Just to introduce myself, I am in a wonderful relationship with my boyfriend of two years, and he has a six-year-old daughter and we also have another baby on the way. She is due sometime this month. Late last year, I moved to his hometown and almost immediately became pregnant. I am hours from family and did not get a chance to make many friends before my pregnancy.
He was laid off in the spring and after some fruitless job searching, he decided to take up truck driving. Needless to say, he succeeded.
Well, he has been gone for about four days and I am out of my mind crazy. I cry every time I speak with him, can't sleep or eat for anything, and his little girl has become a demon-child. The thought of him being gone for weeks at a time devastates me almost as much as the thought of him not being here when our baby is born.
I understand he is gone so we can have some security, but the emotional part of me, well she doesn't understand at all. I am hoping some of these feelings will pass as time goes by, or as pregnancy hormones stop messing with my head, but for now, I am just surviving. I am hoping to express myself here and also read about other single parents going through similar circumstances. Hope everyone has a great day and hope to hear from you soon!
