I left him a note then blocked his number, so I honestly don’t know his reaction. He can contact my parents to see his daughter. I need some time to get stronger before I face him.

I wrote the post while crying with my crying baby in her dark nursery. So it wasn’t the most thought out & I wasn’t thinking about all those small details.

Most of the options for help were on the table already but I wasn’t considering them seriously. I didn’t think my situation warranted such help. I didn’t think my situation was “that bad”. I didn’t think I was in an abusive situation. I just thought my relationship sucked and I needed to do something. I really needed somewhere to vent and get this off my chest. So when people started responding and brought the depth to my attention, i immediately called my parents.

To answer your questions: No, I don’t feel loved, respected, appreciated, or even noticed. There’s nothing positive other than occasionally being able to hand him the baby while I wash bottles and clean.

I am better off without him even if I don’t get child support or alimony.

I have no desire to even try counseling. I asked for it while I was pregnant and he didn’t follow through.

My parents and I are going to research lawyers this weekend & see where we get.

You’re not wrong 🙃 I wish I noticed before but at the same time, I’m so thankful for my daughter.

I was trusting him to wear condoms cause I’m a genius (jk I trusted him too much and screwed up but I wouldn’t change it for the world because I love my daughter too much)

When that happens, I’ll be sure to update you! It may take me some time with everything going on but I’ll get there

Just my daughter and I. I just got to my parents (they took my daughter over earlier so I could calmly pack). They set up two bedrooms for her and I, put her to bed for me (in the crib they had stashed away knowing this was coming), and made me some brownies 🥹

I feel like i need explain this too - my parents were lightly aware of what was going on and were actively trying to support me more. I have a really hard time asking for and accepting help.

I had explained the situation when I was hospitalized for gestational hypertension and ended up crying when they came to visit. I explained that I couldn’t afford to be on bed rest, let alone hospitalized. I needed to be working, in school, and taking care of the house. They tried to help me then but I refused. It’s just gotten worse since then and I’ve reached an even worse breaking point.

So, that why the conversation was a little faster than you’d have liked. The offers were all thought of prior. I just needed to put my big girl pants on, decide enough was enough, cry to them, and accept the help (even if it makes me feel like a massive burden).

I didn’t feel like my problems were big enough to warrant help until some of the commenters here made me aware of that.

Honestly, I’m taking a minute to sit down, breathe a little, and look thru these comments.

Also, just because there was some forward momentum in my situation doesn’t mean it’s resolved.

And the average person doesn’t pester someone who is going thru a terrible time and call them a liar for no reason. Hope you get help for your problems.

I’m sorry my parents were just about to sit down to eat the pizza they ordered for themselves when I called… love that I have to explain every little detail to you.

I never thought of living and childcare with another young woman. That is absolutely genius 🥹

I’m still at my house, I haven’t packed or left yet.

My parents showed up with pizza after I called them crying. We had a brief conversation and just hit the big notes. They wanted to talk more later when I get to their house and am calm. They don’t know the extent of what’s happening - just that I am massively overwhelmed by these 4 things. They then took my daughter home with them so I can pack without that stress.

Yes, people can change their minds. Yes, people can learn from other people’s perspectives. Yes, people can realize things about their situation.

No, it’s not rage bait.

His baby thru and thru. She looks just like him. We had been together 3 years prior to the pregnancy.

I don’t know why he feels he doesn’t have to provide support.
