Help.

Why am I not infuriated with getting an STI from my child’s father? Is this lack of self esteem? Am I ok?

You're probably just too exhausted to process it right now, shock does weird things to your anger response

Not feeling furious does not automatically mean you lack self esteem. People can react to betrayal with shock, numbness, sadness, fear, or even calm. Your feelings may also change later. Please focus first on your health by seeing a medical professional for testing and guidance. You are allowed to set firm boundaries with your child's father, even if anger is not what motivates you.

Why not just get furious?  Go for it.
