After dating for about 6 weeks long distance, I found out I was pregnant. Our relationship has been extremely rocks since... (1) the emotional ups and downs with pregnancy, especially feeling "alone", (2) severe financial difficulties, where I have supported him with $100,000 in credit and cash, and now my financial situation is chaos. The father's finances have been (supposedly) held up due to some legal situation. Each week he says money's coming, but nothing yet. Because I have only dated him for a short while..I just don't know what to believe. He says he loves me, and will support the baby, but I feel I cannot trust him, and I am emotionally hurt by his absence (physically and financially) over the past 5 months. He recently accidentally left a disturbing message on my cell phone (which he quickly defends I have misinterpreted) again causing my distrust. I am looking forward to having my first child...but cannot enjoy my pregnancy, and I feel guilty that it is under these circ_mstances. I am a director in my extremely stressful corporate job, and my performance there is suffering as a result of this situation. I am well educated, well off, a good christian woman, and this is extremely tough for me. I hadn't prepared to be a single mother...but maybe I should. Any advice (or good thoughts) to help me get through this?
