Hello everybody.
Just found out I'm pregnant (only about 4 weeks). Bit of a shock, but that's a long story.
I initially wasn't sure whether to tell the father, because he's not exactly somebody I would class as dad material, but I realised I was playing God due to my own opinion of what 'dad material' is and I shouldn't judge.
He isn't a bad person by the way but we are not in a relationship.
I told him on Monday, and he was initially in shock (which I understand, because I felt the same when I found out). I gave him space, then he rang me to meet up again on Wednesday.
He has decided he doesn't want a child and therefore doesn't want anything to do with me from now on. He said he's not ready etc, asked me to abort, called me a fair few names and kicked me out. He lives locally in a small village where we both live so chances of us seeing each other are high anyway.
I live with my parents. Complicated situation, but my mum and me have a great relationship and me and my step dad have a non existent one (we hate each other) to the point where I cannot enter the living room (ever) and I schedule bathroom/kitchen times around him. I absolutely would not be welcomed in open arms to continue living with them with a baby.
I have an ok job (I'm a receptionist) but I am not independent (as in live alone yet etc). Where do I go for support or advice? I don't feel like it's a time to turn to my mum yet.
Please note I'm not a sponger who got pregnant to turn to benefits etc or get a council house (I had some nasty comments like this on another forum). I'm just asking for advice.
Thanks in advance.x
