Hi all. Currently gave birth 4 weeks ago to a little boy. But I am not coping very well. I'm hating the newborn stage a lot and I find it really difficult. A lot has happened between me and the child's dad. A lot of bad stuff. We don't speak anymore. For numerous reasons. But lately it's really getting me down that they haven't met yet . So so so down. My mum says not to tell him but he told my friend he wanted to be involved in the child's life regardless of what happened. We haven't heard any word of him since. But my child is the double of his daddy and he reminds me very much of him and it breaks my heart he's not involved . I don't want my son to grow up not knowing his dad. A lot has changed between us since he said he wanted to be involved and he might turn me away if I tell him about his child but at least I told him and got it off my chest. Should I inform him and his family about the baby, or grow up never letting them know?
