pregnant and no job

[sawyer_latasha]

i'm about 18wks pregnant and i have no job and can't find 1. i have gone 2 workforce but still no job.. i'm also single and i'm living with my 83yr old grandfather. my parents have passed away and i feel all alone. any suggestions?

well you can still file for child support, but take out a restraining order. he would have to stay away but he would be forced to pay for the child he NEEDS to support...you need to speak to a legal counselor about your options sweetie. he does NOT have to be a part of your child's life....

that's pretty tough...are there any farms around that you can work as a secretary, or something similar? I worked as a manager for a horse farm out where my parents lived before I turned 16 because it was the only job close enough without a car...look around maybe. of course I had management experience already so it was a little different, but I bet there's something there! does your grandpa have a car you can use?

the father is in Florida and i'm in Texas but.... i really don't want the father in my child's life. when i was with him...he abused me and i don't want 2 risk him doing the same 2 my child. and i'm in west tx in the "boon docks" not many jobs around and i don't have a ride 2 other towns.

just keep looking sweetie...what are you going to do with the baby once s/he is born? where is the father? You need to establish paternity and get a child support system set up so you can afford to send the baby to daycare after s/he is born so you can work once you find a job...you've just got to keep plugging. my sister-in-law lost her job when she was 22wks pregnant with her son and got another one when she was 31wks..so it's possible.
