Sorry about your troubles. I'm not sure counseling would help, in my estimation, as it rarely fixes character flaws.
I would recommend moving back with your parents and actively seeking child support. This way you are covered in case he never comes around.
Frankly, I have to say at this point you cannot worry about him - he's a big boy and he seems able to make sure he gets what he wants -- your baby must be your #1 now.
Waiting for him to "come around" will not work.



^Ditto.

Also, you didn't fail him. What do you owe him? Nothing. You are the one taking care of the baby. You are the one paying for the baby. What kind of father leaves his baby for DAYS and doesn't check in to make sure everything is OK?

I know this must be horrible for you. I know you must be terrified of moving on without him. But honestly it doesn't sound like you'll be losing much if you leave him.
