I recently met someone who I found interesting and wonderful. However, after a short relationship of a couple months he dumped me for unknown reasons. I am pregnant with his child and he wants nothing to do with me or the baby.
I am not writing to shed tears or seek pity but rather the opposite. Since I have decided to keep this baby no matter what and do this alone, I wanted to say a few things.
I have read posts here of women wondering how they can manage this alone and all the fears that go along with this...well..... we can do it alone and we have been for centuries. We are not allowed to be weak because of some man who IS just that. Weak and cowardly. There are always people we can find to help us and to support us.
No..we dont have the dream of the relationship and happy family BUT we have ourselves and a wonderful baby to look forward to.
This will be my second child, as my first one is 10 years old. I just want to say to everyone in the same situation to keep your chin up and never lose your self-respect or courage to be the best mom you can be. Seek out help from counselors or self-help books or make friends in places like these! Immerse yourself in your hobbies and focus on positive things.......
I welcome contact from anyone that wants to chat about this or needs a shoulder, god only knows that I will need one too
Thanks for listening
Jennifer
