moving on...

I posted earlier so some of u might recognize me... How many of u girls are in this situation or know someone.. I'm really considering leaving my baby's father for drug and alcohol issues that have been a constant for four years. I mean I still want more children. Has anyone been able to move on and marry someone who makes them happy and have more children? I have a one year old that I'm raising on my own since dad has so many issues..

Im 6 weeks and my boyfriend the father left me the day I found out and two fays later wanted to come back but Ijust rrecently told him its done for good. Its too stressful and even though I grew up without a father I believe in my heart that us being apart is he best choice. My baby doesn't deserve us to fight all the time. He's still apart of the pregnancy so far but I'll see how long it lasts. If you feel you're better off for you and your baby then I say do it.

I dated the father for little over two years and decided when I was 2 months pregnant that being with him wouldn't be healthy for my child or me so I left him. It was a hard decision but as time went on I get better at accepting it because o know my son will be better off. I'm 39 weeks now and feel stronger with out than I did with him. I just have to think that one day I'll find a guy that will accept my child and want to have a family with me. All in time tho. Wish you the best!

I spent a year on just me and my family and ended up marring one of my best guy friends! Just focus on you and your baby! I know for me that he made me feel so bad about myself and i really had to take step back and figure out what was right for me! I have never been happier! I never regret leaving him i actually feel that going through that struggle made me so much stronger!

That is so relieving to hear that life isn't just going to suck after I move on for me and my son.

The way I look at it is never stay with someone it not happy with wether u have kids together or not. There r plenty of great men out there. Go with ur heart. It may take awhile but u will find someone that makes u and it kids happy.

I read your post earlier and i was in the same type of relationship for four years. I left him and now i am happily married and expecting! It was the best thing i ever did for me and my family! It was hard because of the history but i would never go back!
