I am a 3 year divorced single mom at 37 and have a wonderful 7 year old boy who I share 50/50 custody with, works out really well for all 3 of us.

Anyway, was in a 1 year relationship and I finally decide to end it due to various reasons in December. Well, saw him in January and had, well you know, any way, turns out that I am pregnant, due October 10th. I was on the pill, so this was totally unplanned, but not a 100% unwanted.

I have always wanted another child, but I do not want the father of this child in my life, I know that I would be unhappy which would make my children probably unhappy as well. He says he wants to be in our lives, but I really cannot see things working in the future. I mean I do not completly want him out of this childs life, just not a relationship between me and him. He does not seem to get it, the future that is and planning etc.

I guess I am here just to ask if there is anyone else in my shoes and how are you coping?

I have many many questions/concerns that I know I have to deal with, but I just do not know what to do. Does this child have to have his last name is one of the many small questions I have.

Thanks for your time. [/qb]
