I have a 3 year old who I've single parented from day dot nearly. His dad is extremely volatile towards me.
I've recently found out I'm pregnant (with another man), but when I told him I got nothing no response just straight up ignorance.
I'm at a loss, I guess I never expected much from him, but he's completely ignoring me and it hurts.
I've had to go off my citalopram and I'm not sure how I'm going to cope with any of it.
Abortion isn't an option not for me. I've lost one baby to pre-term labour I don't think I'd be able to cope emotionally.
Not sure what I'm looking for really. Advice? Reassurances?

What a lot to have on your plate! Have strength mumma bear. You've raised a 3 year old by yourself, you can handle this.
Have you had a chat to your doctor about going off the citalopram? There are antidepressants that you can take while pregnant. I'm a little concerned if you have stopped taking them cold turkey. I remember coming off antidepressants and even with slowly reducing the dosage there was a great amount of anxiety over how I would cope.
Try and surround yourself with positive people, don't be afraid to ask for help, you can do this x
Don't be down!! I'd love another baby! I raised my 6 yr old on my own and I'm considering getting a sperm donor so I can have another. Seriously don't let society's ideals get in the way of you and your babies happiness. enjoy your new baby.
