I’ve been homeless waiting for them to place me into temporary accommodation I have a 3 week old and im staying with a friend right now the father of my child can come to visit but he rarely does he’ll come every few days or so and when I question it he’ll say things like I need to make money who’s gnna bring the money in all these things and it’s just been really hard on me dealing with a new born all alone I just don’t feel like he takes responsibility as he should and he gets so angry ab it when I speak like this he’ll complain about how my friends is an hour drive and it’s very long and he’s got work and he needs to go work in the morning and it’s tiring all these things and how he’s got so much on his plate and i dnt know sometimes I think am I being unreasonable?

I don't think you're unreasonable to wish the father was around more. I can also sympathise with him struggling though if he's juggling work with a newborn living an hour away. It must be really tough on both of you.

Do you have any other support? Are your parents in the picture?
