Dumped my boyfriend - reassurance needed!

My boyfriend and I fell pregnant after 6 months together - then my world came tumbling down! I found out he had been texting and secretly meeting up with another woman and when confronted showed no remorse - he told me I was f'ing stupid for getting pregnant - told me to terminate at 11 weeks and I couldn't. He distanced from me and seems so cold hearted about everything I felt forced to end things with him last night. I'm 20 weeks pregnant now and he attended no scans with me, he basically can't give me the emotional support I need and I can't trust him. I know I have done the right thing it just hurts because the man I thought I knew disappeared and I feel I am mourning what could have been. Oh, and when I broke up with him he just said nothing and acted like he wasn't bothered at all.
I am facing being a single parent and what to do about telling my child when the time is right about her dad? Do I put him on the birth certificate? I'm thinking no....

Sorry to hear what you're going through @Saraleast - do you have the support of friends and family? I know single mothers who provide an absolutely amazing home for their children. You can definitely do this. But I hope you have people who can be there when you need them.

Yes I have family support but not close to me, 2 hours drive away.

I moved home after something similar happened to me. It was very hard because I had been living in my new location for five years and built a whole life for myself but now I have had the baby I realise I couldn’t have coped away from home.
