Firstly, good luck with your PG - it's an amazing, weird, crazy but fantastic experience, even if you do end up feeling like I do - a walking science experiment! But BB is great for information, support, whinging & celebrating the milestones.
Secondly, I'm going to express complete disbelief/disgust at the guy who told you that your genes were screwed up & that this would effect your child - you've probably dealt with it already, but reading it now, I'm just completely outraged. What an evil, nasty, stupid person. & as for men who don't want to accept the consequences of their actions - well, don't sit next to the fire if you can't handle the heat.
having got that out of my system, for the same reasons given by IK, I think the father has a right to know (as does your baby), so even though it's a challenging conversation to have, better to have it out in the open. And if you have an idea mapped out of what type of support you want from him (or not), then it might make the conversation a little easier - cos he'll probably be a bit stunned at first, so it might take a little while to digest.
