Sick cat, feel like a bad person

Our cat, 14 years, is sick, he went to the vet 3 times last week and turns out he has pancreatitis. He doesn’t eat or drink.
The vet visits easily cost 1000 pounds. And we can’t really keep paying massive vet bills.

We have a 20 month old, and I’m 8 weeks pregnant. I just don’t have the mental capacity to deal with this. I want the the cat to live several more years, and our 20 month old loves him.
But with him just not eating and with vet bills I just feel like we should put him down.

We had 2 cats and put the previous down a month before our daughter was born, at that point he probably wouldn’t have lasted out the month anyway, and I felt we should have put him down earlier.

But our remaining cat isn’t as bad as our old one I just don’t want to deal with it, and I feel bad!

Am I horrible?

We went through similar last weekend with a 15 year old cat and to be kind to her we had to let her go and stop any suffering for her.

My sons dad and I can't agree on potty training rules.

My sons dad and his girlfriend wanna keep my son in underwear all the time instead of pull ups for potty training. Then when they took him to me to mcdonalds he had an accident in the play place playground. Then my sons dad and his girlfriend got mad at me for putting him in a pull up instead of underware. Then I i had to change his outfit for a 2nd time cause i had to wash his hair in the mcdonalds bathroom sink cause his hair got sticky. His dad said "he does not usually have accidents. He is potty trained" i told him "no he is still in the process of being potty trained. He just had an accident. He is not potty trained." The girlfriend also kept trying to override me and said "he has underwear" when i handed my sons dad a pull up for our son later. I think she wanted to embarass me on purpose. The dad also acted weird when they left. I offered him the rest of the pack of pull ups and he said no then his girlfriend gave me a mean look and then he changed his mind and said yes and took them. This is so weird to me.
