Just Looking For Support.

[happymommatobe072715]

I guess I should start from the top. I turn 22 next month and was with my ex now for a short period of time, in which I got pregnant back in October. It was entirely unplanned. My pregnancy was suppose to bring us closer together, but it did the exact opposite. We fought..non-stop. And when I first told him about the pregnancy, he instantly wanted to terminate so his family wouldn't disown him. It didn't take long for me to decide that we were on two different pages, so.. I ended our relationship. I was content with the idea of being a single mother, especially with the support system I have, but recently.. a guy from my past came back into the picture and has been contributing as much as he can with the baby and I. I'm not talking about financially. He gives us the love that my little munchkin and I have been needing. Although it feels right in every way, I'm scared I could be making a wrong decision because now my ex is threatening to get full custody.

I'm trying, day after day. To remain stress free and to grow a healthy baby. It's just getting hard so I'm wondering if anyone else has been in the same situation as myself. And if so, how are you dealing with it?

I heard that he technically cant do anything with custody if you two were never married. And honestly, i don't think it'd be possible for him to get full custody because women are favored  more when it comes to stuff like that. If he didn't want the baby in the first place, he's kinda stupid for pulling the full custody crap. He can't win. So i think you should just worry about you, your baby, and the people who care about both of you so you can stay stress free. Hope things work out for you!

I was in the exact same situation. My ex threatened to get full custody of my daughter but never followed through with the threats. In fact he hasn't seen his daughter in 10 months and has only contacted once in the last 8 months. But I don't personally know your ex so its hard to tell if he is just all talk or not. But if he was wanting you to terminate this pregnancy he will probably just play it up like he wants the baby because he wants you back or he really could have changed his mind about the pregnancy. If I were you I would try to see how serious he really is or if its just all talk.

Dont worrie about your ex getting full custody, unless you neglect your child or doing lots of drugs, which im sure you are not, he cant, he didnt want the baby to begin with, how much can he love this baby? As for the new guy just take it slow, day by day and see what happens =)
