So finally I get to prove to my baby’s father that his son is his.
Now the thing that I’m not ready for is family court. I honestly want him to have some custody of his son because every boy needs their father but based off how he’s been since he was born I don’t think he deserves it.
He’s only seen his the day after he was born and hasn’t seen him since. I told him about his first appointment but he couldn’t make it due to transportation issues which I understand but then try to say I should have picked him up.
He blocked me and hasn’t reached out since, it’s almost been two months since I seen or heard from him and mind you he did this while I was pregnant.
I’m honestly not sure to handle this because I have so much built up feelings towards him but don’t want to risk me losing custody because of my feelings.
How do i prepare myself for this?!

Honestly if you have not gave birth yet . I just wouldn’t put him on the birth certificate. I had mixed feelings. After my baby’s father threatened to turn every argument into a “ a pissing contest I would loose “ I just did not put him on the birth he can’t do shit nor take me court with out a paternity test . Which it’s different for me mine refused. Since he blocked I mean this from a place where I mean well I may come of harsh . If he blocked you that does not want to be a part of. I would strongly suggest going to therapy, healing , and finding away to do with out him . He hit the block button not you . You’re not the one keeping the baby away . One day I hope you find some other treats you and your baby better

I doubt he will show to court. You have gone out of your way to include him. He is not interested, maybe when his son is much older he will be, but don’t sweat it now, just accept that he’s not going to be in baby’s life throughout the baby years at least, and honestly it’s okay. Baby’s need mom more and a-lot of nurturing. Dads can be nurturing too, but if one isn’t interested in being around, it’s a sign that they wouldn’t do a good job if they were forced to, and maybe they would neglect or hurt the child even if unintentionally. Just focus on you, and baby and don’t expect anything from him except child support payments now. The bare minimum keeps him in the loop but also your child safe from drama and harm. A lot of kids go 5 or more years before they really have dad around, and then they end up in a very close relationship with their dads that lasts the rest of their lives. The timeline may just not happen until later for dad and son to be close.

I’m not going to lie. I downloaded this app having high hopes of finding someone who look like me to be friends with and share experiences with each other that’s near by but I’m not getting anything 🫠.
