How will I feel about my baby after what the dad has done?

He has basically left me at 6 months pregnant. He has been difficult most of the time and hasn’t seemed happy or loving or anything really.

I am scared I will not feel the way I should for the baby because of this? Will I always see him in them?

How will it be always having him in my life in some way? Will it always feel awful?

Your baby will be it's own person, not an extension of you or its father. Yes, you will probably see traits of either/ both of you (good and bad) but you will love them anyway

It feels awful now because (a) you've only just broken up, (b) you're facing a big life change, alone and (c) this is probably not what you envisioned and (d) you are mourning your hopes for a happy family life. It's shit.

But it will pass and you will be just fine 🙂 Hopefully you have good friends and family.

Will he even be in the baby's life that much?

You'll love the baby more than life itself and forget about him.
