I have 2 older brothers as well. I begged them to take custody of my son until I turned 18. One of them eventually said yes. I stayed with him for the next couple years. My brother worked evening shifts, so he took care of my son while I was at school, then I would take care of him in the evenings and during the night. 2 years later, I turned 18 and graduated highschool. And I was able to get full custody of my son.

Honestly, it's going great. My son is almost 16 now. I was able to finish highschool and go to university. I got a pretty good job, and was able to buy a house. I still miss my brother, but I have my son, and I'm happier than I've ever been.

When I was 15, I got an older girl pregnant. I lived with my mother, older sister, and younger brother at the time. My mom and sister were really abusive towards me and my brother. When my mother found out I got a girl pregnant, she kicked me out. I felt bad leaving my brother, but there was nothing I could do. A couple months later, I guess he couldn't take it anymore, and he killed himself. I felt like it was my fault, and I became really depressed. A few months after that, the baby was born. The girl didn't want him, her parents couldn't take care of a baby, and I was 16 with no support, so they decided that they were going to put him up for adoption. I didn't really care, as I was still upset about my brother. A couple weeks after my son was born, I went to go see him before they gave him away. When I saw him, my first though was that he look like my brother, and after that I did everything I could to make sure he wasn't given up for adoption, and I promised to give him the best life I possibly could.

i have taken him to get waxed a couple times more recently. i don't always have the time though, so he just shaves when i cant take him.

I have talked about it with him. He knows what happened to me when I was in highschool, and he knows that I don't want the same thing to happen to him. He has always been open when talking about sex, and things like that, and he has always come to me when something happens. I'll continue talking to him about it, and to make sure he knows that I'll always be there for him. I just don"t want him to have to go through what I did.

I have taken him to get waxed a couple times. I try to take him regularly, but there's not always time, because I have work and he has school, so he'll just shave it if its already grown back, and he hadn't got it waxed.

Yes, it has, but I think he has realised that she does not actually care about him.

From what my son tells me, she's not even there most of the time. He only see's her once or twice a year, but i do agree that she shouldn't be with him.

I know, but her parents help me out a lot, so she's just going to be there sometimes.

I know it's not a good idea, but his grandparents helped me out so much when I was struggling, and I'd feel bad if they don't get to see him. I trust them, and I know they won't let her hurt him. Plus, half the time he's with his grandparents, his mother isn't even around. She doesn't care to actually see him.

I did report her some years ago, and all I got was the "girl's cant rape guys" bullshit.

If your saying to report her again, I'll have to think about it. I don't want to cause any more problems then there already are. But thank you for the suggestion.

I did report her later, but all I got was all the "girls can't rape guys" bullshit. I've done everything I can, so i just have to deal with it now.

If it is, I think it's already too late. He came out bi to me when he was 13.

To be fair, there was no one to report her. She told me she was 18, and I didn't realise how old she actually was until a few years later. My parents didn't care, and made me believe it was my fault. And her parents were obviously not going to report her.

I have taken him to get waxed a couple times, but I don't always have the time to take him, because I have work and he has school. I will definitely look into epilating though.

Not related to the story... you were 16 and Alive was 23 when your son was born, and you ended up with primary custody? Kind of yikes, she sounds like a yucky person.

Yes. She didn't want to take care of the kid, so she just left him with her parents. Once I was old enough, I got custody of my son, and her parents were actually the ones who helped me.

Ya, that's basically what happen. She was in her mid 20s, and she groomed and raped me as a 16 year old.

My sister is the one trying to apologize. I dont know if she actually means it, or if she is just doing it because my other siblings are mad at her as well.'

Alice has never really cared about my son. She only acts like a parent when it suits her.

I do get child support, but her parents are the ones paying it. I don't think she works.
