I haven't heard from BD since the day DS was born. We exchanged a few texts about 12 hours after birth, he asked for my info "so he could send me what little he could afford" and I gave him my parents address where I'm staying until I can get back on my feet. I even texted him a couple of pics of DS before I accidentally drowned my phone and lost his number. 9 and 1/2 months later, still haven't heard from him or seen the first penny from him to help support the life we created together. I filed for CS with my state, they still haven't been able to find him to serve him paperwork and get a court order established. All I can say is he's missing out on a beautiful, happy and active baby boy, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I chose to leave when I was about 19 weeks along, and never regretted doing so because my son and I are both better off without him. It's tough, but my parents are here to help when I need them to.
Just thought I'd share a little bit since I've been mostly lurking here for a little over a year now, and never really introduced myself. BTW, I love this board. You all are the most understanding and supportive group of women I've come across on this site.
Re: Glad I made the decision to leave and be a single mom!
Reading some of the posts on here are so uplifting though. Even though I don't know you all, you've given me strength. So, thank you for your post. Your little one is a such a cutie!
