What does she mean

Hi all,
So currently pregnant with my first baby, father has decided to run away. Tried contacting him and his parents to inform them when the baby is due and what I'm having and that I'm happy to take a DNA test (which is usually required when a guy doesn't want to stand up to his responsibility) but also to say its not fair that the child will not get to know his father and grandparents.
No reply from him but his mum replied saying "I will be in touch"
What does she mean by that?
Does she mean that she will contact me when the child is born for the DNA test?
Maybe I'm over thinking it but I've had no help or support from their side of the family so far and I mean nothing.

Thanks in advance

@PinkHeart5914
Thank you for your response. I don't really want don't expect anything from her. She wasn't the one that got me pregnant and of course I get that she will side with her son.
All I wanted to know was what she meant by what she sent.
I would have liked some support for the rest of the pregnancy but it's something I'm not going to get and unfortunately my family lives miles away and they live closer but again I'm not expecting anything because right now I get that to them I'm just some random woman saying that I'm pregnant with their son's baby.
I'll send the last message when he's here and that will be it.

Keemora, it's not about judgement. It's about using [or not] your thinking ability to determine your future. And if no one thought about using contraception at the time, I guess it's a bit unreasonable to expect other people (like the mother of bf here) to get interested in your family.

In my experience when ds' father finally owned up to his dm, she didn't want to know immediately as her sister was dying. You don't know what else they may have going on.

Also; defo no father on the birth certificate and try not to waste your energy on his side of the family when your baby's here. They will or will not, there is no try ;)
