You cannot force someone to be part of someone else's life. I understand it is difficult, but sometimes even as adults, dads don't always want to be involved.

It will only be a matter of time before he is forced to pay child support. It is no longer a matter of wanting to or choosing to. If he is the father, he owes his child support and the state will see to it that he supports your son.

You aren't pushing him out, from the sounds of it. If he wished to have a relationship with his son, he should be welcomed to. But your parents are the ones being supportive of you and your son more than he is, from the sounds of it.

there situations that is thrown at us that we can not control. i m assuming that he is very young because you are 16 years old.
the best thing you can do is love your baby.
i was mentally and physically abused by my dad. so when i hear people say that they want theyre child's dad to be in there life. i've been through so much, where my mom's love was enough for me.
i am a single mother, my son is 13 years old. his father has been in and out his life. i ednured so much by him. and i did a good job with raising my son by myself.
some say a boy needs a man in his life. well i had a man in my life and i had to see a therapist and get on prozac to get rid of the damage he has done. but i understand their point.
take care of your baby, and not worry about his father.
