Could I have a private post please?

I found out i was pregnant in a new relationship, my (now ex) partner ran hot & cold with me for weeks, he’d tell me he was happy & we were going ro be a family then tried to force me to abort our baby! Had a date booked for the procedure even as he cornered me into it, I’d started to resent him really badly, 4 days before the procedure I told him I couldn’t abort our baby, I loved him with all my heart but no way could I do that, he said we’d be ok but that weekend he’d forced me to leave knowing I had nowhere to go 😢 few weeks later I found out he’d got back with his ex & he wanted nothing to do with me or the baby 😢
I wasn’t going to ask him for child support, I wanted a dad not his money but I’ve had to pull myself up from the floor he left me on & my family are saying he should definitely help me pay for my son whether he wants to or not, I don’t know what to do? I know I chose to have this baby alone (he’s due to be born in September) but should I make the father pay?
He led me to believe we were going to be happy, raise our baby together and everything was ok then he basically left me to it once I got pregnant.
He asked me not to go back on contraception too as he’d wanted to be a dad so he wasn’t trapped into this pregnancy at all.
I feel a bit lost, I’ve been through a lot the last 5 months, had to go into temporary accommodation as he’d kicked me out pregnant, lived in an awful place and been through the stress of wondering where I was going to live with my baby while he’s been swanning around with his new/old girlfriend.
I’m settled now as just moved into my new place a few days ago but it’s likely that I’m going to have to leave my job as I have no one available to help look after my baby.
Do i make him pay for our child through CMS or do I struggle alone & have nothing to thank him for?
Looking for opinions not judgement please, I’ve worked hard all my life since the age of 18, I’m now 35

Thank you x
