Saddest day ever

My beautiful baby boy was born 9/3 via c section. He is a miracle baby. I was high risk and had a difficult pregnancy. The doctors didnt think he would make it and he entered the world at 7lbs 11oz. My ex was there for delivery but today packed his bags and said he is happy for me and he can tell I love the baby but since I put my last name on the birth certificate he would not be involved in our sons life. My little baby was bonding with dad and I want more than anything for them to have a relationship. He refused to sign the birth certificate & sent me a text that he wished me and the baby well. He left me in the hospital struggling to recover from the c section alone. I'm not sad for me I love him but I know ill be okay. I'm sad for our son. I am sad our son won't have a father and that he doesn't love this precious baby boy. I'm sad that my son won't know his father when we live in the same town but his father wants nothing to do with him. I'm sorry this is long but I needed to vent.

    What an asshole.  :(  What would it matter if the baby had his last name or not if he is your ex?

    Did you tell him this is exactly WHY the baby doesn't have his last name? That if he is a consistent part of baby's life the two of you could talk about it more later? Sounds like an excuse to me. I'd have done what you did. You can always hyphenate it later if its that important to him and you don't need him to sign the birth certificate to prove he's dad. CSE will do that with DNA when they set up child support. What a child. Your son deserves better.

    Fathering a child and being a dad are 2 very different things. This man has fathered a child and walked out. He is not a Dad, just a useless genetic donor... kinda like my DS's sperm donor. Don't worry about him, focus on your precious baby boy and eventually someone will come along who is eager to fill the position of "Dad" for your son.
