I’ve literally had a baby with a devil.

No one else to talk to so …

Ive got 3 kids from a previous relationship who see their dad. Everything fine.

met a new man who was wonderful to begin with. Absolutely wonderful. Truly thought he was my person.
after a few years started showing the odd “mood” here n there. Anyway. Got pregnant. Baby is now 11 months old.

during pregnancy he became almost an animal. Not even human. Name calling. Humiliating. Neglectful. He had little bursts of wanting to be there for me and he did provide well for baby coming but looking back it was crumbs.
when baby was born he was great in hospital as baby was unwell when born. But after a few months he started going back to his usual self. This is a very short version of what’s happened as don’t want to bore you.
anyway……..

I left him 10 weeks ago. For good. Always had my own house with the kids as when he started to turn there was no way I was signing my life to him baby or not.
since leaving him I’ve made it clear that he cannot see baby unless he works on his anger and temper and his abusive ways because my baby doesn’t get handed over to any angry unsafe person
of course this has raged him.

yes I’ve blocked him but you can’t block email
in this 10 weeks he has told me the following:

he doesn’t want his child to turn out like my others and they are vile children that won’t mount to anything.

if I don’t give him the baby it’s gonna get really ugly for me

then he switched to “I don’t need that ginger bast* anyway meaning the baby

told me to take his name off birth certificate and that the baby doesn’t deserve his second name

he’s told me which he always did anyway that I’m fat and calls me tubs and tells me I’m an ugly broke loser with nothing and nobody will want me with 4 kids

he’s told me he was sleeping with someone else and he doesn’t care and laughed about it

he reported me to social services for “being a bad mum and having post natal depression” they closed it straight away as malicious.

because I’ve not let him see baby of course he’s not sent me a penny.

he has called all my family horrible names and contacted mr family making horrible lies about me that are not true.

honestly he has dragged me through the absolute mud. This isn’t even half of it.

just can’t bileave this is my life post partum. The up side is my children adore their new little brother he is so loved he is literally everyone’s little dolly !! They never leave him alone and they thank me for having him which melts me.

I completely ignore my ex now I’ve gone total no contact because it’s a no win situation he’s awful. He’s gone silent this week and it scares me and I don’t know why. I’m always wondering what he’s planning. Has anyone had anything similar. I don’t even know why I’m posting this. My brain feels like scrambled egg xx

Be careful love and block him you dont need to read his hate.

As someone who also has had a child with the devil, I would say to go nuclear from Now as in log everything and if he ever gives you reason to call the police, call the police and get it all logged down.

I’ve had over 10 years of issues, bitterness, abuse from my child’s father. It hasn’t got better- I thought it had for awhile but ultimately devils never change.

PinkFootstool · 24/11/2025 11:11

Contact the police. This is domestic abuse and harassment. You don't have to put up with this.

Agree

Itsnaptime · 24/11/2025 17:44

I have been through very similar.... Contact 101 to report it and then call women's aid. They helped me get a non molestation order meaning he couldn't contact me and also not allowed via a 3rd party

bluefluffytrees · 24/11/2025 17:54

I agree with the non molestation order also.

StruggleFlourish · 24/11/2025 18:14

As others have mentioned, yes you can block an email, or you can have it automatically filtered to go to a specific inbox...
This can take a lot of stress away because you're no longer dreading a notification of an email, knowing that it might be him and what horrible things he going to say next?
However, I'm just wondering if it's smarter to keep these emails. Back them up, take screenshots, print them if you need to have a hard copy of them, put them in a binder, along with any other proof of abuse / terrible things that were said / if you have any photos of anything that he's done like damage she's done after a period of enragement etc.
All of this can be great proof if you need it for a lawyer or for police or for family services or some other thing.
I know it's very easy to say and hard to do but if possible try to detach your emotions from these messages. They aren't really about you, they really only reflect upon him, and every word that he writes is just making it all that much worse for him as long as you keep the emails.
Keep them in their original format which shows when they were sent, when they where they were sent from and who sent them, simply copying and pasting the words into a word document won't be enough proof that he actually did send these and that you have a timeline that shows this.
I'm so sorry you're going through this.

This. For heaven's sake report him. He sounds unbalanced. Ask the police to check whether he has a history of DV.

Talk to social services and ensure they are aware of his email abuse.

Make sure your personal security is tight. Car. House. Work etc.

Burntt · 24/11/2025 18:24

The fact you have all that in email is actually good. If he ever takes you to court for contact you print it all out and file it as evidence of his abuse. Things are changing with family court supposedly so abusive men don’t get automatic access like they have been given to date.

go via CMS for the maintenance.

Get a thick skin for the comments you will get from other women about choosing to have a baby with such a man. People who haven’t lived it really don’t comprehend how someone can hide who they are so well until they get a baby on you.

sliver lining is if you grey rock him (google it and implement it) then he likely will move on and try find himself a new victim to impregnate. Mine did after he won enough contact in court to reduce his maintenance he stopped having the kids

Nanny0gg · 24/11/2025 12:13

Set up a 'rule' so that the email goes into a folder that you don't have to read

Do you have a friend or relative that can check on it for you to see if there's any direct threats?

Is he on the birth certificate?

"told me to take his name off birth certificate"

It's in the OP Nanny.

I’m sure you’re trying to be funny… but this isn’t the post for it.

TeaBiscuitsNaptime · 24/11/2025 20:05

The fact that you have no one else to talk to could mean that he has isolated you or scared off people who you were once close to. Its often done without the victim realising it. Isolating the victim is very common in abusive relationships

Isittimeformynapyet · 28/01/2026 02:08

After all the heartfelt messages of support and sound advice on this thread the OP is now 5 weeks pregnant by this same man.

I find this very, very sad.

Oh dear. I read the first few pages of the other thread.

What an absolute fool of a woman to be pregnant again by that pig of a man. What sort of morals is she showing to her other children …

Nope, unfortunately not. She started another thread last night/yesterday. I haven't looked at it since so maybe it's been taken down. Title is something like DP Forcing Me To Have Abortion.

It's still there, but comments were closed as HQ said it was becoming a pile on.

I agree with @dogmama13

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 28/01/2026 05:27

Oh dear. Either her contraception methods messed up and/or he fooled her into sleeping with him, maybe saying he’d changed.

Oh I saw it. What a shambles poor kids. I know you can’t predict how men will be for the first child but she does already know what he’s like. Hopefully it’s fake and a bad creative writing exercise.
