My daughter's father hasn't even seen her, he left when he found out I was pregnant. So he has no clue I even gave birth or what gender I had. Now she is 6 months old and I need his help.. but in a way I dont want him back in the picture because I dont want him to do the same thing to our daughter that he has done to me, which is to just walk out when times get a little tough. Any advice on if I should make him face fatherhood or move on?? ↓

Makanzie-- Do whatever you can to at least make him take financial responsibility for your daughter. Get an attorney, and call Legal Aid if you have little money. Men do this to women all the friggin' time and it forces women into the ghetto of inferiority, poverty, and dependency. You can decide if you want him any more involved in your life. Frankly, his credentials as a nice guy to have around don't seem to be very good.
And to Gessenia! Hey girl, you need help. There are things you can do to make things better, but YOU have to take the initiative to ask for that help. Most communities have agencies that offer free parenting classes and support groups. I am taking a “Nurturing” class at the moment and it is way cool, especially to meet with other parents and share our problems and solutions. You can find them by calling the local YWCA, the local crisis hotline, the nearest pediatric hospital, or Child Protective Services. If your daughter is really a handful you can even call the police--it is their job to intervene with children who are "out of control" and will not only talk to her, but will provide you with information on getting help for yourself. She is only eight. If you wait too much longer, the chances are too good that the situation will get worse. Take control. ↑ |

| ALSO: Your community might have a 211 number that can refer you to services (though chances are not yet....) ↑ |

| Take the dirt bag to court, My ex doesn't pay to help,but hopefully you have better luck than i did when I took her back to court after 12yrs of her running from her responsibilty. she was $38,000 behind and when I got her arrested for back child support, the couts felt sorry for her and forgave of $24,800 and she still doesn't pay. DO IT NOW before it's too late. It will be 15yrs come Jan. I've had them ↑ |
