I'm feeling this little one so much, he/she is so super active. It feels so real.
On a darker note, I've been hesitating telling my Ex so much, I've click on his email to message him and I always ex it out, because I'm so afraid of the reality that he is going to abandon this baby like he abandoned me.
I know as soon as I tell him that I wasnt lying about being pregnant and I was afraid to tell him because he said some horrible things about me, im going to feel so much better
I mean I'm almost 16 weeks, and this baby deserves a lot than I can provide right now, and I want to tell this baby I am so sorry, because I promised myself I would have a father for my children like I never had, and it's up to him if I've broken that promise to this little life.
Can anyone help me write a formal letter to him, to explain how much of a big deal this is? His sister helped me through the first 8 weeks, and when I had my first period, she said it could be a tubal pregnancy, and he just laughed it off and said "loldeadbaby"
and I know he's going to say something like that again...I'm so afraid.
Hun, don't feel guilty that you are breaking a promise, when he is the one that could let the baby down.
I was a single mother to my daughter and her father doesn't really make an effort, but I never stop them from having a relationship. I was both the mother and father to her, because you have to be.
How old is he? He sounds very childish. x
I agree. For now, all you can do is try to tell him about the baby. You can't force him to believe it, and it may not even be "real" to him until after the baby is born. Who knows?
I told my ex what the gender was, and all he had to say was "huh.. cool.." and hasn't talked about her since.
Unfortunately, it's not as "real" for some guys because, for one, they can't feel it every day. They don't have the reality that we do through it all, and sometimes won't actually come to their senses until the baby is bundled up in their arms. That is when it's real to them.
Your best bet is to just e-mail him with a picture of the ultrasound. Even if you don't get a response, just keep him informed. I know the thought of "breaking the promise" is horrible now. But just remember that what the child will need most is you, your love and your care. It's him breaking that promise, not you. So don't blame yourself. Just take care of yourself. And remember to keep the proof that you tried to keep him informed. As much as you may not like to think about it, you have to make sure that you are prepared for the worst. Make sure that, if he decides to change his mind last minute and try for full custody, he can't say you didn't inform him. He can't say you hid it. And you can show his lack of effort throughout the pregnancy. I know its not the greatest thought to have to deal with, because I'm going through that, too. But remember to cover yourself, and to take care of yourself and your baby.
Stay strong, hun.
