pregnant and alone

I am 36 and around 12 weeks pregnant. I am a single mother of a 10 year old son. The new baby's father is very immature and couldn't deal with my emotions, so he was yelling and swearing at me all the time on the phone. I told him he needed to stop and he said "this is who I am - you expect me to change?" He obviously doesn't get it. He lives out of state, but was going to be moving here in a month or so for me and the baby...that is obviously not going to happen. I haven't attached to the new baby yet and I did instantly when I was pregnant with my son. I don't know what to do...I don't want to do this by myself! Advice???

Wow, I'd say that this guy isn't a positive thing going in your life. You and your child just might be better off. Tell him he is only good for the child support now since he can't act like a man.

Just focus on your baby yourself and your son. If you make it quite clear that his behaviour is not acceptable by not letting him move in he will get the message. You don't want him to cause your family to live with domestic violence. Maybe you can be together but not live together. So that you can still get emotional support but without the pressure of living together this should minimise the violence. I finished with my daughters dad for violence and had to leave West London to get away. We didn't live together but he scared me and hit me when i was like 8 and a half months gone. They act all nice to get into your home then the violence starts as soon as you open the door. Be very carfull that he doesn't act a changed man to get to move in and then lets Mr Jackal out.
I am now with a loving supportive man who pays the rent and stuff and is excellent with my kids. Don't think about finding another man you may attract a man for the wrong reasons just focus on keeping well for your family. Pray. if you need to chat keep my name and contact me.


Good luck.
