Things are getting better...

So, my dad finally called me after e-mailing him to let him know. My dad would have flipped out on me any other way and I just couldn't handle that. I know him too well. So, he had his time to flip out, be angry, and now be supportive. He actually lectured me less than my mom did which was a massive surprise. He probably realizes that's not going to change anything about the situation. Anyway, we had a nice long talk about things and I'm hoping in the future if I need to ask for financial support, he will consider it. I spoke to my grandmother as well and I'm guessing my other family will be told soon. I'm just so ready to stop explaining myself and about the crappy father and enjoy this and be happy.

My mom said some of her friends back home want to throw me a shower and they are supportive as well, which is a real pleasant surprise.  

Baby daddy has gone back and forth now four times but is now saying he is going to help pay for the midwife again. I hope and pray this doesn't change again. It was really upsetting trying to find care this past week and getting nowhere.

I'm meeting with a lady from my Church on Tuesday for dinner who also said the group I was in will throw me a shower and she is going to help me find housing. That's my major stress right now is finding somewhere else to live. I pray this happens soon.

    What made him change his mind yet again?

    So glad things are looking up. I totally understand about being over wanting to talk about lame BD. I told everyone my scandalous info at the beginning so that now, at 23 weeks, we can all focus in the excitement of baby and not the drama of BD.

    As for BD changing his mind back and forth you really can't do anything about it or even know why he thinks how he does. Hopefully when he's in a good mood he'll pay in advance. Aldo, maybe you can talk to your midwife about the situation and try to work something out where she won't drop you for non payment.

    Thanks girls.

    Because of his PTSD, he is completely unstable. He doesn't take his meds, therefore almost like someone with bi-polar and unmedicated, he swings from one end of the spectrum to another. This is why we are no longer together because I never know if I'm dealing with Jekyll or Hyde from one minute to the next. I don't message him at all or call him or provoke him and next thing I know I get a message saying I'm paying, I'm not paying. I'm paying. I'm not paying. It's insanity.

    BabyMama...Yes I am hoping at my next appointment I can talk something out with them. I don't trust him one bit to pay a dime.
