Child's father and family won't speak to me

I had my baby six weeks ago, I've messaged him and called him since her birth- he hasn't said a single word. He knows our baby is his, and he's ignoring me. His sister spoke to me and was very keen to meet our little girl but has now started ignoring me too. His whole family won't talk to me. I'm so confused, and can't understand why this is happening to us. I'm a good mother, I'm intelligent, well spoken and dressed and generally a nice person. I'm not trying to blow my own trumpet I'm just saying I'm not exactly an embarrassment. We aren't together but we're on okay terms. My babies father has a four and a half year old daughter already who him and his family adore and dote on. I'm scared my child's missing out on a family and a sister, and the little girl has no idea about my baby. I'm at a loss what to do, he's not even on the birth certificate. I'm not exaggerating- he hasn't said anything about her birth. And she is beautiful I know everyone says that but she is darling and very good, hardly cries and is so sweet. It hurts that he doesn't love her and I love her so much. I don't claim child support and I don't want a penny from him or his family it's not like that. He's 23, and he loves his other child. What's wrong with me? What's wrong with my baby?

Lea- that did make me laugh! Yes he's not exactly father of the year let alone a decent human being. I guess it is his loss. I just can't seem to let go of it :/

When you have a little one we want it all to be perfect..

It sounds like you are doing a fantastic job

He on the other hand is not a good dad.. I know from my experience that I somehow assumed my DS's dad would out his DS's needs first he never did...All the chasing encouraging was pointless and only caused me heartache...

Put in your claim to CMS..He knows where you are.. If he is interested he will come looking..It is easier to move on when you stop trying to make someone what they don't want to be..
