long distance thing

reading ppls post makes me feel lucky. i currently live in texas my significant other lives in Illinois. We have been living indifferent states for 5 months. we have been apart this whole pregnancy but still talk every day throughout the day. He is very supportiveand does what he can to be involved being so far away. I see people complain everyday about how that they're getting treated bad or how they think they're getting cheated on. I'm just happy that I'm with somebody I can trust someone I don't call my baby daddy and someone that can be so supportive and be so far away.this is my second pregnancy but it's by far the hardest one and he only does he can to make me feel betterand keep me positive. This is our first baby together he stepped up and was a father to my daughter since she was two and a half. he's never once complained about taking care of someone else's child, to him that is his child 2 so I guess I want to say I'm very blessed to have a loving supportive man in my life who  still shows me so much love and support from so far away..

I feel the same way. I get so broken hearted for the mommy's who are being neglected or mistreated. I know how it feels. With my first pregnancy I was 16 and my baby dad was a drug addict, I was so young and naive, he would fall asleep with me than wait til I was asleep then leave in the middle of the night, I would wake up looking for him, I would walk through the desert to circle k pregnant and they would say he left in a taxi, I was living at his moms, he would be gone for days or even weeks I had no clue what was happening and his family kept secrets from me and wouldn't tell me where he was, I would finally pack my things and go back home, he would finally call me and I was dumb enough to forgive him over and over. He was there when I had my son but then left for a long time, I got so stressed out so I finally went to his mom and refused to leave until she told me what was happening that's when I learned the reason he was leaving was cuz he was a heroin/crack addict. I went through hell with him and when my son started walking was when I decided I was done so I finally left him for good. Later when my son was 6 I met Danny he's now my husband he helped me raise my son who is now 18, Danny and I didn't plan on having children it just happened I'm now almost 24weeks and I've got to say that I also am very blessed. Danny always puts us first always has. He goes above and beyond to make us happy and feel loved. He is a little younger than me and so responsible and mature. This time around will be different is different, I have him to help me and my baby will know his dad. I pray for the mommy's who are getting treated like crap and hope they realize how precious they are and how precious their children are and they decide to stand up for themselves and refuse to be treated like crap especially when they are pregnant. I always think about when I was 16 and pregnant so scared n lost going through so much and all I wanna do is hug myself and say you deserve so much more. I'm glad I am now getting the treatment I deserve.
