Single Moms
So I posted a few weeks ago that I was debating telling my ex that we would becoming parents again to a second child. Well since then I have actually spoke to my ex in person and told him that I was pregnant and that it was his child. I wasn't sure what reaction I would get from him but surprisingly enough he was complete "gentleman" about it, he asked if I needed anything from him that he was willing to make arrangements so I'm comfortable and well taken care of while I'm pregnant and the next morning I received a call from my divorce lawyer that my husband lawyer wanted to change our child support arrangement to include the new child , as well as changes to his will. Financially he is a wonderful man and I'm thankful for that but I'm more thankful for his new found concern over my health and well being since my last pregnancy was extremely difficult, he has actually come to one appointment and has actually seen our son twice in the past month which is a lot for him since our son rarely see him once every three to four months, I really hope that he can keep this up.
This weekend we plan on having lunch with my family to tell them together we are expecting another child and dinner plans with his family to announce that we are expecting at this point I have a belly poking out so it's a great time to share before speculation starts roaming around.
Thank you again to those of you that give me wonderful advice and didn't judge me, I look forward to sharing more in this group.

your lucky to have that. i didnt tell my ex i was pregnant for 5 months because he was with another girl and i was scared of his reaction then he figured it out for himself 2 days before his sisters funeral and then a week later he totally blew up in my face because i shouldve told him instead of keeping it from him but it was for a good reason. now my little girl is born and he tries but he doesnt try hard enough and hes a complete ass to me. he has no emotions at all towards his child even when shes sick.

I know I really wished other men would be, it takes more then just the woman to make the baby.

I"m sorry to hear that, it has to be tough for you and your little girl. I am lucky , financially he has always lived up to his obligations, it's getting his to be there for our son that has been hard even before we got divorced. So I'm happy he is making the effort to do better by our son and this new baby, I hope it continues. And I really hope you and your little girl can make throught this ok.
