Me and my babies dad has separated before my baby was born as he treated me horribly throughout the pregnancy, he chose alcohol and going out over spending money on stuff for his unborn son, he would chose dating other girls and spending money on them rather than buying things for his baby, he said he would save up but has not saved a penny, every month we planned to go shopping to buy stuff ready for when the baby was here but at the end of every month there was always an excuse if he has no money etc but then would still go out and spend his money on alcohol, it took him 8 months to spend £200 on stuff for the baby but that’s it, since the baby has been born he’s not once offered to ask me if I need anything for the baby eg nappies, wipes etc he barely asks how he is, he’s probably asked about twice, throughout the pregnancy I feel like he has emotionally abused me and he does it now, I have decided not to put him on the birth certificate because he needs to step up and prove that he is going to be a good dad and support the baby as through out the pregnancy he just did not seem to want to step up at all and he constantly let me down so I don’t want him to constantly let the baby down now that he is here, he has tried to control me by saying if I don’t put him on the birth certificate him or his family won’t support me, he has turned around and said that he will pay maintence when he is on the birth certificate trying to scare me into doing it, he has even made comments throughout my pregnancy like ‘the baby isn’t born yet’ so he seemed to think that that’s why he doesn’t need to step up yet and buy things yet as the baby wasn’t born yet, I am really needing some advice as he is really making me feel down because of how he is acting and making me feel
