I had my baby six weeks ago, I've messaged him and called him since her birth- he hasn't said a single word. He knows our baby is his, and he's ignoring me. His sister spoke to me and was very keen to meet our little girl but has now started ignoring me too. His whole family won't talk to me. I'm so confused, and can't understand why this is happening to us. I'm a good mother, I'm intelligent, well spoken and dressed and generally a nice person. I'm not trying to blow my own trumpet I'm just saying I'm not exactly an embarrassment. We aren't together but we're on okay terms. My babies father has a four and a half year old daughter already who him and his family adore and dote on. I'm scared my child's missing out on a family and a sister, and the little girl has no idea about my baby. I'm at a loss what to do, he's not even on the birth certificate. I'm not exaggerating- he hasn't said anything about her birth. And she is beautiful I know everyone says that but she is darling and very good, hardly cries and is so sweet. It hurts that he doesn't love her and I love her so much. I don't claim child support and I don't want a penny from him or his family it's not like that. He's 23, and he loves his other child. What's wrong with me? What's wrong with my baby?
