writes: why does my ex and father of my baby mistreat me so much. my ex broke up with me in the last months of my pregnancy, and ever since then we've grown farther apart. now that our daughter is here i try to get along with him for the sake of my baby but he rejects every attempt i do and instead respond with an aggressive leave me alone i want nothing to do with you i hate you. and days later he tells me he feels bad bcuz hes a bad father. he used to help me out with money or at least with diapers but now i receive no help from him and he does not visit the baby bcuz he says he doesnt want to see me. he changed alot after he started a new job and met new people and started partying with them he now treats me like im trash and seems to have forgotten he has a baby. he might have a new girlfriend im not sure. i dont know whether to lose a good fight or not fight at all meaning try and try to make him see we can at least have a civil friendship as parents. idk if one day he'll regret pushing my daughter and myself away. any opinions or advice would help thanks and sorry for the length

I applaud you for being the better person here and thinking about your daughter even during this crappy situation. You can't make him want to see his daughter, he'll hopefully decide he wants to see her on his own. It's really the single mothers out there, but I know some extraordinary ones..who juggle it all. Since your ex can't seem to be civil or pay for diapers then it's time to take this guy to court for child support. Let the state go after this deadbeat dad for his lack of support in your daughter, it may encourage him to want to have a relationship for her. Ultimately I hope for the best for any single mother situation..U'll do a fine job with or without him!

You shouldn't have to have anything to do with this man. If he's pushing you away, you have all the right in the world to do the same. I don't think you really want that kind of a man in your daughter's life, he doesn't even sound like he WANTS to be a part of it, find a man who'll treat you both with the love you need and the love you deserve.
I hope that helps.
