I got pregnant in 2021 and my boyfriend and i were 16 but he was over the moon, the first few months he came to every appointment and even prepared to move in with me. But in July we started to get rocky, he didn't buy anything for the baby, ignored me and didn't make time to see me. In October he left me then started hanging out with other girls 3 days later. He was there at the birth and we were getting along, if felt like we were getting back together, we were doing things we did when we were together but then he completely shut off. he rarely asks how his son is and he seems very happy living his life without the baby but expects to still have the father title. now i'm just lonely, no matter who i have around me, i still feel lonely and i'm constantly crying. i'm struggling to get up to look after the baby and i'm stuck on what to do and how to handle all of this.

Oh no, it’s really difficult. I had my son when I was a year or so older than you and I had the same with my on/off boyfriend. Spent far too much energy being upset over him and what he was doing and he would break up with me be off doing god knows what and then I’d take him back as I was embarrassed that I wasn’t with the father of my child. In the end he now doesn’t see my son at all as he just stopped bothering.
I would just try to focus on your lovely baby, try and get out and do things. It’s just not worth your energy to be dealing with him really.
