So i spent the majority of my pregnancy alone and even gave birth completely alone. my baby dad abandoned me and my son and even blocked my number and my social accounts. my son is now three months old and he recently called me “accidentally” and asked about our son. i gave him some information but not much. i feel so full of anger but honestly i feel like i am still in love with him. he’s not on the birth certificate and our son has my last name. i genuinely never expected this man to crawl out from hiding, but now that he has i have been overthinking and just a fucking mess. my baby dad has not reached out since but he has unblocked my socials..part of me wants to reach out more and try to make things work but the relationship became incredibly toxic during my pregnancy. i just want to do right by my son but i feel incredibly torn, should i just leave this man alone or try to fix our broken home? or at the very least try coparenting? i have been so exhausted as everything has been on me since we broke up.

You can call me anytime I have two kids with my last name, no dad on birth certificates and gave birth alone for both of them.

Yes I am exhausted too I completely understand

I could have written the above myself as lots of similarities in your story and mine however regardless of any feelings you have for him do nothing. Let the man be involved if he wants to be, don’t force it if he doesn’t and you can still love him but you owe it to your son and yourself to flourish without being involved romantically with him. X

I agree with the above if he actually puts effort to be a dad let him. If not you don’t really have to do anything if you don’t want to put him on cs.
