He Left Me Pregnant—Now He Wants the Baby?! 😱💔

One rainy morning in our small Chicago apartment, my life flipped upside down. My husband left me when I was 24 weeks pregnant with our second child, saying he "needed space." I was suddenly alone, juggling a toddler and a newborn, feeling like I was drowning in loneliness and exhaustion. Now, out of nowhere, he wants to play the perfect dad—but only to our baby. He ignores me completely, acting like I’m just the babysitter, and even insists I stop breastfeeding so he can take the baby whenever he pleases. It’s like I don’t even exist to him anymore, and I’m torn between protecting my daughter and not letting him dictate my life. With no family nearby and just a couple of friends to lean on, I feel lost and overwhelmed. Has anyone else tried to co-parent with someone who treats you like you’re invisible? How did you handle the stress and constant demands? I’d love to hear your stories or advice—I really need a friend right now. 💬 #coparenting #singlemom #familystruggles #FamilyRelationships
