Hello, my name is Megan and i am almost 9 weeks pregnant. I just broke up with the father of my child, we weren't even "dating", he was a party buddy to me when this all happened, his feelings were much stronger than mine so i decided it's best to break it off sooner then later. I'm so alone and scared, he told me he'd support the child no matter what, but it hurts to not have that support that a boyfriend/father of the child can give. Does anyone have any advice? I'm so alone and scared

Hi Megan, I know this must be an extremely hard time for you now. You feel alone, scared and emotions are all over the place. at least thats how i felt. i was in the same situation that you are in now. i didn't break up with my sons father though because we were never a couple. at least you have the financial support, that is a big plus and probably the most difficult part for me about being a single parent. My advice is to just hang in there and stay strong. once you are able to hold your child in your arms everything eventually makes sense and nothing else matters. a child truly needs his/her mothers love more than anything.i hope that this helped a little.

it did it's just nice to know i'm not the only one whos been through this, it's just extra hard because none of my friends know what i'm going through and they're too busy living out their "youth" to really care. But thank you

I totally know what you mean. I founds that my old, single friends kinda phased out gradually. Eventually I gained new friends, friends that I have more things in common with. All are parents and it’s totally cool. Its nice to have friends that you can relate to and can share stories with. Seriously, you won’t even notice it but it may or may not happen. In addition, there seems to be a lot of support on this website.

I am glad that it helped. I hope that everything works out for the best.

Take care

Hang in there Megan! Stay positive. I did it twice...you can get through this, girl!

This situation is very difficult for a woman. I think you can accept his support. After all, he is the father of the baby.

Megan, I read your post and the first question that popped into my head was: have you considered trying to have a relationship with the father? What I mean is, is it a possibility?

If not, then by all means, if he's willing to support you and give you support with the baby. If you were friends before, maybe its possible that you can be friends enough to raise the child together and be civil about it. I would think its a great thing that you were pregnant by a friend and someone you know rather than a complete stranger.

I hope things work out for you and I hope you find this site useful.
