Q: Has Anyone Had a Baby's Father Walk Out On Them

Hello everyone,

i just had a argument with my soon to be baby father. When I told him I was pregnant he just laughed and was like I didnt have my priorites straight to have a child. I told him I was having this child with or without him. I dont feel like I should have a abortion kill this child just because he doesnt wont to take responsibility. I feel like this child deserves a chance. I will try my best to be a good mom when the child comes. I know it will be hard. I just wanted to know had anyone else been through this and how did they survive?

Thanks

chrystal

It May Be For the Better....
Hi,
I went through the same thing with my first baby.
During the pregnancy he walked in and out, and it hurt so bad.
Finally, I realized that my baby was much more important than that a**hole, and didn't take him back.
My son is now 2 1/2 and has only seen is dad once.
Everything worked out for the best, because now I am married to the best man ever and we have another child.
If he leaves now with the "thought" of a baby, he cant handle the reality of a baby. Think it through for the future.

Good luck.
Marissa

Im a Prime Example!!!
I had my babys daddy tell me to leave about 3 or 4 weeks ago and I havent talked to him since, I dont want to and I never will unless I have to go to court for custody, but ill win b/c he ahs homicide charges against him, anyways...Its the best thing ive done for my baby and me..... If they dont want to be a daddy screw them, there missing out on alot...I dont think of chris as a dad, hes just the sperm donor...

Yazmine,

i feel like I can raise this baby by myself. I dont feel adoption as an option either. So I will do it by myself plus I have family who will help me too.

Well
My friend was 15 when she had her daughter who is 2 now. The daddy stayed around for about 6 months and then... He beat my friend with their baby in her arms, so he went to jail and he's been in and out every since, but she has nothing to do with him and their daughter doesn't even know him which is for the best I promise. So yes, it may be hard but you can make it sweetie! You can! Wink

Dealing With It../
Hey hey


hey hun I am 35 weeks pregnant with my first.. And my babies father is not in the picture at all.. Not only did he walk out but he is going as far to say it is not his.. So now we have to get a dna test which is making everything alot harder.. I have freinds who have children and the childs fathers r not in the picture.. It makes it harder but you can get through.. Look at ppl now adays.. How many women raise children without the father. It can be done:d my mom for instance raised 2 kids on her own with no help from mine and my brothers father. Just remeber it can be done stay strong:d

Hey I didnt know all of you didnt have the dads there. Well maybe a few of you. Well I know you can do it on your own. It would probably be easier without the deadbeat there. My sister is doing it. The dad maybe has been there for 3 months out of the 13. And she doesnt need him. Maybe just child support. Which you should get if he doesnt want to be in the picture. Which is another thing. The less he sees your baby the more he has to pay! So take him for all his money! Have an uncle or something for a father figure. So a man will be there, not just a mom. Hope loves jose, the only father figure to her. She gives him kisses all the time. And she wont do it for anyone else! The monster! Lol. But you can do it.

Same Thing
Im 19 and Im going through the exact same thing now. I told the father that I was pregnant and he told me to go get rid of it. But why should i punish a child for my stupidity. He already have one child and says that he dont have time for another one. i am about 6 and a half weeks pregnant. Abortion did cross my mind until i knew it had a heart beat. I think i am going to keep the baby, and the father could go shove all of the crap he said up his a**. Im sure even with the baby i am still going to better off than he is, im in school and work and yes its going to be twice as hard with a baby, but this is life and i wont be the first woman to go through this.
