Ex blocked me and pregnant at 9 weeks

Hi, I'm looking for some advice. My boyfriend and I of 3 years broke up 9 weeks ago, but I'm 9 weeks pregnant. Our relationship was on/off, in which we had 2 previous break ups. However this one was more serious in that my ex was drinking a lot of alcohol and was cheating in the last 6 months of the relationship. Since finding out I'm pregnant, I've been accused of lying despite peeing on many pregnant tests for him and inviting him to doctors app (which he didn't turn up too). However, it's gotten worse in that when he found out I wasn't having an abortion he told me I was ruining his life. Since then, he has blocked me on all social media and my number. If I wanted to contact him, I could use email but he doesn't respond. At the moment I am currently living in his flat, but I am leaving in 3 weeks. However, he is not staying here but at his parents. I have contacted his mum with all this information, but his mum is quite a vicious woman and never had any relationship with me, even when I dated her son. So I don't think she wants her son to be involved anyway in this pregnancy. Should I give up and expect to raise this baby alone?

Blimey
The hills are that way >>>>>>>RUN
Forget about the flat, your possessions at his mum's and stop trying to contact any of them.

They will in no way positively influence or enrich yours or baby's life.

Can you move and stay with your folks for a bit?
I think the advice about moving away from ex's home town is good advice.

Oh, and congratulations btw Flowers

If I was going through with this pregnancy... I'd do it without him. He's got nothing useful to offer and I can't see him or his family being a positive influence in your child's life.

It will be better without him.

Although I'm sitting here watching secrets within the family and seeing some grown ups searching for a father they've never known their dad. These things have quite an impact on children as they go through life.

I’d be pretty sure that, even if HE doesn’t want to know, his parents will want to be involved.

As pp have said it’s your body, so your choice, but you’re inviting a lot of stress and hassle for the next 18+ years by going ahead with this pregnancy. Unless you’ve got really solid grounds (and can prove them) you’re not likely to be able to insist on supervised contact and what happens when he / they start pushing for overnights?

Wouldn’t it be better to have your first child with a supportive partner and paternal grandparents?

Get away from him, OP. Run and don't look back. You don't want an abusive man in your life.
