Just have to tell someone about what's going on in my life. I feel so
lonely, and I don't know who to talk to.
Too many things to detail. I'll just glaze over..
My girlfriend of nearly 10 months and I just broke up. Things were going
wonderfully between us, until she got pregnant.. ..while on the pill. It
wasn't really something either of us were happy about, but it really just
seemed to change everything for her.. ..she desperately wanted to feel/be
independant, and lost *all* interest in physical contact of *any* kind..
...nevermind sex. She says she feels that *I* deserve better than her, and
has very effectively pushed me out of her life.. ..she's told me that I seem
to never be satisfied with her, and that it is I who have essentially broken
up with her.. ..though she desperately wants my friendship and help with
the baby in the future. I've done everything to assure this girl and to be
there for her, as I'm still so in love with her.. ..and willing to be a
father.. ..but she's just completely cold and aloof and indifferent. She
doesn't want a relationship any more. I just don't understand. My heart's
in shards over this.. ..this complete reversal. She's also been very
inconsistent, saying extremely out-there and contradictory things but then
taking them back, regardless of my reaction in either direction, (eg: "I
need you!", "I think we should move in together when the baby comes").
She's *now* being completely noncommunicative and mysteriously silent. It's
been 2 months since we were intimate in *any* way, even just
conversationally, and not at any lack of effort on my part. I think that
most girls in her position would be excited to have a bf who's gonna
balls-up to be a father. Anyway, maybe I'd be able to handle this a little
better.. ..if it wasn't confounded by other things. Things that are also
likely affecting this..
My ex.. ..mother of my 2yr old son has just resurfaced. It's been nearly 9
months since she last lived in the same timezone as her son, nevermind
visited him, or even attempted much contact (3 phone calls). What happened
9 months ago is that her and her bf attempted to dissapear with my son in
tow, not letting anyone know where they were headed (effectively kidnapping
him). I managed to simply *luck out* and caught up with them. Immediately
took the matter to court. She missed *3* court hearings regarding custody
of our son, and I ended up, (to my joy and relief), with sole custody and
guardianship of him. Her display of negligence when dealing with the courts
is exemplory of her way of dealing with life's problems in general.
Anyway. blah-dee-blah. This woman, who was extremely physically, verbally
and psychologically abusive toward me when we were in a relationship, is now
attempting to bully her way back into her son's life. She demands
visitation with him. Although I do want my son to know his mother, it is
more than a hassle for me to have to arrange the necessary supervised visits
for her.. ..and then I worry when his behaviour takes such drastic turns
after seeing her. I know this is to be expected.. ..but her visits are so
irregular and brief that I wonder if it could ever *not* be a dysfunctional
experience for my son to go through. And besides all of that. She's a
fucking horrible psychotic ***** of a person.. ..she's a compulsive liar,
manipulative, and I suspect bordering on schizophrenia, or some other acute
psychoses.. ..and I just wish she would get her head examined for once and
for all. I'm actually looking into ways to somehow convince the courts
request/demand a psych. analysis of her, before granting her any legal
rights.
I know that I should probably just ignore her and let her take some legal
avenue to getting visitation with her son. I just know how very angry she
is.. ..and I fear that even if she jumped through all the legal hoops in
order to achieve any amount of unsupervised visitation with him, that as
soon as she had him alone to herself, it would be within her capabilities to
pick up and completely vanish with him again. She's a flight risk in my
mind. This woman has put me through all kinds of hell, (not worth going
into right now, as I prefer to suppress the memories as much as possible),
and I know she's not about to change her tune.
Being a single father, when you're alone, and no one loves you, is the
hardest thing to maintain, day to day. I have no family, accepting my
brother - and we're not very close. My beloved mother died a long
mysterious death, ending when I was 18 (she was a brain-dead, living corpse
for several years), and my father is basically a *****-show not worth talking
about. My friends have all been slowly growing away from me since I've
become a single parent, (which I completely understand). All I do at night,
after ds goes to sleep, is sit around and mope, do mindless directionless
crap online, and lately, cry myself to sleep, and wake up feeling that
choking feeling in my throat like I'm on the edge of crying still. I wonder
how in the fucking hell I will ever experience love, companionship,
friendship.. ..when I am stuck. And who the ***** would want me? A morbidly
depressed father of two kids with different mothers.. ..one's a psychotic,
the other still has feelings but will never actualize them.
I *rarely* get out, and when I do, there's nothing to do because I'm so out
of the loop. I drift from bar to bar looking for old friends and I feel
like a ghost from the past or a foreigner in a strange country. No one ever
fucking comes over to visit me at night any more, (even my last gf would
only stay over about once a week - because she didn't want to be involved
with ds at all).
On top of all this, I just moved and am experiencing some major financial
problems. Also, have student loans to start paying back, as I decided to
take a break after 4 years of physics/quantum/astro.. ..as it was beginning
to break my mind when mixed with the stresses of a screaming child. But now
I'm screwed..
I feel like there is no recourse for me to find myself, to build up my life.
It is falling down all around me. I'm completely alone. I'm so frustrated,
angry, tired, worn out, horny, I need a hug. I feel like I deserve so much
more. Rearing a child isn't meant to be done alone.
All I've ever done is give and give.. ..when do I get mine? I feel like
I've been the "nice guy" forever.. ..some part of me feels about ready to
snap and become a huge *****. Either that or find a nice spot on a bridge
and take a flying lesson..
anyway. Thanks for reading.. ..I think I've gone on long enough.

Electro, you have a lot on your plate. I'm glad you vented, it does help,
if anything to put things into perspective. I was a single mom for the most
part. My children are now 19 and 15. I am single again. My relationships
were short lived and my children never really accepted the men in my life.
Right now things seem difficult and rightly so. I don't know how old your
son is, or how old you are. If your friends are pulling away because you
have a child now, then they really aren't your friends. If the gals you are
seeing don't want to spend time with you because you have a son, then they
aren't the gals you need in your life. Focus on your son, he needs you from
what it sounds like. I know you are lonesome, I know you want
companionship, love, sex all of the above. Been there and done that. It'll
happen soon enough, until then, keep posting, keep venting. I'd hug you if
you were close but how's this {{{{{{{Electro}}}}}}}

I wouldn't say they're "pulling away" per se. If anything, I'm pulling away
from them. And regardless, I don't blame a lot of my friends for feeling
alienated whether or not it's my fault.. ..as I'm stuck in the (repetitive,
blase') duties of parenthood (don't get me wrong it does of course have it's
perks - my son is probably the only thing that keeps me alive). I *do*
have my handful of other parent friends, but it seems like we're all only
together out of convenience (kid-swapping/babysitting), not real

I really have never done well without it.. ..I think I have mother

Oh yeah, going through the motions. You are right it's not the same as the
friends we hung out with prior to becoming parents. I still don't deal well
with my kids friends' parents. It's not the same, I just don't relate.
I've never been the typical "June Cleavor", and never will be. Nor will I
ever be that typical grandmother, god forbid, when the time comes. I've
always been more of a friend to my kids, with enough discipline that they
know right from wrong, yet they can come to me with anything. I know when
my son lost his virginity, I was the first to know. When my daughter who is
only 15 years old, was thinking about sex for the first time,she came to me.
I can't imagine June Cleavor having that conversation with Wally or Beaver.
LOL Anyway what I am saying is most kids can't talk to their parents mine
can. Same with most kids parents, wouldn't approve of me or how I raised my
kids, but they're good kids, who are intellegent, who respect their elders,
who love their mother, who would help the homeless and work hard for a
living. Anyway, those aren't friends they're just parents of your kids
friends. Now I'm off on a tangent sorry.
There has to be one friend that is still your friend from prior to having a
child. I have one, but she lives 2000 miles away, but I could call her at
anytime just to talk.
If the gals you are
seeing don't want to spend time with you because you have a son, then
they
aren't the gals you need in your life. Focus on your son, he needs you
from
what it sounds like.
I know this is true.. ..but do you know anyone who wouldn't run away

Yeah me and I'm not that special. There are lots of women out there that
have the capacity to love,they don't care who the parent is but they'll love
the child, its finding someone to love you that will be more difficult.
It's not because you are unlovable so please don't take that wrong. Kids
are adorable. If she loves kids, at your son's age it won't be difficult
finding someone to love your son. IE each on of my relationships, they
love my kids, in fact they still IM them or email them or even call them. I
just was talking to an exhusband of mine, not my kids' natural father, who
said he'll always love my kids no matter what and should they ever need a
place to go, his doors would always be open. See finding someone to love
the kids is easy, it's finding someone we can love that is more difficult.
I love my son immensely.. .I want/need to be happy in order to
give provide the same to him. I need human contact. I'm starving for it.
I really have never done well without it.. ..I think I have mother

I get it... Therapists, I had one I thought was great. He helped me a lot,
I loved to visit him, then my fucking insurance changed so I had to stop
seeing him. I crashed, and never saw another therapists again. I didn't
want to start a new relationship with another pdoc and having to open up all
over again and tell mystory. I was tired. I was moving forward andthis was
a big step back.
I know you are lonesome, I know you want

Maybe it's different for men and women, I dunno.. .but I get the feeling
that for single moms, it's harder to find men that do like kids, at least
right off.. ..but then when they do, men always want to be in that kids
life - and forever. ..it's easy to take on that uncle role. there isn't
huge pressure to be daddy. I find, being a single father, that women do
tend to initially find my position an attractive one, I'm obviously mating
material.. ..and on the same note, intimidating for already being in control
of the parenting role.. ..but also, women seem scared to take on the mother
role with a child that isn't their's. The mother role takes the highest
pinnacle in parenthood-dom.. ..and I think that most women are completely
fucking scared to attempt to sink into it, even if there's no pressure to..
...at least the women I know my age. There doesn't appear to be an
uncle-aunty reciprocity. But that's my (pessimistic) and biased
perceptions.. =)
In any case, I haven't had an easy time of finding *any* girls who seek my
sons company of their own accord. Not that he's not adorable or sweet or
loving or cuddly, (he is very affectionate). Maybe as we all get older..
Therapists, I had one I thought was great. He helped me a lot,

over again and tell mystory. I was tired. I was moving forward andthis
was
a big step back.
that really sucks..
I've been through several of them.. ..very briefly.. ..I probably didn't
really even give them a chance. I just hate the.. ..artificial, clinical,
detached feeling.. ..objectifying my very personal and unique circumstances.
I guess I'm just resistive to treatment.
Anytime hon. Wish it could have been real, I love hugs, I love human
contact and I'm a touchy feely person.
me too =)

Hey you, that was very sweet.
I was thinking about this about a month ago, but it's seems as though broken
people tend to attract broken peope,why? Im not sure but it does happen.
At least to me.
Ok here is one for you. My ex-husband had 5 children. He was 8 years older
then I we married when I was 25 years old. Almost a life time ago, lol.
J/K. Anyway his oldest at the time was 15 his youngest 6 months old. He
was an over the road truck driver and I was the mother of two very small the
children at the time. I love his children as if they were my own, and today
should they call me, they'd call me MOM, even after our divorce.
He still couldn't remain faithful.

probably because 'normal' people smell fear and insecurity and steer clear
of it based on our society's expectation for strong independance and
individualism. the word "community" doesn't mean the same thing it used

that's really awesome.. ..I hope I can meet a girl like you, who isn't
intimidated by having kids around, and more importantly, doesn't go out of
her way to avoid interaction with my son, (like my last ex). I'm kind of
counting on it at this point.. ..I suppose. After a period of shutting my
heart off from the world that is.
He still couldn't remain faithful.
what a dumb-*****. people who cheat on me get kicked to the curb without a
second thought now. I've let it go on two separate occasions, tried to work
it out.. ..and it was a mistake - once you prove you're a doormat, it's just
over - forget about being respected ever again. I've never cheated on
anyone except a highschool gf of 2 weeks. I broke up with her right after,
and never told her.. ..I found out later she'd cheated on me during that
time anyway. so, oh well. I carry no guilt.

past or a foreigner in a strange country. No one ever
fucking comes over to visit me at night any more, (even my
last gf would only stay over about once a week - because
she didn't want to be involved with ds at all).
On top of all this, I just moved and am experiencing some
major financial problems. Also, have student loans to
start paying back, as I decided to take a break after 4
years of physics/quantum/astro.. ..as it was beginning to
break my mind when mixed with the stresses of a screaming
child. But now I'm screwed..
I feel like there is no recourse for me to find myself, to
build up my life. It is falling down all around me. I'm
completely alone. I'm so frustrated, angry, tired, worn
out, horny, I need a hug. I feel like I deserve so much
more. Rearing a child isn't meant to be done alone.
All I've ever done is give and give.. ..when do I get mine?
I feel like I've been the "nice guy" forever.. ..some part
of me feels about ready to snap and become a huge *****.
Either that or find a nice spot on a bridge and take a
flying lesson..
anyway. Thanks for reading.. ..I think I've gone on long
enough.

so sorry about the breakup. is there any way that it's all
hormonal, that she'll warm up later, or does she have real
reasons for not wanting to be with you at all?
i hope things work out with ds's mother. sounds like a
horrible situation. can you get a restraining order, so that
she can't go near him without a court-approved supervisor?
i hope things work out with both situations.

Just have to tell someone about what's going on in my life. I feel so
lonely, and I don't know who to talk to.
Too many things to detail. I'll just glaze over..
My girlfriend of nearly 10 months and I just broke up. Things were going
wonderfully between us, until she got pregnant.. ..while on the pill. It
wasn't really something either of us were happy about, but it really just
seemed to change everything for her.. ..she desperately wanted to feel/be
independant, and lost *all* interest in physical contact of *any* kind..
..nevermind sex. She says she feels that *I* deserve better than her, and
has very effectively pushed me out of her life.. ..she's told me that I seem
to never be satisfied with her, and that it is I who have essentially broken
up with her.. ..though she desperately wants my friendship and help with
the baby in the future. I've done everything to assure this girl and to be
there for her, as I'm still so in love with her.. ..and willing to be a
father.. ..but she's just completely cold and aloof and indifferent. She
doesn't want a relationship any more. I just don't understand. My heart's
in shards over this.. ..this complete reversal. She's also been very
inconsistent, saying extremely out-there and contradictory things but then
taking them back, regardless of my reaction in either direction, (eg: "I
need you!", "I think we should move in together when the baby comes").
She's *now* being completely noncommunicative and mysteriously silent. It's
been 2 months since we were intimate in *any* way, even just
conversationally, and not at any lack of effort on my part. I think that
most girls in her position would be excited to have a bf who's gonna
balls-up to be a father. Anyway, maybe I'd be able to handle this a little
better.. ..if it wasn't confounded by other things. Things that are also
likely affecting this..
My ex.. ..mother of my 2yr old son has just resurfaced. It's been nearly 9
months since she last lived in the same timezone as her son, nevermind
visited him, or even attempted much contact (3 phone calls). What happened
9 months ago is that her and her bf attempted to dissapear with my son in
tow, not letting anyone know where they were headed (effectively kidnapping
him). I managed to simply *luck out* and caught up with them. Immediately
took the matter to court. She missed *3* court hearings regarding custody
of our son, and I ended up, (to my joy and relief), with sole custody and
guardianship of him. Her display of negligence when dealing with the courts
is exemplory of her way of dealing with life's problems in general.
Anyway. blah-dee-blah. This woman, who was extremely physically, verbally
and psychologically abusive toward me when we were in a relationship, is now
attempting to bully her way back into her son's life. She demands
visitation with him. Although I do want my son to know his mother, it is
more than a hassle for me to have to arrange the necessary supervised visits
for her.. ..and then I worry when his behaviour takes such drastic turns
after seeing her. I know this is to be expected.. ..but her visits are so
irregular and brief that I wonder if it could ever *not* be a dysfunctional
experience for my son to go through. And besides all of that. She's a
fucking horrible psychotic ***** of a person.. ..she's a compulsive liar,
manipulative, and I suspect bordering on schizophrenia, or some other acute
psychoses.. ..and I just wish she would get her head examined for once and
for all. I'm actually looking into ways to somehow convince the courts
request/demand a psych. analysis of her, before granting her any legal
rights.
I have delt with stuff like this for 38 freakin YEARS, off and on, and
now perminately off. BLOCK her anyway you legally can, if you care
anything about that childs quality of life, now or in the future!!!
Believe me, that child and everybody else will thank you for it. And
she might not be any/much better on meds IF she even takes them. And
they are not lies if she is schiz, they are delusions, and a hell of a
lot of help that may be to the reciever. ( I KNOW )
The above is just my honest opinion, from my own experiences. Consult
competant legal advice before acting on the above.

there's some support groups for family mmbrs of
ppl with disorders leading to psychosis in NYC
(NAMI, MDSG) you might try there. an ex is
still a family member (alas) when there are children.

Unfortunately, sometimes. Until they grow up, and get damn tired of it
destroying any more of their life, and put a stop to it perminately, by
rightly "divorcing" the defective and destructive baby factory. After 4
therapy sessions wasted on stratagies of dealing with it, because she
is a relative, I choose to cut all communication with her perminately,
just to survive. Enough damage is enough damage, and nothing will or
can *ever* make up for it!

hmm.. .food for thought.. .that last one..
I live in Canada.. ..so, I think its a little different here. I have right
to deny or grant her all access, as I have full custody and guardianship.
Unless she tries me in court for some kind of rights of her own. But then,
a precedent's already been set by her kidnapping.. ..and she's very likely
to lose.

thanks u2b.. ..I dunno about her.. ..to be honest, she's been through a
lot herself.. ..past sexual abuse, abusive boyfriends.. ..a
schizophrenic friend of many years who ended up exploiting her family and
continues to smear and libel her.
We're both kinda doormat type personalities.. ..and both seem to attract
needy or exploitive people. I think she's just kinda curling up in a ball
right now.. ..but I don't really know. I can't seem to warm her up to
opening, and poking her with a stick hasn't worked either.
doing my best with ds.. .thanks!
