@leann.harris oh yeah! That would be incredibly exhausting to be the only one putting in all the effort while the other half isn't supportive or making life easier.

@noturprops, that’s pretty much how my ex is, he promised the world and ended up not being around. He is a good dad to our daughter and I know he will be one to our son, but the emotional support and mental support he promised me that I wish i could’ve gotten from him is nowhere to be found. I don’t want his money I just want his time and affection and that’s to much for him to supply . Like this weekend he’s already made a excuse on why he can’t go with our daughter and I to the zoo as a family . Like I try to do things for her to show her the family life and he doesn’t support it at all. It’s exhausting

@leann.harris Oh wow! That's terrible! I'm so sorry to hear that. My daughter was a surprise with my ex bf...we literally broke up, he made the comment, what if you're pregnant and the next day, surprise! He promised the world, wasn't there the whole pregnancy, but was able to harass me and make my life a living hell through technology. I had to make a difficult decision when I was going back to work. I had to ask him to watch her M-F so I could work because he doesn't work and he lives with his mom. It ended up him living with me during those days, things got so violent, and he harassed me all day at work saying he couldn't handle being there with her and I needed to leave work to come get her. I had my breaking point sitting at work and said I can't do this anymore, quit my job, kicked him out, enrolled in graduate school, lived on student loans and here I am today. He is fighting me in court now trying to get my daughter 50% of the time, won't pay child support. Scary note, I found out through court he is schziophrenic. We are battling his disability now. Sad stuff but explains alot of abuse It was definitely hard but things looked up for me, with my new pregnancy and husband and I know they will for you too! Hang in there!

@noturprops, the whole experience has been terrible , our daughter was a surprise and he was happy for about the first month of the pregnancy, but this baby we planned but as soon as we found out we were pregnant, he left and hasn’t really been around at all..... it’s been difficult emotionally and mentally this time around especially because I have had such a tough pregnancy .

Oh Hun, it isn't anything about you not being good enough. Sometimes, more like the majority of the time, MEN suck! I had to go through my first one alone and I prayed hard and now I'm going through my 2nd one with my husband who can be helpful at times but I find myself still lonely at times. You're not alone through these emotions or feelings.

I understand what you are going through and if you ever need someone to talk to please send me a message.

Idk you but I don't think it's you. I went through something similar and it makes you a better mother. Don't let anyone rob you of your joy just because they can't appreciate the gift growing inside of you! Your children are lucky to have at least one parent because their are many without any. I don't give my son the opportunity to miss the other parent because I do enough to cover both sides and more. And as far as feeling alone etc., your time will come. Don't go looking for love because it will find you when you stop. Message me if you want to talk

My daughter is 7 when I was pregnant with her me and her dad lost contact even when I was pregnant and she would kick I would tell him to touch my belly he would say no and rudely pull his hand away. I left him when I was 8 months pregnant. My daughter is seven years old he never showed up or asked if we needed help or even called he disappeared. I gave birth with my sister and mom in the room. It was hard I gave up then I moved in with a roommate and somehow he turned out to be a really good guy my daughter calls him daddy now and we are going to have another baby. I sometimes feel scared thinking it would get bad like the first time around but the one thing that kept me going was God I prayed and always had faith that unexpectedly got me where I am always trust God things will be supplied according to his glory

You do deserve to be happy. Even if it doesn't feel like it. You will find someone who will truly appreciate you, you just can't settle for anything less than you deserve, which is the hardest part 💖💙
