Baby dad called..

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.

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.

Should trans people have to disclose they are trans to potential partners/dates from the start?

And should it be classed SA if they sleep with someone without informing them, and this person wasn’t okay with it?

Please tell me I’m not the only one really struggling with this? I’m doing really silly, forgetful things, losing really important things and just in general feel very absentminded and not really knowing what’s going on 😂🫠 any tips, tricks or just general reassurance that I’m not alone 😂

I hate how my boyfriend acts

I do. I love him but I hate how he acts. It’s like he cant be honest with me in the moment & then blows up later. I don’t think I can do this for much longer. I hate it. Advice?

What do I do?

I broke up with bf before the baby was born. He never wanted the baby and tried to manipulate me into having an abortion and was very hit and miss with being present up to birth. This didn't bother me but he went around telling everyone I ruined his perfect family and ignore his messages. The only time he messaged me while pregnant was to say how much he loved me and wanted to get back together. This turned into harassment which went as far as messaging my mum and sister who's only 12 sying i'm hormonal and don't know what i'm talking about. He never once asked about his child, if he did I would answer. Since the baby was born he's had minimal contact with the baby and barely asks how he's doing. He hasn't contributed to anything. I've brought everything, gone to all the lessons etc while he hasn't done anything. I just feel at ends wit that i,m getting hammered on social media by his friends and family about how i'm a bad mum for taking away access to his son which I haven't done and how they will make sure he knows what I did when he grows up. It's constant back a forth he says I'm keeping him away from his son but he posts online that he wouldn't be suprised if it was someone elses baby and how he wants to move away but he can't do that anymore because the baby holds him back.

He messages me the week he's nearby and says I'm coming to see him in the next few days when can I come round. I feeling like i'm being made a fool because he knows I won't fight back and I'll give him visitation because I want them to at least tey and have bond.

On top of him doing all this he's trying to start a relationship with someone with children. I feel awful saying this but what makes her children better than the one he's got and has abandened.

I just don't know what to do anymore. Going to court seems extreme but what else can I do?
