I never thought I would be in this position but
I should have known. I'm devastated and I feel very stupid. My child's father moved in with us and he's been apart of her life for two years. He was there through the pregnancy and there for the birth and throughout the two years of her life. He has recently been struggling and although we weren't "officially together" we confided in eachother, raised our baby together. Slept together, and I did everything for him. He moved out of my house after I took him in after he got evicted from his place. I gave him money and got him to work. I took care of him bc we were a family and that's what you are suppose to do. Our situation has been rocky and hard. But we always were strong when it came to parenting and being there for eachother. He got another girl pregnant when my daughter was a few months old and his son will be one soon. It was hard for our relationship but I encouraged him to be apart of his sons life. He made tons of excuses up as to why he couldn't be there when his son was born. I offered to drive him there I helped pay for an attorney for his child support stuff. I did everything I could to encourage getting custody and being the parent he is to our daughter to his son. He made it seem as if his sons mom was making it impossible to see him.
Anyway... he moved out of my place and hasn't seen us in over a month. He left me with his dogs and an apartment full of his stuff to go live with another girl. He claimed he wanted to stay there because we had been fighting and that was his best friend but he started to slowly not come around. She started to post how she's in love with him and how that's her man. He refuses to admit it to me but they live together and she's pretty clear about the fact that they are Fucking which is crazy bc I knew her and she knew him and I were orettt much together. She saw us act as a couple and was around my daughter.
My heart hurts bc he chose her over being a dad and I should have known he was a shit dad when he didn't show up for his son (I talked to the other baby mama for 2hrs the other day and she told me she was trying to get him to see his son and a bunch of shit I had no idea about)
I've always been aware that if he met someone and decided to start a relationship than so be it. We made such a strong parenting bond that I thought nothing could get in the way of his obligations as a dad. I have no financial support and no support with her anymore and it is so hard I'm so disappointed.
I don't understand how you could walk out like that. He tries texting me all the time to maintain some virtual role in my life and he refuses to admit he has a new woman. My daughter asks for her dad all the time and cries and begs me to put her shoes on so she can go see him. I don't want him to hurt her like this.
I've tried inviting him to her music classes and meeting at parks so he can spend time with her and he refuses to come this way and makes excuse after excuse butit seems obvious to me... he's with the girl and focusing on that.
What should I do? I don't want to keep him from her but the inconsistency is effecting my child's heart too and that kills me. The other baby mom says she's glad he's not apart of his life because he doesn't know better and doesn't miss him or think anything is off. But my child has had her dad her whole life and is very confused. What do I do? I don't want him coming in and out :(
