Roll Call

Hi! I have seen a lot of new names on here in the past few months and have noticed alot of vets not posting as much. Just wanted to make a post for everyone who is still on the board, say hi to newbies, and see where everyone is on their single parent journey.
Baby K is growing like a weed and just turned 1 year old! I am still working fulltime and splitting childcare between part time daycare and having family watch her. Her father and I have no custody issues as he has chosen to abandon her completely. He didnt even send any sort of email/text/call to acknowledge the big birthday. I had a court order for child support set up about 7 months ago and backdated to K's birth. I am still waiting for that first payment as he has chosen to ignore the court order as well.......
Other than the lack of CS life as been hectic but good lately. Hope the same for all of you!
Re: Roll Call
I'd say I'm new too! I started posting in April when my now ex-fiance and father of my child and I split up. Like PP, we were dating, got pregnant by accident, he then proposed 2 days later. I accepted in an attempt to create a home for my child. By week 10 of my pregnancy I had left and am currently dealing with a lot of difficulties and drama with BD. Fortunately, also as PP had mentioned, I was able to move in with my mom and just recently was able to obtain employment again. I couldn't be in a better place and with more supportive people than I am right now. BD drives me insane most of the time, but I now have an attorney to help deal with some of it and I'm just trying to enjoy my last 10 weeks of pregnancy!
I'm here off and on, but mostly over on my BMB.
The past two weeks were the most stressful of my life, but hopefully it'll be up from here. It's been total craziness from STBXH... Waiting on getting mediation scheduled so we can get this show on the road!

I don't ever post here. But I read what everyone has to say. I started a post one day but it ended up being a very LONG post. I slept with BD twice. I hardly knew him and both of us could have taken better precautions before/during/after. But needless to say I love my DS who is 6 weeks today! I told BD 4 days after I found out last November. He said he was not at all prepared for this and wanted me to get an abortion. I didn't think I could emotionally handle getting an abortion. A month later he text me and asked what I decided to do. He said he isn't stable enough and wanted to know if I expected anything from him i.e money. I told him I wasn't sure what to do about that.
That was the last time I heard from him. I still wonder how he can not want to know his child.
I moved in with my parents when I was 12 weeks. They said I could live there until I am closer to finishing school and finically stable. My stepmom and dad have been wonderful. Stepmom is a bit overbearing sometimes and gets on my nerves as does my 17 y/o sister. I am grateful to have the love and help from my family. Every single one of them adores my son! I couldn't ask for a more loving family!
I do wish that I had been more responsible. I see all the bumpies with pictures of their families and it makes me jealous and sad. But I figure everything happens for a reason.
