Baby's dad has left, cut me out and nasty..

I'm 22 weeks pregnant, and my baby's dad has left me due to a deterioration in my mental health. At first he was nice about it, but over the last couple of days, he has turned nasty. Going as far to send me a message to say that anything regarding baby needs to go through his mum, as he doesn't want to ever have to talk to me if possible. He's used my mental health to attack me verbally, and he is cutting me off as if I never existed. I have never been kicked so hard when I am down, and I've never felt so meaningless and worthless.. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, I am new here and wasn't sure..

You’re not meaningless or worthless, you’ve got a small person inside you who you mean the world too. You at everything to your DC and you are so strong that you don’t need anyone else.
Sounds like he has shown his true colours,
To be hoe at this is better now rather than later down the line.
Do you have a good support network? Are you under the perinatal team?

I'm not under the perinatal team just yet, they have referred me twice and keep saying I'll get a call, but I've not heard anything just yet.

I guess he has shown his true colours, just never expected this and I'm terrified of failing on my own. Honestly wish I was stronger, I can't sleep, I'm struggling to eat, having to force food in because I know I have to but it takes so long

Oh hunnie, my daughters dad did the same, but early on in the pregnancy told me to abort her. He was too clung up over another girl. So you know what I did? Sucked it up and bloody enjoyed my pregnant and watching my little lady grow in to the gorgeous little bean she is. He soon came running back when she was born, I turned around and howled in his face and asked him if he she broke his poor little heart like he did mine. And I don't care what annoying us to say I refuse for him to see her. You know why? Because he wasn't man enough to be there through the struggle of Pregnancy and help me where I needed him the most he simply thought about himself.

Your doing a good job I'm not saying to do what I did and cut him off but if I'm honest it's a bit childish having to go through his mum, he's not in school no more.

It's okay to have mental health I have mental health just make sure you speak to you midwife about it and make sure you sit down and tell someone. Please please please don't leave it until things are bad always seek the help I know it's easy said than done but think about your little one xxx
