First of all, welcome to the site! There is a great group of people here.

Your daughters have beautiful names. My son was going to be MacKenzie Ryann if he was a girl! I was older than you when I got pregnant, but I understand the lonely feeling you are having. It is normal to feel all of those things. Don't be w/him just because you 2 have kids together.

I highly recommend rethinking not allowing him to see his kids. There are several things wrong w/this. He needs to bond w/them and they need him. It is important to have both parents in their lives when that is possible. It sounds like he wants to be there and should be allowed to be.

You also need to go back to school. It is really important to at least have high school under you. It will help in getting work. You don't want to be stuck working low paying, going no where jobs. Don't put yourself behind. There are plenty of people that do it and you can to. I, am looking to start online college courses to finish what I started before getting pregnant.

I wish you and your daughters the very best. I hope you continue to post and get the advice that you want. There are many people on here that are willing to listen!

Hi morgan and welcome to the site.

Just maybe think about setting him straight, and yourself, if you don't wish to be with him anymore. If he's taking part in his kid's lives and paying support don't rock that boat though.

You have a lot of time ahead of you in life. Perhaps find a way to continue with school, GED whatever it takes and concentrate on that and your kids for a while.

Remember something, you don't need to settle for anything/anyone because you think no one will ever want you, there'll be plenty of time for that stuff later on. Just take some time for you and your daughters and begin building a foundation for the future.

Best wishes

Sounds like you have some really great plans ahead of you. It will be hard, but your daughters will be better off with you getting an education and having a career.

Don't ever stop the bond that has formed between your daughters and their father. That bond is more important than anything in the world. Just because he is "bothering" you to get back together with him is not a reason to end his relationship with the girls. That hurts them, especially in the long run. Believe my birth father never had a relationship with my sister and she is 21 years old and still angry and hateful towards him. The relationship he has formed with those girls is important to him and very important to the girls. Maybe ya'll could stay friends or acquaintinces, but don't let that bond slip away.
