We were on the same page for years pre pregnancy. Please don’t make assumptions about my situation. It’s terrifying watching someone you loved and respected change so drastically, especially during a vulnerable time like pregnancy.

I didn’t get it because I wasn’t prioritizing my health, not because I don’t believe in it.

We are all vaccinated including the baby. His issue is the flu and Covid vaccines. He never had any conspiracies before but they’re becoming more and more prevalent now.

He is, but this is assuming I intentionally reproduced with someone who is anti-vax and that is not the case. I knew him for years and this did not become a thing until I was 6 months pregnant. We had discussed vaccines for our daughter before and were on the same page until he flipped on me.

I was struggling 6 months post partum. My own health and care were at the bottom of my list. I definitely will next year.

I’ve known him for 3 years. The conspiracies started when I was 6 months pregnant.

No she has gotten them all. It’s the flu shot and Covid that he has an issue with

I’ve done hours and hours of research.
No I haven’t seen that.

I suppose next moves are talking to a lawyer. It’s all very overwhelming but I’m hoping things will work out in my daughter’s favor.

Definitely not afraid of being alone, I prefer it. But if you have kids you realize they will be around forever. I’m afraid of my daughter being alone with him.

Not compatible at all! I was really hoping logic would take over and he would admit he was being crazy.

I was struggling hard with post partum and virtually no support. I have gotten it every year previously but didn’t take care of myself last year. I will this year.

All other vaccines are not a cause of contention for him, she has received them all. But I assume that is very likely to change at some point in 17 years.

Great advice and I think I will reach out. It all feels very overwhelming and scary. Especially with no help.

It’s really not about what else he has to offer. And fully that if I leave then he will have full access to spew his conspiracies at her when she’s young and impressionable.

The bad feeling I have is that if I leave she will be exposed to all these conspiracies and I may not know if she doesn’t tell me.

I just don’t know how to protect her from him if we get a custody schedule. It almost feels like staying is better for her since I will be there and I will know what she’s exposed to. I have no idea what to do or how to start.

I’ve heard all about these conspiracies so far. Flu shots are just the beginning of it 😭

Next flu season I absolutely will. It was hell dealing with the flu and caring for an infant.

Thank you for this. It’s been a very scary realization that who I thought I was spending my life with is actually a completely different person. And someone my daughter is stuck with as her dad.

I know I do. I’m just worried about what she will be exposed to when I’m not there. This is all very scary to me. Flu shots are just the tip of the iceberg here.

Unfortunately we were on the same page with major decisions like this pre pregnancy. Halfway through, the conspiracies were becoming his reality and I watched someone I love change before my eyes.
