Will he ever want to meet his kid?

[Anonymous]

I am 4 months pregnant and the baby dad left. He said he’s suicidal if I don’t get rid of it and just saying how he wants nothing to do with it and he’s just ringing me forcing me to get rid of it. He’s now blocked me on everything after I said I’m keeping it. I literally find out the gender in a week. He was so so happy at first about the baby I literally bought us a flat and now he wants nothing more to do. I’m just wondering, not that I’m holding onto false hope but would he ever want anything to do with his own child? I can’t wrap my head around it that a man would just not want anything to do with his own first kid even in the future? He’s 26 years old.

I'm sorry to hear that you are going through this difficult situation. It's understandable that you might have questions and concerns about the future, including whether the baby's father will want to be involved in his or her life.

Whether the father chooses to be involved in the child's life is up to him. However, it's important to prioritize your own and your baby's well-being, and to make decisions that are in your best interests.

If the father has expressed suicidal ideation or other concerning behaviors, it may be important to seek professional help for him and to prioritize your own safety and well-being. Additionally, you may want to consider seeking legal support to establish paternity and to secure child support and other resources for your child.

Ultimately, the most important thing is to focus on taking care of yourself and your baby, and to make decisions that are in your best interests and the best interests of your child.

It's possible but hard to tell honestly. The reality may not have fully set on yet. Stonee people don't handle stress and pressure will, and I would say at that age that's a major stressor. He might just need some time to come to terms with it and grow up a bit.

Maybe. He’s acting like a selfish juvenile right now though, trying to manipulate you into giving up the baby. He may come back around someday if his maturity level ever catches up to his age.

I sure hope not, the kid is definitely better off not knowing that worthless loser.

Good point

He's made his feels pretty clear and you've ignored them as your entitled to. But you're giving him no say in the decision and no control. It's therefore you're decision and your ownership and forcing him to comply. If it were the other way around you'd be complaining.
It may be that his mind changes over the years but at the moment you're going to get resentful compliance only.

I doubt he will want to see the child. It might be better if he doesn't and you break all ties with him. It could end up being a nightmare in the future.
