I was young when I got pregnant. The father of my son started drinking more and more until he no longer desired to work or help in any way. I saw that he was getting out of control and that he did not take being a father seriously so on night after he was out drinking all night while I was taking care of our child I packed up all of my belongings and left for my mother's house. I never stepped foot in that house again. I filed for child custody and child support the next day because I knew that it needed to be taken care of. I found a job and paid my mom to watch my son while also saving for a place to live. It was really hard, I didn't get to buy anything for myself for about a year and a half but I got an apartment, enrolled in school and now 3 years later I have a home for my son and I and a car paid off and as far as my son's father, he missed out on a great child and woman. Never look back, listen to your gut. Good Luck.
