Jenna,

I agree it might help to tell your parents so they know. Have your husband there with you to help explain that he made the decision as well to keep the baby. Also, did you ever do anything with the police? A report? If not, you really should. Even though right now there may not be much evidence of rape, you can at least give them an idea to watch out for him. Or you could try for a restraining order. Those can take time, but he can't approach you or your son then. All you have to say is you were raped by him. Even if there is no evidence, you still have a chance to win.

Another suggestion is to install a dash cam on your car. This way if he ever does happen come up to the car to try anything, or just to taunt, then you have it on video or audio. I actually did something like this after I was mugged in my car, and the police did NOTHING despite me telling them exactly where they were and where they were going. So now, I have proof and hopefully an image of them if anyone ever tries anything like that again.

One other thing. The one thing I suggest every woman gets. Self-defense classes. There was one that was only women in my old town. The woman did it because two of her close friends had been raped. Since she used to be on the police force, she knew some moves and decided to teach women how to defend themselves. So she met with a karate teacher and they worked on moves together. Now they teach them for $40, and you have 4 sessions over the course of a couple months. They had a daycare for free where you just look out a glass window and see the children.

Perhaps you could find something like this?
