Hey everyone. First a foremost I want to give major kudos to you all for being a single parent. As I recently found out it is major work.. But of course worth it!!
My name is Lauren and I am 25 years old. DD was born on march 24th.. Amelia Claire. I never knew how much love one is capable of until I held her in my arms.
Onto my situation. Me and SD (I say SD for sperm donor because he doesn't deserve the title as father) were only dating for 3 months when I got pregnant. He came off as a wonderful person at first and he seemed genuinely interested in raising this child together. Well shortly after getting pregnant.. I found out I was all sorts of wrong. He was dating 3 other women and using is kids that I found out he didn't see as excuses when he couldn't be around. I hadn't met them yet because like I said we weren't dating long and I wasn't rushing it at that point. Well not only was he dying these women but he knocked up the 37 year old married woman at the same time as me. He lied about where he worked..lived.. Said he had a car and made up elaborate stories when he doesn't even have a license.. Lied about his kids.. And god knows what else. Ok so he is obviously a bad person but I still wouldn't keep him from his child if he really wanted to be in her life like he kept stressing.
Fast forward to march 24. I texted called him numerous times to tell him I was in labor and the baby was coming. He didn't get back to me for hours and all he said was "omg". Then later said he did answer all my texts and I wasn't answering him which is obviously total bullshit. Then his next excuse was he didn't want to come because my mom was there. Well how about you grow a pair and suck it up to be there for the birth of your daughter? Well anyway he didn't come during labor. He kept saying he was coming to see her in the hospital.. And I would give him opportunities when I was alone so he didn't have to be there when my family was there.. But he had more excuses.. Like he didn't get my messages.. He had to work.. He overslept. Ok whatever you're an ass. Well the same excuses have been shoved at me for the last almost 4 weeks. So I call him out on in and he always finds a way to try to turn it around and make it my fault that his dead beat ass won't come see her.
Today he told me he wishes I would have died giving birth.. After I called him out yet again for his broken promise.
I'm so fed up with him and his lies. I genuinely believe she is better off without him because even if he decided to come see her I'm sure he would be a half ass parent. I don't even want to take him to court for child support because I give him the opportunity to get some kind if custody arrangement and I don't trust him one bit.
I hate that one day in the future that Amelia is probably going to come to me and ask why her dad didn't want her. How do I explain that?
Sorry for the horribly long story.. And for any spelling errors.. I am mobile. I needed to get that all out because I really haven't said all of that out loud to anyone.
Happy Easter!!!

Re: Intro
My name is also lauren so you know i think your cool already. And im sorry to hear about your situation woth your bd
@MinnesotaMomma91 thank you. Lauren is such an awesome name so obviously you're awesome
Welcome to the board. Your BD wouldn't happen to be named Steve, would it? LOL (totally kidding.) My BD was a cheater and a liar but he wasn't spreading "his seed" that freely. I don't think.
Thanks for the welcome.. And no not Steve lol.. But yes he apparently loves spreading his seed. 3 almost 4 (married chick got an abortion) children from all different women by the age of 26. Sometimes I feel like I need to be on jerry springer or Maury.
Bentley is the second youngest of five. That i know of. He has two older brothers, an older sister and a younger sister four months younger then him. I dont even worry if bd will go for custody no judge will grant it to him since we live in different states
I didn't meet my dad until I was 26 and whenever I asked my mom prior she would tell me that he wasn't a good person. And that was enough for me for a long time. She was such an awesome mom I never wanted her to feel bad so I didn't ask much. When I finally met him for the first time he also agreed that he would not have been a good dad. We have a great relationship now and I embrace my extended family (he has 3 young kids too). I forgive my mom for sure. I'm still working on my dad. But I am who I am today because of my mom, 100% of me is from her.
Sounds like my child's father. Is his name Andre?
Welcome. I'm sorry you're going through this.
