not pregnancy related but its bothering me

Ok so I am a young mom I'm 20 with my baby due in november. And as a child growing up I had daddy issues with my biological father. He once told me that I'M was a mistake while he was drunk, and then again while sober so I go by drunkeb words are sober thoughts..  Now yes I have a step father but I have never refered to him as step dad he has always been daddy to me since I could first talk. Now I have always wanted that connection with my bio dad but it seemed like he never wanted it. When I was graduation high school he told me he wouldn't come because he didn't want to see me until I was 18 a month and a half after graduation
Well now that I am having a baby it seems like he all of a sudden wants to be there. I'm doing baby shower invatations and I called him for his address and what would normally be a week waiting for a return call he called me the same night. Now what is pissing me off is that he is trying to be there now that I'm having a baby bit not for when I was a child?  I'm not ok with that. I know it may be selfish of me to be this way but my daughter is not his 2nd chance. And its so frustraiting and hurtful... am I wrong to feel this way?

H*ll no girl! I'd tell him to start kickin rocks! I wouldnt let him in my baby's life! I am so sorry he was the way he was. But I wouldn't let him be a part of my child's life. Cause he could just walk out on the baby too!

I've only met my bio dad once I'm 24 he's never been a part of my life My dad (stepdad) has been there since I was 2 months old he's my dad father daddy cuz he's all I know, I met my bio dad when I was 16 saw him in person when I was 17 and my daughter was 4 months old he found out through myspace I was prego and he was pist off hella mad that i didn't tell him which I didn't feel the need I had too!!ll! After that first visit with him I deleted him on myspace blocked him on Facebook and have NO contact with him he doesn't know about this baby I'm carrying I honestly did NOT feel comfy with him hearing "I love you" from him made me feel disgusting, plus I felt like I disrespected the man who raised me because I did it behind his back, if your bio dad is acting like a jerk f*** him you already have a dad and that's all you need :)

I feel the same way towards my father I've had the same rocky past with my father he wanted to "take my womanhood" I have a lot of built up hate for the man however recently while trying to let him know he's going to be a grandpa I found out his health has went downhill and no one has talked to him in months .. it ***** but I wish he wouldn't have tried so late to be there for me.. I'm in the same boat.

No. He is your father and he didnt want to act like it. He shouldnt all of the sudden want to be in your life because you have a child on the way. i get he wants to help and be supportive but he shouldve thought about that before he blew you off as HIS daughter.
