Dad doesn't want anything to do with my pregnancy

[baby1201]

I split up with the father of my baby a week ago mainly as we didn't agree on how each other brought our children up from previous relationships, we had very different views on how a child should behave. Anyway, on Sunday I found out I am pregnant with his baby, great timing I know. I told him and he said for me to have an abortion or if I keep the baby he wants nothing to do with the baby and doesn't want to know anything. I am going to keep the baby. Now I'm thinking given the reason why we split up it might be the easiest option for him to play no part and I can bring the baby up as I please, however do you think he will change his mind? I suppose it has come as abit of a shock to him this but he point blankly refuses to accept or talk about it. Advice much appreciated x

I'm sorry to read the father of your baby doesn't want to know. I honestly couldn't say if he may change his mind as I have never been in this situation. I hope you are ok and someone can give you some good advice soon. though either way you will do a perfect job on your own x

Thanks for your reply, I already have one who doesn't see his dad so I'm sure I will manage one way or another with 2 x

Well there has been abit of a turnaround. I spoke to his mum the other day and told her about him trying to pressure me into having an abortion. which she agreed wasn't fair on me so she said she was going to get his dad to speak to him. That night he turned up on my doorstep wanting to give it another go with the baby so we are going to try to work things out. I feel relieved at the moment that I don't have to do it all by myself again.x
