To hate him?

Sorry this is a long one, I'll condense as much as I can.

I was with my ex 3.5 years, we didn't live together but had a nice relationship.
I have PCOS and regularly don't have periods for 3, sometimes even 6 months. I was told, like my sisters, if I wanted to conceive I'd need meds to induce ovulation.

In 3.5 years my ex NEVER came inside me ... until one night, he did.
I asked him why? He said he just couldn't stop. I found it strange as it was something he never did, didn't really think much of it though, 4 or so weeks later, I started feeling sick and very tired, i though, although unlikely I'd better do a pregnancy test, I was beyond shocked that it was positive and I knew straight away that I wanted to keep it.
He demanded an abortion, get rid of it etc threatened to have someone kill me if I didn't.

Anyway, I had the baby and he has no contact and seemingly never will.

I was round my parents last week and I said that I hate ex for what he's done and how could he be so cruel to his own son, my dad said, well you've ruined his life by having a baby he doesn't want and I'm sure he hates you too, perhaps he is even more entitled to hate you, I left the conversation there as I don't want to argue with my dad.

This man done what you do to possibly create a baby and that happened, this part was all him.

Aibu to feel hate towards this man?

Why is the dad a bastard?
The father/ex clearly didn’t want the baby so yes he must be unhappy you went ahead with the pregnancy.

But you wanted your baby, that’s all that matters so live your life, enjoy your child and don’t waste your time hating his father.

YANBU to hate the selfish, useless tosser, but I hope in time the hatred will mellow into a vague, diffident contempt (much easier to live with).

Your dad is a bastard.

Well you should have used contraception but that horse has bolted.

Your father doesn't sound very nice.

@thestudio tbh I've never seen this type of opinion from him, I was so shocked and had no idea this was how he felt

Well you haven’t ruined his life, don’t let him ruin yours. Concentrate on your baby and put the ex where he belongs, in the bin.
Your father has a very unpleasant attitude.

I'm surprised you don't feel hate towards your father, who is a vile misogynist.

I expect he has form, doesn't he?
