Should I allow him to see the baby?
My boyfriend is a piece of shit. Always disappearing to go drink, or lying to me about drinking and who knows what else. Sometimes he’ll come home drunk and sometimes he just doesn’t show up at all. He ALWAYS tells me that he’s on his way home and then will just ghost. I’ve told him 100 times if he doesn’t stop drinking he won’t have access to our baby that’s due in 8 weeks. I refuse to subject a child to the instability. I give him chance after chance to do better. He’ll come home and everything is fine for a couple weeks then disappear out of no where. Then we fight, then I have to get over it because I need his help with the bills and baby that’s coming. I don’t have family or friends here.
He doesn’t help around the house, I have to nag him for weeks to get anything done, he never puts his phone down (even when with his other children.. drives me insane). I’m just tired of it all.
My question is, would you take away access to the child that’s on the way?
When he drinks nothing else is important, not my feelings, not my health (his disappearing is really stressful and being pregnant it’s not good), not his coming child, not money (he barely helps me with baby stuff but can go spend money on booze and probably drugs). I tell him he’s going to lose the opportunity to be a dad to this child and to be a family and he says I’m “threatening” him without just cause, that he never drinks and that he’ll take me to court. Ok 🙄 He will stand in my face barely able to speak and refuse to admit he’s been drinking.
