Feeling low about being on my own

[Katie 22]

Hi I don't know if this is normal but I am feeling very down, people have told me its hormones but this cloud has been hanging over me for days now. I have periods of feeling ok and periods when I feel so down in the dumps and tearful at the drop of a hat. My partner and I split when I was couple of months gone and now he is refusing to acknowledge that he is even having a child. He doesn't believe that he is the father, as when we were on a break I slept with another man but there is 3 weeks between them and my due date indicates that my ex is the father. This situation is really getting me down, I feel I should be enjoying this time of my life but I just can't. I feel he is using the paternity of the child as a way of getting out of the responsibilities of fatherhood and this is making me so angry. Is there anyway I can reassure him he is the father apart from a DNA test? Please help

its ok I feel the same way sometimes, its hard, but it gets easier. I've reached the point where I'm actually kinda glad he's not around.

TBH, even if there was a way to convince him, he would likely still deny it, if he is not sticking by you as it is... congrats on the pregnancy, and I hope things get better for you!!

If he's really determined that it isn't his child you can file for child support and they'll make him do a DNA test.
I personally don't think he should get out of this a free bird.

You'll get through it hun,nobody plans this but it happens and we need to move on with our head up high

You will be ok you know hun, even when you think your at your lowest once you have the baby you will realise nothing matters but you an him/her!

when I had my first baby 5 years ago I split up with my ex because I realised I couldnt be looking after 2 kids ie him, so finished with him and he has never bothered with my lil girl only when it suits him! but you know what im proud of everythin I do because i can say I have done this without his help for how long now an thats how it will stay! i know its scary at first to think about it but all will turn out ok!

theres not much you can do with like paternity other than a dna test if hes denying it just bein a coward isnt he really! xx
