When I was pregnant, my baby's father abandoned me throughout my entire pregnancy and started a relationship with someone else. She doesn't know he has a child, and as far as I know, most of the people around him don't either that includes his family. My baby is now 6 months old. Since then, he's apologized for how he treated me and says he wants to be part of our son's life, but he's still keeping our child a secret from his family, friends, and partner.
Every time he sees our son, I can see the love he has for him and the joy in his eyes. But at the same time, another part of me feels like he's disrespecting our son by hiding him from others.
Is it reasonable to cut contact with him and move on with my life?

Smh why not ,do what's best for your sanity

I’d consider saying to him that he needs to tell his partner and family about his child or you will cut his contact. It’s not a safe/secure relationship for your son if he is a secret. If something accidentally comes out and they find out this could jeopardise your son seeing his dad anyway which would be awful. Like hypothetically his partner could find out and be so angry and say he can’t see him etc and it could be avoided by him being honest. It would be way better for your son and isn’t fair he’s a secret.
I hope it goes well. You deserve peace and joy whilst raising your little one xx
