Halfpint answered Thursday June 9 2005, 11:19 pm: You have a lot of different feelings when you are pregnant. Is he not treating you right? Is he acting like he isn't going to help? It is really hard to raise kids on your own. I did it, and a lot of women do. I also came from a home where my parents stayed together for 26 years. In the 18 yrs I was at home I don't remember my parents saying I love you or hugging or kissing. It's hard to grow up in a home with no affection. I'm also divorced. I didn't want my kids growing up in a house with no love. My ex and I agreed when we divorced that we would not fight in front of the kids or talk badly about each other in front of them. They have seen that mom is happy and dad is happy, but mom and dad weren't happy together. Does that make sense? Most of all they know they are loved. It's hard to keep a relationship together. It takes giving and patience. Sometimes things that seems like an issue today may blow over and not be such a big deal. Are your issues worth your kids growing up without mom and dad together?? Are your issues something that will not ever be resoved?? If you can't resolve these issues then don't stay together for the sake of the kids. Growing up in a home with fighting and no love is not good. Hope this helps

It's better for you because you won't have to deal with him and, you know what, it's better for your current child and soon to be. I don't think you would want your kids growing up with a "father" who shows up whenever he freaking wants to, and just leaves you with your children in the cold without a goodbye or without knowing when he'll come back.
I'm not sure if this is what happens when you're pregnant, but that doesn't matter. TRUST YOUR GUT FEELING, you konw about how a girl has intuition, you have to follow it.
Any slightest feeling he will leave you/won't be there, deal with it now.
You don't want that to run too late, and hurt you, or even POSSIBLY your children.
GOODLUCK LOVELY!
Let me know how everything works out!
