My dad is a prick
This is gonna be long but I need to vent!
I told my dad I was pregnant when I was 4 weeks, his reaction was to tell me and my fiancé to get out the house (only I lived here he just came with me to tell my dad)
2 weeks later I couldn't take my dad not speaking to me and avoiding me after I came back to the house so I packed up all my stuff and left to move in permanently with my partner and his loving accepting family.
I'm now 7 months pregnant and have seen my dad 5 times or less in those last 7 month, his fiancée has been telling people I'm a 'silly girl that's gonna learn my lesson'
I've heard off other people that they've been saying they are prepared to pick up the pieces when it all goes wrong....they have not ONCE asked me how I am, asked about my pregnancy or checked on me in that time. When I told him I had moved house he shrugged at me.
On the occasions I have seen him it's because I have arranged it to try and keep the peace.
I'm sick of the rest of my family telling me "he will come around" I don't wanna hear that, and genuinely believe it's too little too late if he ever does.
My partner and his dad have tried speaking to my dad but he put his hand up in their faces and refused to speak to them.
He's made up rumours that my partner is a cheat and a woman beater and spread those rumours round the bars my partner and his family drink in.
My family always say dad doesn't let them ask about me or if they ask how I am he just ignore them.
He recently asked me if I still wanted to be a bridesmaid for his wedding in may, which is just over 1 month after I'm due. I said 'thanks for asking but don't think it's a good idea' seeing as the two of them clearly don't give a shit, why would I wanna be a bridesmaid for 2 people who never check up on their daughter and make up rumours about me and my husband to be?
His response to me declining the bridesmaid offer was 'nice 250 we've wasted then'
I don't even know anymore.
My partner and I are now renting our own house, and I'm due at the end of march.
My fiancé is really angry about how we've been treated, and I've countlessly told him to just leave it.
Honestly it's really getting to me, it plays on my mind every day, and often reduces me to tears. I feel completely disowned by my own dad, and he's made it very clear he doesn't want anything to do with his grandson, I text him telling him I was having a boy and his reply was '...'
I'm so fucking sick of it :(
