Hi all,

I am new here so if this is the wrong place to post please feel free to move. I also apologise in advance about how this post is going to be.

So first off a little about me. I am 29, 30 in a couple of months and 12 weeks pregnant today. And I sure do not know what to do for the best.

So I have been with this man for just over 13 yrs. We have previously spoken about marraige and children but he wont even live with me right now. To top it off I found out a little while ago that he was with another woman, we will call her C, the same time he was supposed to be with me, to add to this he has had to kids with her. He didnt have the guts to tell me, I found out through his family. To say I feel angry, hurt and upset is a complete understatement.

I have had enough of him not bothering with our relationship so told him this on Friday evening after my scan via text as he was supposed to come over but didnt show at which point I got a load of messages back blaming everyone else but himself for what he is going through. He seems to think that he is the only one on this planet having to work a full time job, having other things goingin his family etc and dealing with general life to life crap. I have replied today to say that he will need to let me know when he has a definitive answer as to what he wants from this relationship because I am no longer putting up with this. I doubt I will get this. Btw he does not know i am pregnant yet and nor do I want him to know until I am ready to tell him.

Previously I fell pregnant and he forced me to have an abortion. When I told him about this first pregnancy he flew off the handle and gave me such a telling off about this being all my fault and I would be a bad and useless mother and I am a b for this happening to him. By this point he had his two little brats with C and I highly doubt he spoke to her like that or forced her to have an abortion.

C has openly admitted that she wishes she had never had her kids and she is no way a good parent. She doesnt do the basics with them, take care of them when they are sick and just constantly shouts at them. I have known C a long time, before she had her brats, knew what she was like then and so I know along with other facts that she is not a good parent in the slightest.

I do not know how to feel about this pregnancy. part of me really wants to be a mum and I know I would be a good one at that but I also do not want my baby to be related to said brats in any way, shape or form. I also do not want them knowing about my baby. Quite frankly if the man in question wanted anything to do with this child then it would be supervised access only so I know that baby is not having anything to do with them or C which I know they would. I am not interested in his money, I would rather do this alone but I can see him insisting he gets his way in every aspect of this.

To top this off I dont want to be giving birth where I have been refered to which is my only option, I do not drive and this is the closest hospital/unit within an hour of where I live, as I know this is where C gave birth and it more then turns my stomach.

I really do not know how to feel about this pregancy and what i should do. I have been in tears most of the day trying my best to figure out what to do so any insight would be great.

If you got this far reading then thanks xx

This is going well.

How would you feel if someone called your child a brat?

I think best all round if you have a termination. The baby doesn't deserve parents like this.

OP - you've had a 'relationship' with this guy for 16 years? And in that time he has had two children (not brats, it's not their fault) with another woman? And you didn't know this?

You haven't had a relationship with him. You were a shag, nothing more. And now you are bringing another innocent child into this, but don't want to acknowledge his part of it?

You can move far far away, never come back. Don't put him on the Birth Cert, never tell anyone who knows you about the baby. You can do that.

Or you can still be a single mother, with the father having access if he wants. You can't demand he steps up, you can't demand supervised access. What he does is, unfortuantely, up to him.

What you can do, though, is get financial support from him.
