Single mum to toddler and pregnant again and alone

[Chloeisobelle21]

I'm 25, I feel like my life is such a mess right now. 10 weeks pregnant with my second and father has run off, doesn't want anything to do with me or the child. I don't even drive which was something I was planning to do next year once I had gone back to work. Work is a distant memory again now too. I just need some kind words and maybe some other women are in this situation?

"father has run off, doesn't want anything to do with me or the child" - quick question - does he pay child support? I was in similar situation - faced reality that I couldn't support child on my own, went to court for child support, got it, moved on. Financial difficulty can be depressing, and your children deserve better than a depressed mom. And, the father has an obligation to support the children he helped make, I think. You are young, and you can really make something of yourself and provide for your children, but it may be more difficult if you try to do that completely on your own financially.

When you say 'me or the child' do you mean your toddler or unborn child ? Is he father to both ? Was baby planned ? Are you decided to continue with pregnancy. ?
