Those are good comments. I wanted to add that, if you can, try not to take to heart any of the scary ugly things he says about what he will or won't do in the future. Let them roll off your back and take a wait-and-see attitude.

He may or may not do what he says. He is hurting you with these declarations, so protect yourself against them. You have no way of knowing how he will behave with his new baby. You only can stand up for yourself and your right to be treated with dignity and respect. You can state that you did not do this on purpose, and you can refuse to listen to further accusations. You should by all means be prepared to raise your baby the best you can without him. But when all the other personalities come into play besides yours and his, how he behaves may turn out much different than he planned. How will baby's sisters feel about him when he ignores baby? What will they say to him? How will he feel when baby kicks and coos and smiles and toddles and rides a bike? These are things the future will take care of. Please don't worry...don't borrow trouble from the future.
