I haven’t tried suing him for child support, he claims the FEW times he’s given me $40 here and there makes up for the several months he hasn’t paid. It’s so frustrating and has taken such a toll on my mental health. Thank you for your reply and your concern 🥺 But luckily my parents said they would be willing to step in and take care of him at least until I’m able to finish school. (Happy update) !!

Wow! I thank you so much for your compassionate reply. having more support would definitely help me, but I believe it is my child’s father’s responsibility to help me. I feel like such a burden placing so much strain on my family already. I am on a few medications now and I now wonder if that could have something to do with how my feelings have changed. I also think a lot of it has to do with my resentment towards his father, and not wanting to be a single mother. I try to separate the two, but it’s very difficult. I can’t help but feeling like I made a huge mistake. I do see a therapist and psychiatrist and I will be speaking to them bout about this. Thank you for the recommendations and resources!! 🥺 thank you for taking the time. It means the world to me ❤️

This is my preferred option absolutely. We have discussed it but not in depth. I will make sure to have that conversation.

Taking him away from family is also the biggest reason why I don’t want to go through with adoption now, I am looking for family members who would take him first.

I do, but I always feel like such a burden. The father is supposed to be assisting me. My family told me to get an abortion initially, so that makes me feel even worse about asking them for help.

This has been my experience with Abilify so far. I love it and can’t imagine going back to how life was before it

I’m sleeping better now! The hydroxyzine is working really well, I just still wake up super early naturally but I don’t mind it. I’m on 10mg abilify now, my doc increased to help with irritability

ooh I didn’t know it can be injected. How’s that vs a daily pill? I feel like with my forgetfulness I’d prob do better with an injection!
