Without getting into too much detail, my ex was verbally and emotionally abusive. My friends and family finally got me to recognize it three weeks ago, along with a huge fight we had in which he told me hated me and wished he never met me when I merely came to him for support when I called him to tell him I was hospitalized. 

In that hospital stay I discovered I was pregnant. I want to keep the baby. The thing is, I want nothing to do with my ex because he scares me. It's hard to remain objective when he has been nothing but cruel and abusive to me, especially when he was cruel at a time of need. I know he doesn't want to be a father and I've seen how he treats me and other people. He has conflicted relationships with all his family members and doesn't speak to any of them. I've seen him be loving to his dog but I've also seen him hit and yank her around on her leash. I know all of this doesn't say what type of father he will be, but I'm scared that he's going to want to "do the right thing" and be responsible and involved but treat our child the same way he treats everyone else. 

Do I have to tell my ex I'm pregnant if I truly believe his presence may be harmful to our baby? I just want to do the right thing here.
