I am a 19 year old single mom. I have a 6 months old son and I raise him completely on my own. I am a full time student and work full time. His father saw him ONCE when he was 3 weeks old. He has nothing to do with him now so i asked him to sign over his rights and now he is stalkin me. Calling all hours of the night. I am worried that he might try to take the baby. I cant do anything legaly because that would open the door for him to have partial custody. I cannot prove that it is him but i know it is. I need help there is so much more to this but I was wondering if there was anyone that I could just talk to. I love my son to death but it is so hard and i am just need someone to talk to. I am so stressed and depressed...if anyone ever wants to talk i would appreciate it. ~Caroline ~

I'm sorry that you are going through a hard time. I am nineteen with a 13 month old son and I know it's hard. I still don't understand why guys who father children become jerks not fathers at this age most of the time. Good for you that you are trying to get him to sign his rights away. Do it now while he wants to trust me. There are times when I wish I would have done the same thing when I had the chance but I didn't and there are plenty of times that I regret it. Listen in of ninety percent of all cases, even if this guy did try to take your son from you he wouldn't win, women almost always get their children. Plus you are the one who raises him and the only parent he knows. Espcially if you are the soul provider for him and the father shows no interest in the child that is all good for you and really really bad for the father because it only makes his case worse. Good luck and I hope all works out. Write me and tell me how everything is working out.

i know what you're goin through. my 13 month old's fathers name is not on the birth cert just to prevent him from custidy. the best i can tell you is to get a protective order and get away from him. i know you're stressed but hold it together for your kid. you said you do it on your own? maybe you should consider moving in w/ a friend form both emotional and physical help (in case he does try something). i am constantly worried about my son being taken and his father's never seen him. good luck.
