Disappointed

I hate to be Debby Downer. Especially as all of our due dates are approaching. I'm very thankful that my son is healthy and things are progressing well. However I'm disappointed in my sons father. He moved to Puerto Rico back in August and hasn't made any arrangements to come here to meet his newborn. He knew I was pregnant from the moment I found out, but still did not make any arrangements after all this time to be here. I could understand him not being here the exact day he's born, but at least a few days after. No.. He said he doesn't think he'll be here. But he'll be here in June to pick up his other kids for the summer. Am I wrong for being upset?

Re: Disappointed

  • There are no rules as to whether or not you are allowed to be upset or no.  That being said, no, you're not wrong for being so.  
    Unfortunately I think this is just an obvious observation that he doesn't want much involvement with his child.  I'm assuming you have no relationship with him?

  • No.. Not since he moved. Yeah it's become very clear that he doesn't want much involvement. Everything will be okay though. Thanks
  • Unfortunately if he isn't interested and hasn't been from the beginning it probably isn't going happen when your LO comes. You have every right to be upset with how this is turning out, and to be disappointed in his lack of paternal instinct. Just keep your chin up as best as you can. You've made it eight months now without this guy, and are accomplishing a pregnancy on your own, or at least without his support. That is truly amazing in my book.
