Rachel, I'm sorry, but if he "also has other children from his past girlfriends alteast five I know of and has not paid child support on them" then do you honestly think things will be different with you? Why? I wouldn't spend too much time wondering whether he will support you and your unborn child. Is there anything in his current behavior that even suggests he will? You call him a "deciteful, lazy, womanizer, lier,immature..." Probably true, But, that doesn't absolve you from the reponsibility of making good decisions yourself. You've made some bad choices in the past, but its up to you to decide that from now on you are going to be master of your own destiny. And, I wouldn't look over my shoulder too often to see if anyone is going to step up to the plate to help you make that happen.

To Jessica in Flint... You obviously did not read before you posted. This woman was MARRIED to the man! How is that not being responsible? d**n, at least she isn't 14 years old, in junior high, and pregnant. She is a married woman who is pregnant. Unfortunately, she is married to a loser who needs to have his a*s thrown in jail, but regardless, to me she seems to be responsible. She COULD be doing drugs and running with his loser crowd of buddies, but she isn't. Rachel, I hope things improve for you and I know what you are going thru. Every day that you can, you should call your local CSEA office to help you. Call the local volunteer lawyers association to get legal representation, and file charges against him. Get what you can now, so when your beautiful child arrives, you are taken care of! Sign up for WIC and/or foodstamps. You can get free formula and diapers! Just because your "husband" (more like sperm donor!) is an irresponsible person, doesn't mean you are! Hang in there! I will say a prayer for you! Good luck!

Why are so many women not being responsible for themselves? Why are so many not on birth control? I don't care if you get STDs, but why bring so many unplanned children into the world? Note: this by no means is saying that it's okay for the fathers to do what they do. Second note: Of course I've got to be the only female who thinks if the mother has a choice, so does the father. I'll elaborate real fast-like. If the guy signs the birth certificate, he accepts all roles a father should. I also think they should have an option to not sign the birth certificate, and not be held responsible as a father. If a woman can choose to have or not have the baby, so should the father. Wow. That was off in tangentland. Point being: nobody else is going to take care of you. Be responsible for yourself.
