SUBJECT: Jusy asking for a little advice, please.....
I found out that I might be pregnant 2 weeks before V-day. I told my boyfriend's mom ( I was living with my boyfriend nextdoor to his mom) and we went and got a home test. I did the test at her house because he was having a party and I didn't want anyone to know. She had said not to tell anyone. The test messed up and I thought I had to do a new one. Well, I came back a while later after I told her what had happened and the test had come out positive. I didn't know what to do. So I acted like nothing had changed. V-day came around and I was trying to figure out a way to tell my boyfriend ( we had only been dating for 2 1/2 months). I was terrified. He had a temper and already had one son who will be 3 this summer, from another girl I went to high school with. I procrastinated so badly that I never got to tell him. We went to a party at a friends house down the street and he sent the neighbor girl out to tell me he didn't want to be with me any more. He couldn't even tell me him self, he was really drunk. Well, skipping a bunch of the bologna that happend after that. I left the next day. My step mo and I went to get another test to make sure. It DEFINATLY was posative. I called his mom and she want over and tried to talk with him, but he froze up.
I am now 4 1/2 months and we have only talked once. And all he had to say to me was "Why didn't you get an abortion?" Like it was all my fault. I was supposed to be going to collage right now. Not that I will ever regret my baby, but I didn't plan this. I have seen him many times since then and he has said a few things in passing, as if we were strangers or something. I have less than 5 months until this baby is born and I don't know what to do or how to get him to talk to me. I want to know if he is at least going to be some sort of Dad. After all I didn't do this by my self right?!
I guess what I would like is for someone to tell me what they think I sould do. Instead of patronizing me for the mistakes I have made. I know I messed up, but I am paying for it not anyone else. Please, someone tell me something.....
