Since I told my dad im pregnant we havent spoke he said he dosnt want me talking to him, well today I had sent him a happy fathers day message, hoping he'd reply but he didnt. I live with my mom and little brother, so when he came to pick him up, I'd think he would want to pick me up to but he didnt. Now im home alone sad because my dad wants nothing to do with me, Im just feeling depressed. I would LOVE to spend today with him but thats not happening

give him time.  even if it takes a long time.  are you planning on keeping the baby?

I agree with SM,  and think also your dad may be trying to impress very strongly on your little brother to NOT do this when he's a teenager.  

This is a lot for most parents to handle, (although some parents don't have other expectation of their teenage children) and it will take some processing time for your father.

Agree 100% with SM.

It is a lot to accept; your 16 year old daughter pregnant.  That isn't something that most fathers want to hear.

Give him some time to come to terms with this.

I think you are putting too much pressure on this as a day you have to be with your dad because it is father's day.  The bigger picture is that your relationship with your dad is at a low point.  Focus on the big picture and what you can do about that on your end (and can't do).

So, make your plans regarding the pregnancy.  Adoption is a wonderful option for a teen mom and perhaps you've considered this.  It's really a win win for everyone.  a child who is pregnant does not have to enter into a responsibility that they aren't ready for.  And a couple is gets to have a baby that they long for to love and raise.  So, perhaps you've talked about this with your mom and you could share that with your dad.  If you've decided already to keep the baby, well.   You must get a plan in place.  Nothing makes you grow up faster than having a baby.  It's a 24/7 commitment.  You, of course, need to continue school as well and maybe a part time job to help pay for expenses (as having a baby does force you into being an adult with adult responsibilities) but you'll need child care set up and what not.

The reason why I'm talking about this is because these are the things your dad is going to want to know.  That you are maturely thinking about things.

I don't think it is right for a parent to walk away from their child!  And hopefully, he'll resolve his feelings and come to terms with this.  But doing that is about fixing long term issues in your relationship verses the one day of father's day.  

I would stay patient and give him a little space.  Try to talk to him in a week.  In the mean time, get a plan in place for the pregnancy so that you can discuss with him your plans.  And then he will see you are trying to the right thing and get your life together.  peace and luck

This is to be expected. He's very disappointed. Hell im 22 & had the same reaction from my mom when I told her. Even though i was living on my own. He'll come around but its just hard to grasp bc your not his little girl anymore

I was 16 to and my dad and sibling said crazy thing but after my son was born they were changing diapers kissing him holding him saying he was soooo cute lol

[jasmine5725]

Im only 16.

[wife_and_mama2014]

Wow, I'm sorry. That's not right. How old are you?? He will come around. Don't worry.

It's alright, don't feel sad. Parents, as hard as they can be make mistakes to. The way he's treating you Is wrong but he will come around. I was 14 when I had my first and my mom said some pretty hurtful things that she can't take back, but I forgave her. Things do get better.
