I am sorry to hear that you went through such a terrible experience. But,pls don't let this experience taint your perception of other men. There is one good gu out there who will treat you 10 times better that that jerk!! Surround yourself with positive people and things! Always treat people with kindness even when fondness isn't in our hearts for them,'cause what goes around eventually comes back around!! Go after him legally for any kind of financial support for you and your child. Make sure you have a really good male role model for your kid to help him,or her develop a healthy perception and trust in good men. Look for someone you can trust to provide your child with a good male role model Next,read up on credible schools to see if they offer distance education to help give u the knowledge and skills needed to help both u and your child get ahead financially in this world!! I will pray for Mr.Right for you,but meanwhile,I say just concentrate on pouring your time and focus on positive things to help you and your baby!! Good luck and never give up no matter how hard things get!! Prepare for today,so you can get ahead tommorow!!
