I don’t know how to cope with this

I know nobody will really have an answer but I am so low. Ex went off the rails in my pregnancy, not coping well, disappearing for nights at a time etc, lots of silent treatment, snappy remarks, all alongside talking about our future and getting a bigger place for us with the baby and that he ‘only wanted me for life’ etc. It was the most confusing and horrible time of my life and I didn’t react well to it. He didn’t come to the birth and didn’t ask to see our daughter after she was born (first week of Dec). I applied for maintenance in January and he asked to do dna test, I agreed, took our daughter and now 4 weeks later he’s told cms he’s booked the appointment on three occasions and hadn’t actually attended. They said they will progress ‘soon’ if he doesn’t attend but for now it’s on hold. I don’t understand why he would ask for a test and not do it. He never struck me as someone who was intentionally cruel but if he is unsure our daughter is his then why would he want to delay finding out? I’m really struggling mentally with it all, I feel totally battered and crushed and stressed also about money. He now owes 780 in arrears so he will understand he can’t run away from it forever. I just feel so low.

I wonder if he asked for the test thinking you would not go through with it. Now you have gone through with it, it has called his bluff, and now he is stalling.
