I don't know what to do! Ryan had to go to the hospital last night and he is sick. I have also been sick. I called Dusty (Ryan's daddy) and asked him if he would come stay a couple nights with us and help me out some today. He said he didn't know but probally and to call him back at 2 so that he could come. Well I called back at 2 and he wasn't home. So then I kept tryin to call. Finally I talked to his brother and he said that Dusty is stayin the night with his friends! I'm so pissed off! His son is here sick and he acts like he don't care! He would rather be with his friends. Here I am 15 yrs old takin care of an 11 month old baby by myself! He is 18 and he don't even try! I'm tired of his shit, so I made a big decision. I've decided that I don't want him to have anything else to do with us. Is this right? Let me know what you think!
I think that you need to do what is best for you and your baby. That's awsome that you made that decision, it sounds like you are really empowered and looking out for your best interest!
i think you already know your doing the right thing. im sorry your baby was sick, honestly sounds like that man is running scared. sad because in this world responsibility cant be out run. if you feel leaving him would make you happier than by all means. good riddence to bad rubbish. ya know

wow, that sounds like a rough time, i'm sorry you guys are so sick.
if you are happy with your choice, then i think it's a good one. if he calls and asks to come over, what will your response be? if he is going to keep letting you and the baby down, i don't think you owe him any favors, which is a trap a lot of us fall into. we wind up doing everything to have them see their kids, while they do nothing.
maybe him realizing that you are tired of the way he's acting will help him get his priorities straight. if he starts to seem like he's going to do his part of the parenting without you having to force him, how do you think you'll react then?
best of luck with your choice, and i hope you and Ryan feel better!
the only thing i have to say... is be careful w/ the legalities of your decision. in other words, don't keep your child away so much that the father can say that you have denied him access to his child or you may be looking at more than just him being absent when your child is sick, it could be that your child is absent from you when he is sick too. but whatever you decide, i support... i've been there.
