Sorry for posting so much over these past few days, there is a lot going on. I posted earlier about how my employer recently refused to provide me with a work permit due to my pregnancy (which means they were effectively firing me, by forcing me to be an illegal resident without the permit). I raised a huge fuss, a lot of people stood up for me, and the end result is that the company has now promised to get the work permit (though let's see if they follow through on that promise). But here is the really disturbing thing: The real reason they refused the work permit and put me through that hell (three days of sheer panic, hyperventilating, worrying about where i would go now while 6 months pregnant and how i'd even afford the birth and to feed the baby) ... the real reason .. is that the abusive father of the baby contacted my boss by email claiming i was going to scam the company for the maternity leave, and then just quit the job immediately after. Mind you, my boss did not know this man, which means this was just an email from an unknown person accusing me of something. But my boss believed it, without consulting me. He never even told me about this. The baby's father has been threatening to "ruin my life" from the beginning; he told me he was going to get me fired so that there'd be so much instability in my life i'd get an abortion. Then, after an abortion was no longer possible, he started demanding adoption. This is an abusive sociopath. He has made the pregnancy hell. He has put his own child in jeopardy by treating me this way and constantly bullying me. Now he has affected my work, and my boss believed him. It feels like two sociopaths ganging up on me. Knowing that this sociopath father of my baby has such reach, and that he can apparently just make up lies about me and nearly cost me my job, my life and my baby, what do i do? He can do this any time he wants know, just email my boss with some bullshit lies and try to ruin my life. I don't feel safe here. I don't know what to do. I want to quit, just so he can't find me and do things like this. But then I can't take care of the baby. What do I do?
