Hi, Hunny...I'm sorry this happened to you , it sucks....
Here's what you do...You pick yourself up and take a hard look at your situation...Do you have a stable place to live? Do you have medical insurance? Do you have a way to pay your bills? If the answer to those questions is "No.", then you need to get that settled now. Talk to social services about getting WIC, and to Child Support Services about how and when to get child support set up for your baby....It will be healthier for you and the baby....Realize that he may want to visit with his child, and has that right no matter how much of a douche he is, and that the baby has the right to see him....But do not let yourself be drawn into drama...You have to be civil, but that's it, you owe him nothing else....
Realize also that any woman can unexpectedly find herself a single mother....the three D's - death, divorce and douchebaggery - can happen to anyone at anytime...You're afraid now, but you'll find you are stronger, braver smarter and more resourceful than you ever knew you could be...You can do this

1. Take care of yourself. Your baby needs a strong, stable Momma.
2. Don't waste time and energy worrying about why he's not taking responsibility. He's not going to change.
3. Fear is a great motivator. Make a life for you and your son. If I can do it, anyone can.

I went through the same thing your going through now only a lil different. Don't worry about him, it will only be worse for ya'll. Seeing as he's already acting like my ds father don't expect cs. If u get it that's great but it's better to not need it than to need it and not have it. And things WILL get better :) -

Welcome I'm glad you found us!!!! -
Don't focus on him.. he's gone.. you look forward to that little baby.. as much as you feel lonely now, that little bundle will fill that void.. that first time you hold him, you realize you never loved anyone as much as that little boy!
Be strong, there are better men out there.
