How can I do this all by myself

I'm 14 weeks pregnate and when I was 10weeks my husband walked out on me. I'm so stressed and scared. I'm scared for my baby all he dose is stress me out and say such mean things to me he said that he Dosnt care about me or my ******* baby. I cry everyday but I don't regret my baby at all just that my child won't know it's father. I have so much hate towards him. He just up an left said he couldn't do this now I have all the bills piling up and I can't afford to pay for this baby it just seems like I can't catch a break. I just want the best for my baby and I worry all the time about it. How do single parents do it??.

This is so sad. I'm sorry this happened! I know its way to early now but there are tons of men out there who will love you and your baby! For right now try to get some help. Maybe apply for food stamps that way you can pay some bills I know some people don't like going on then but they really do help when you need them. Get wick after the baby is born. Were here to talk when ever you need it chick! Wish you and your beautiful baby good luck !

The father of my child is very similar to your husband. Im 22a weeks and the baby daddy just is off doing whatever he wants. I went thru alot the past 8 weeks. Depression. Guilt. Irritation. And the finally love. Love for my child. Thats what will get u thru this. You have such a blessing and miracle growing inside you and u have the privilege of becoming a wonderful lovibg mom. He is the one missibg out on his family. He is the one that truly ends up with nothing while u will have love unconditional and one day you will find a man to be more of a father to him than his biological one could have ever been. In my case im not exactly sure if he will come around but if he doesnt then its sort of a favor in a way to my son. I can meet someone and he will be a great man and show him.what a real.dad is supposed to b like. Not what a part time give as little as i can dad is. So maybe he is doing u a favor. I know you may be thinking that u just cant feel.any hope right now but u will. I felt that same way. I will pray for you. Gods love and grace are my rock right now. He is truly carrying me thru this storm.

I dont think that the father deserves to have anything to do with his child, it would be best for both you and your baby to stop all contact at this time until he can at leat talk in a civil way, you owe that to yourself, I'm sure there are people out their/groups that will be able to help you financially, here in australia you can go to a debt agency that is run by the government, you give them all your bills and they organise a payment plan with the creditors and no other action gets taken against you, maybe a church or welfare organisation will have this kind or help or something similar, we also have a single parents payment, and also help with rent etc, you will need to find out about all of that, and get yourself moving, show that no-good husband of yours that you dont need him, pick the peices of your life you andstart to get organised, you will be surprised to find out once you start how strong you really are, dont worry about things for baby yet, you also dont need to buy new things like cots, there are plenty of near new cots etc that are out there and you wouldnt even no that they're not straight from the shop, little babies dont actually need much at all as they grow so quickly, there is no shame in buying good quality second hand things for your bub, a baby wont remember if they had a cot from a shop or down the road :) you can do this, trust in yourself and your inner strength :)

im very sorry you are going thru this.... i am a single parent now of 2 was with their fathet on and off and as like you he did nothing but stress me out so we went out separate ways.... its difficult yes but some how you will manage. your main priority should be to take care of your child first then yourself after that nothing else should matter. im now realizing that with two its alot harder (just had baby #2 a week ago) and some days will be alot harder then others but at the end of the day know that your child solely depends on you you will manage to take care of him or her as best as you know how. good luck to you
