 I'm sorry to tell you but your boyfriend is a looser. He's acting like he's one of the kids, not the father.
I can not even begin to imagine how hard it is for you to have taken care of and love his other child, but there will be a time where you will discover that you have to TAKE care of YOU. He is already using you ( and the child) so I can't see why he wouldn't continue.
What you could do is tell him that you will continue to help watch the child ( if you are up for it) but on your terms. If he can not abide to that then I'm sorry HE is the one hurting the child NOT you.
He will not stop cheating. You can not cure a liar. He assume that you as a mother will do ANYTHING to help the kids, including accept that he treats you like a doormat.
How do you see yourself in maybe 5 years? Taking care of another one of his kids by another baby-momma?
If the two of you can't figure out how to have a relationship with mutual love, trust and respect what do you have?
You are only 22.

first of all your boyfriend is no good, hes a horrible lazy man. get rid of him be a strong independent mother and give him the choice i know you still feel attatched to his child but sit down and have a talk about it, work out days in which you or him can visit the child. This relationship isn't working and its unfair to put so much pressure on you at this time in your life. You would be much happier being a single mother than shacked up with a man who shows you no respect at all. be with a man that worships you, but first concentrate on getting to love yourself and love your children. You sound like your doing all the work anyway, don't let yourself be walked all over kick him out.
goodluck xxx
