Hi, Laurel! I am VERY glad you came!
I get the impression that bipolar problems surface when things get really tough and a person can't cope anymore. I have had some indirect experience with this.
You are bonded to your baby's father because you had sex with him. This arouses emotions in a woman that come from hormones from the activity. It is normal and natural for you to want your baby's father to be there and be a good father. It is likewise normal and natural for you to want to be a family.
Please go to a crisis pregnancy agency and get some counseling, and some help with your material needs. You are entitled to experience joy in your baby, and the current circumstances are robbing you of that joy.
Other than that, be patient. Try not to get too emotionally involved with the father. If he wants to shop with you, I agree I don't see any harm in it, but be careful because if he swings the other way, it can drag you down. Be prepared to distance yourself from him when this happens, for the sake of both of you. Encourage him to seek help.
We will be here for you!
Hugs,
Pat
