Ok so. I have no doubt who my babies dad is but when he was born he stormed out of the registrars office in a hissy fit so I didn't put him on the birth certificate. As he wasn't there to sign it. Now little one is 6 months old and dickhead sprung it on me that i make the appointment to add him to it. I don't want to do this as this gives him full parental rights... he can't even look after him without his mum being there. Even when he stays over his mum stays with him...he doesn't pay full maintenance. And I'm terrified that he'll get him one day and refuse to hand him back and in the UK if he's on the birth certificate there would be nothing I can do about it and yes this is the kind of thing he will do. I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. I've never denied him access he gets access 3 days per week 1 overnight stay. So apart from the not paying full maintenance he's got what he's entitled to...not having him on the birth certificate is sort of my insurance policy I'm not totally against him going on it. I just want to trust him 100%. I was also diagnosed with PND recently and I'm really possessive over my baby handing him to his dad or anyone but my mum kills me every single time. I haven't told a soul about my PND least of all him. But I'm thinking in order to justify my reasoning for not putting him on it yet I'm gonna have to tell him...I hate this man and making myself vulnerable in front of him is not easy.
