single at 20 weeks

About a month back i dumped my boyfriend and father of my child. I did so because he wasnt treating me right and never seemed to care about me or the pregnancy. I thought what we had was love but it turns out to be infatuation. When i left him he did very little to keep me. He didnt even care about the baby. I had been in and out of the hospital since 4 weeks from being so sick and hed tell me to suck it up. He had even cheated on me and gave me chlamydia and acted like i did it. Im clean now. He did drugs as well and wanted to have sex which if he came in me the drugs would affect the baby.. he didnt care. So i felft him. I miss things about him but i know its for the best. But now i have no friends and no father for the baby. I have family for me but its not the same as having someone lay with you at night and share the feelings you have for the baby that you have. It just gets lonely..

You done the right thing hunny, I'm a single mum of a 1 year old and pregnant and me and this baby's daddy didn't work out unfortunately and yes it does get lonely and I'll admit sometimes I'll have a little cry lol but it does get better! We will find our right men one day and until then we just gotta wait and focus on ourselves and our babies and if you feel good about yourself and your life then things improve drastically :) so keep your chin up! Go out buy things for your baby and have a spa day or buy yourself something new, you deserve it :)

I think you should be very proud of yourself you not only did what's best for you but you did what's best for your child. And that makes you a great mother already. When u feel lonely remember you have God yourself and your baby. Any man that puts his baby's life at risk by bringing home a disease doesn't care

I'm so proud of you that you were strong enough and brave enough and smart enough to leave him and put you and baby first. There will be some one for you that will care and will treat you right, so u don't have to miss this guy there's another one, a better one waiting to come your way:) i know it gets lonely but spending time with friends or picking up a hobby will do wonders:)
