There we were happy again but in the back of my mind the fact that he essentially rejected his child still bothered me. My child was born on August 19th, my mother and my aunt were by my side thank God for that, no he wasn’t there when I called him he said he was at work and that he didn’t know where the hospital was. I cried the whole night my son was born he was so beautiful and still is … His father didn’t see him until he was almost four months old and even then he would not hold him he only came because I served him with child support papers he asked if I would not put him on child support I did not agree. He started coming around every week and spending time with him as he should I was still hurt but we tried to work it out for the sake of my son then it happened again I was on a different form of birth control than the first time and we used protection which broke and I was pregnant again before my son was one. This time he was okay he was there the whole time I was pregnant he was attentive he was there for our son and I was starting to feel as if things were okay, but things changed again my son has a lot of health problems he was born with asthma, he has severe eczema, he has a heart problem, and was on a twenty-four hour monitor for the first nine months of his life because he has sleep problems I asked him to take me to an overnight sleep study for our son he refused.
We broke up again, here I was seven months pregnant with a ten month old child and alone my second son was born with health problems as well again I was alone my mother couldn’t be there with me because she was caring for my other son (I thank God for her everyday). I hadn’t talked to their father since he refused to take us to the doctor it took until my youngest was almost five months old before he even saw him when he did he again apologized and said that he was going through a lot of things and I wanted him to be a part of the children’s life so I let him move in with me he stayed for three days then he left and was gone for another four months. He called daily but I was hurt and angry and I didn’t want to talk I felt like he would say anything just to sleep with me and I didn’t want anymore children. Now my children are two and one respectively and I am a happy single mother.
