and a baby?

Posted on 07/16/08, 11:41 pm

It seems like people like to tell me how well divorces they've been through or know of turned out. It's "the best thing that happened to them" sometimes. But is anyone else going through this "so young" with a baby too? People who tell me how good the whole thing was for them usually don't have kids or have kids who are old enough to have experienced having a dad to begin with. So I have little to know idea about how to face this with my baby and an unreliable father who claims he wants to be his son's father, but who I'd just as soon have out of the picture for the most part.

  I am 27 with a two year old that has special needs. My ex husband has decided that he doesn't want to accept the diagnosis and just pretend it doesn't exist. My son sees his father but all the medical stuff lies on my shoulders. My ex husband also has a new girlfriend which is adding to the drama. It's not easy by anymeans -- it's been since January since the divorce was final and I still swear it is getting harder and harder as my son grows up and more medical issues arise. I am finding it really stressful being a single mother but doing the best I can. Do you have a support network to turn to? Like your mom or dad?

  I feel you pain completly I'm in the early stages of what looks like a long and painful breakup and just the thought of not seeing my little girl everyday scares me.Being the product of a single mom makes me want to be a good dad even more but living with a person who has no feeling for you is just too much to bear.
