Hi TravelGirl,
If the father of your baby doesn't want to marry you, you must still take care of his responsibility to your daughter. Go file for child support. If he denies the baby is his, go to court and file a petition for a maturnity test. Being a parent is the most important job in the world. It depends on what you mean by "hard". Being solely responsible for the well being, of another human being is challenging but so is anything in life worthwhile. You will do fine as a sinlge mom, all your child wants and need is love, your presence, and a fair start at life. Yes, having two parents would be ideal but if that is to be for now, surround your baby with relatives, friends that will help make her life good. Unfornately, your fiance mother wasn't losing a son, she was gaining a daughter and a grandchild. I pray she will get over her insecuritis and embrace the gift of you and her grandchild.
God Bless Dear,
Faded Rose
