I am a first time mom, and my child has a narcissistic father. I want to do the right thing by her for her. I want her to still be known by his side of the family. But I don’t have a relationship or technically know his family. I just want my child to be known and see if they want to be apart of her life.
I am a believer of God and I don’t want to react out of urgency because it’s my flesh
But I’m tired of getting the short end of the stick because now it’s my child involved.
There’s a chance they will receive it well and another chance that they want nothing to do with her. I just don’t know what to do.
Do you keep the narcissistic father out my child’s life?
Because he knows his child is here/born but is treating this child “outta sight outta mind”
I don’t want my child to grow up hating me, or herself because my child’s dad is a narcissistic. Like how can you explain that?

I am in the same boat as you. I struggle for a couple months begging him to be a father to our little girl and finally I gave up. I go about my life and focus on my daughter. If he wanted to be involved he would be if his family wanted anything to do with her they’d contact me is how I look at it. I have plans to take him to court for legal custody as he is barely involved.

Im dealing w the same thing mt daughter is only 3 months and I’m still trying to figure out how I want to handle this. Already some of my family are saying to cut him and his family off since they see they’re not doing anything and are all talk. My bd basically is very disrespectful and mean to me. It’s not an easy thing to go through.
