Single mom heartaches
When I found out I was pregnant I had decided to end the relationship I was in with the father of my child. I did this because the relationship is toxic and I felt it was the best choice. The father and myself sat down this evening to have a discussion and it went pretty much how I thought it was going to go. He became defensive and started to say things that weren't very kind. I told him that I'm moving out of the city that he lives in and moving to a city that could benefit me and my baby. He wants a paternity test done when the babies born and I told him that he has to wait until about six months after birth and he started talking about getting a lawyer and he can do it before then and just becoming really aggressive. I sought legal guidance early on and I know that if I don't put him on the birth certificate then he can't do anything until after six months but I worry if I actually do that it will infuriate him and he will do the court situation and I have a fear that they will deem me incapable of taking care of my own child and my child will be taken away from me.
I never wanted this experience to happen between the two of us and nor did I ever want to make him feel disrespected or unheard or not allowed to be a part of anything there's just so many aspects to the father of my child that are unhealthy and talking about coparenting I know he has a different way than I do and I know that he won't respect what I would like to do for my child and how I would like to raise him he will raise him in the way that he wants to and I realize that this is a common problem between lots of coparenting families. I just don't know how I'm going to be able to do this.
