more stressed and more sleep-deprived - you'd be knowingly bringing a baby into that.  You have a few options that do not involve him, and you might want to research them, but don't act on them until you've got the depression kicked.  Please.[/quote]
