Hello, My name is Allison and I'm a single mom. (insert support group "Hi Allison" here) I have an 8 year old boy and he is the light of my life. I actually set up my membership here in June of last year but this is the first time I'm posting.

My story: I was dating a guy and he dumped me for someone else. I few weeks later I found out I was pregnant. He thought I was lying because I wanted him back and when he found out I wasn't he left the state.

During my pregnancy he would call every now and then saying that he wanted to be there for me. The day of my son's birth he was nowhere to be found. Even after that, I tried to keep him involved in his son's life. It didn't work.

The most he's seen him is 8 or 9 times in his whole life. The few times he did use his visitation it was so he could p*ss off his GF. The most recent time was at least a year and a half ago. He doen't call on holidays, birthdays, and he doesn't pay any support.

Sorry to be so long winded. Thanks for listening to me. I hope I can be a productive member of the group.

Welcome

Sorry to here about your situation and that the father is a worthless POS - if you've been around here for awhile I'm sure you realize that your situation, unfortunately, is shared by far too many others. But you've come to the right place for help, support, or even a few laughs - so welcome !

I have a tattoo of the Great Gazoo on my right shoulder. lol He's my favorite cartoon character.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I know that a lot of people can relate to what I've been going through. I hope that I'll be able to help.

Welcome to the active world of SFV.

Well, sadly you can't for someone to be an active part of his or her child's life. I am sorry you had to go through that and I think you will make a warm addition to our humble forum. Welcome and please feel free to post often.
