divorce and hospital visit
My husband and i are going through a divorce.. im due in 3 weeks. My family is furious with him for what he has put me and our 6 yr old through. He called me today asking when the baby is born if he could come see her. I told him i would let him know when my family leaves the hospital.. if he shows up with my family there it wont be pretty. He is furious with me that i wont let him in the delivery room. He drained our checking and savings.. living with another woman.. hasnt given us a dime ..doesnt make effort to see his child now. Its a big mess he thinks he has done no wrong and expects me to cater to him! Am i being wrong for not wanting him there when i give birth?
I wouldn't let him in there either I agree with you on not letting him in the room
Katie....everyone said it.....but u are DEFINITELY not in the wrong. I agree that I wouldn't even let him in the hospital and bid get a court order before I let that A** around my children.
Thank you all for the encouraging words. I dont wish this situation on anyone.
Take him for child support..and set supervised visitation.. He will see the baby then..other than that it sounds like his own personal problem.
Heck no your not wrong!! If he can't support you and your child that you already have now what makes the difference when this baby comes out?!? Your family are 100% right for being and acting the way they are with him, you are their main priority right now and so is your 6 year old!! If if were my husband there would be no way I would call him and tell him! I'm so sorry Hun that your going through this but stick to your family who are there for you!!
Not in the wrong. He is definitely in the wrong and I would not let him there at all. Tell him the baby was born once you leave the hospital.
Your about to have a baby and he drained your bank account! Yeah... your not in the wrong. I hope your family stays with your the whole time your in the hospital.
Honestly I wouldn't even let him come to the hospital!!! I would make him wait until you feel comfortable enough and settled in at home!!! You definitely don't need that extra stress or drama while in the hospital!!
I would want him to stay out. Why let him turn a positive experience into a negative? He made his bed,now let him lay in it!
Uchhh..sorry he reminds me of my friends ex husband..he has always acted like he did nothing wrong by walking out on his wife of 7years, daughter and baby and moving in with another woman..hunni you put yourself first..he has no right to demand to be there when the babies born or in the hospital after..especially after putting you through this at an emotional time anyway..keep being strong..:)
I don't think you are wrong in not letting him in there. You don't need any added stress to that day. If he wanted to be there he should never have left in the first place. I hope the two of you find a balance that works. Stay strong mama!
No. You don't need that kind of stress with you in the hospital room.
No! Wow, no offense, but he sounds like a total jerk***. Anyone that does that to someone is totally in the wrong and you are making the right decision. Stay strong and follow your family's advice they sound like they are on the right track! Take care of yourself, your kiddo and your unborn child. Stay strong and good luck!!!
