22-7-2008 - Family problems.... frustratedMy mood while writing this blog:
frustrated



Soooo... lets start with my wonderful father...

Let me take you back to around Oct 6th 2007 when I was first pregnant.... I had no problem telling my dad that I was pregnant then... but the way he reacted was outrageous!! (and keep in mind that my dad and I have never really got along.. we fight, argue, and scream at eachother. Were way to much alike.. I have not lived with him in about 4 years... and he would not let me move back in with him when I had no place to go.. but yet he let his BRAND new step daughter move it.... that pretty much sums up my relationship with him) But when I told him back in oct that I was pregnant, he didnt talk to me. So finally when I got him to talk to me, he agreed that he would start talking to me if I arranged to talk to somebody about giving my baby up for adoption. He said then that I was not able to provide for my baby ANY way possible, meaning finacially, mentally, etc. So I talked to his lovely new wife about adoption since she is apparently the expert and from then on out he talked to me. When I miscarried the last time, I called him and told him that I hope he is happy and all the sudden he was like "no honey thats not what I wanted" blah blah blah. Whatever dad! So now, I was going to wait till after I was 13 weeks before I told him so I didnt start a world war 4 again over nothing ya know?? But NO NO NO that cant happen, cause people like to run their mouths. I told my stepmom when I was 11 weeks, trusting her but I guess she couldnt wait till I told him and I guess its my fault for trusting her. Then... my brother ran his mouth... which he is the 2nd family member I have to vent about. So my dad didnt call me for about 2-3 weeks and I knew he knew cause he hasnt called.. So finally when I talked to him about it he said that Im going to be on welfare the rest of my life and to basically not ask him for help.. He got it stuck in his head that Im going to ask him for help and money and for him to watch my baby.... I would not trust him with my puppy, I will be damned to ask him to watch my kid. And as for money, he makes over $100k a year, and cant even help me pay $10 co-pays before when I had my 3rd knee surgery. He is selfish... I told him I dont want him there when I have the baby and I want him to have nothing to do with my and my baby at all. All I want from him to say is "Ness, Im here for support if you need it" Thats is. I dont need money support, cause if I borrow money for it, I will have to build him a house to repay 50 dollars back and I will never hear about that time he helped me. He has betrayed me soooo much in my life it kills me, I deal with the shit he has done to me everyday, and I just cant forgive him. So I guess what I need help on is deciding whether or not to just give up... and wait to see if he comes around, or pour my heart out to him for the hundredth time and have him act like it doesnt matter again. Im to the point to tell him to f*** off its crazy.. help!!!!!!

I dont have the energy to get into my freakin brother... I will blog about him tomorrow....

Aww, honey that sounds so bad. But, this is HIS flesh and blood also, and I have seen so many grandparents not even speak to their pregnant children until the actual delivery, and once they held that child all the old bullshit went right through the window and they turned to mush. I so hope that happens to you. i have seen even the hardest parent figure do just that. Please keep us posted. Also, one of my bf's got pregnant her senior year of high school...she went to college, got her associate's in registered nursing, finished her bachelor's AND master's, and is now working on her doctorate...with NO help from her parents. Anything is possible.

You are a mother now and you have a responsibility to your child. We need all the support we can get through our pregnancy, and if ANYONE is going to give you grief or stress, youre better off without them even if its your own father.
Tell him you need his support 100%, or not at all. We know things are going to be tough, but we don't need to hear it from our loved ones.
bottom line is, youre having a baby with or without his support so youre better off making things as easy as possible for yourself and telling him to back off unless he is going to be there for you.

My dad and I didn't have a good relationship when I lived at home during my teenage years. I always prided myself on being responsible and not getting pregnant as a teen. So when I told my dad I was preg at 20 yrs. old I was still a little aprehensive. But thankfully he was excited (he likes my fiance) and would help me if I needed. But I think the best thing for you would be to try to take care of yourself and if you can try to get by without him (financially) then that might be best. You don't need all that extra critacism and negativity while your pregnant. Until he comes around just relax and enjoy your little one.

Take care of yourself and your bundle of joy (don't let anyone tell you otherwise)...this kind of stress is the last thing your delicate body needs right now. keep your head up and know that you have support & love from all of us here...my thoughts are with you...take care...

I say you need to focus on you and your baby! You said you have tried talking to him before, and he doesn't listen!! Put your energy into your baby hun!! Prove him wrong, maybe he will come to realize that he was wrong and he'll come around. I wish you the best!!! Take care!!

My word, what a mess!! It sounds like he is causing you a lot of stress! Right, my advice to you (however I am a stubborn person) would be to cut ties and look towards the future yourself. Your dad willl realise that you are capable of doing it on your own and once the baby is born he will want to be a part of it's life and your life. Stay strong, don't stress and look at it as a learning curve on how NOT to parent!!! Good luck x.

i am SOO sorry that your dad is giving you a hard time... my advice to you is give him a little space... and HOPEFULLY when you have the baby he will feel the love right away and his rude acting will be a thing of the past.... my boyfriend's mom hates me (dont know why... i have always been SOO nice to her.. even when she is being mean to me i sit there and say nothing) but anyways when i got pregnant she started bad mouthing ALOT (basically said the same things as your dad said) and everyone keeps telling me that when i finally have the baby she will be completly different and she will love the baby so much and her "rudeness" and negative thoughts about the pregnancy will me a thing of the past... i can just hope they are right... AND i hope the same thing happends with you and your dad!!
