[quote=Anonymous]I accidentally got pregnant from a man I was dating who has made it clear he doesn't want to be involved. He seems to have some strange idea that he can choose not sign the birth certificate, absolve himself from any legal responsibility, see the child only when it's convenient for him, and instead he'll just talk with me to give me all his parenting ideas and help me make decisions. Which is, of course, ridiculous and out of the question. Right now I'm trying to get him to give up his parental rights, since that'll make my life easier and I truly don't believe it's good for a child to have a father that comes in and out of their life on a whim.

Whether he does or not, it's clear I'm going to be doing most, if not all, of it on my own. I'm mostly excited, somewhat scared, and very sad that everything I thought I'd do with a partner I'll be doing alone.

Anyone here BTDT? What advice do you have?

Please be kind, I've heard enough criticism from people already for being a pregnant, unwed woman who should have known better and "kept her legs shut". It's hurtful and not at all helpful. [/quote]
