He’s Toxic But He’s the Father. What Now?

Finding out you’re pregnant can be difficult. But when your partner is toxic, emotionally manipulative, or unsafe, making decisions can feel more complicated. You may be trying to figure out how to move forward with the pregnancy while letting go of the relationship, or you may not be sure you want to continue the pregnancy at all.

Whatever situation you’re in, taking a moment to breathe and get the facts is a powerful first step. At Problem Pregnancy Center, we meet with women who are trying to decide if they want to move forward with the pregnancy. If that’s where you are, we’re here to help you confirm the viability and stage of your pregnancy and walk through your options at no cost and without pressure.

If you’ve already decided to continue the pregnancy, there are still practical ways to protect your peace and make a healthy plan forward, even if the father is not involved.

For Women Who Want to Keep the Baby But Let Go of the Relationship

You may already know you want to continue the pregnancy but don’t see a future with the father, and that’s ok. It is possible to raise a child in a safe, loving environment — even without the father involved.

Here are a few places to start:

• Look for local support groups. Community centers, churches, and some nonprofits offer parenting classes and support for single mothers.

• Apply for financial assistance if needed. Programs like WIC, Medicaid, and housing assistance can help lighten the load during pregnancy and after birth.

• Search online for “pregnancy resources near me” or “single mom support in [your city]” Many women find long-term support through local organizations that exist to help.

Even if the relationship was unhealthy, this pregnancy can still become a turning point for your future. You don’t have to do everything alone, and letting go of a toxic relationship can make space for a healthier path forward.
