Yes, and THAT is what you should focus on. Where you'll live with baby, how you'll support the two of you, and all that good planning stuff.  It will be okay.  And maybe he'll come around. I just wouldn't count on it and until then, you'll just be a strong woman that makes her own way and life for you and your child.  hugs.

Maybe make telling your parents your next step to see how they might help you even if it is just being emotionally supportive.  peace

Hi there.  Ahh, well.  I'm sorry that he didn't react very well and that he isn't in a place in life to be excited about a baby.  Are you excited?  

Because this will now come down to you and how you feel about it.  Focus on that.  Do you have much support in your life like parents or siblings?
