Ready for a shitshow? šŸ˜… tw: sa, self harm threats. TLDR at the end.

In late 2022, I separated from my fiancĆ© bc things got ugly. I reconnected with an old friend and we ended up hooking up a few times. I ended up taking plan b at one point, but this idiot didnā€™t listen to me or give me warning and still finished inside about a week after I took it. I couldnā€™t take another bc thatā€™s not how it works. I ended up pregnant.

things turned ugly with my friend immediately. He had a melt down when I told him, claiming he was shitting blood, unable to eat, couldnā€™t sleep, etc. He really tried pushing for me to abort. He even went as far as comparing me to a girl who SAā€™d him bc in passing Iā€˜d said Iā€™d get an abortion if anything happened, but couldnā€™t bring myself to once I found out I actually was pregnant. The entire time I was telling him Iā€™d raise the kid on my own and wouldnā€™t push for child support or anything bc I knew he didnā€™t want kids. I wasnā€™t even being a vicious ā€œbaby mama.ā€

Things escalated to a fight one night where he (over 6ft) followed me (5ft) around the house yelling that heā€™d do what he wants bc Iā€™m ā€œcarrying his child.ā€ I kicked him out of my house and have barely spoken to him since.

Fast forward, Iā€™m 12 weeks pregnant. Itā€™s been hard & I lost my job from being so sick and placed on bedrest. I find out from an attorney that bc I receive medical assistance, my friend will be required by the state to pay child support even if I donā€™t want it. I give my friend a heads up. He doesnā€™t take it well, but I ignore him. Fast forward again to last night, Iā€™m 16 weeks pregnant. He messaged me asking what would happen if he ā€œwasnā€™t aroundā€ to pay child support and if Iā€™d still get assistance then. Hinting that he wants to end his life.

I reach out to his friend to support him bc I donā€™t have the capacity to & they tell me that heā€™s struggling bc he doesnā€™t want to pay child support and they genuinely believe heā€™s going to unalive himself bc of it. Basically making it seem like itā€™s my fault. I donā€™t really know what to do or what to think. I feel like a monster, but Iā€™m also soo angry bc it feels like another tactic to try to guilt me for my choice to keep the baby.

TLDR: I got knocked up by a friend whoā€™s spiraling bc I wonā€™t abort & now heā€™s threatening self harm bc the state will require him to pay child support.

I have blocked him now. I donā€™t consider him a friend anymore but for the sake of the post and being able to follow who I was talking about I just kept saying friend.
