trying to be strong for us both

(I just want to vent) 
Its been four weeks. Four weeks since I last spoke to the man I was with for a year and a half. My abuser, my unborn child's father. Ive finally stopped crying, and I've come to accept that I am and will continue to be a single mother to this child. I've got a long road ahead of me, custody included. He hasn't asked how the baby is progressing or if there's anything that can be provided for the baby. Not even a simple "I would like to attend dr appointments or be updated on them" the pain of his lack of interest is finally subsiding even though he's now telling people "he doesn't know who the father is." I feel like it's his way to proceed being a shitty person and pretend not to be the father so he can continue not having to take responsibility or show any concern. It's sad to me how anyone can just abandon a child.  It's beyond words for me to explain how it feels to know the father of your child will never amount to anything they will need. It's not going to be easy but I've accepted that I can and I will be strong for this baby.
