Raising a child alone?

[Anonymous]

my boyfriend is a naval engineer and he doesn't come home for months. so when I got the news of pregnancy, I didn't know what to do. Even if we are together, the idea of ​​raising the child alone is difficult. what should I do?

well if he's working then at least you have the financial support from him which is highly important but i believe you'll make a good mother and you'll manage to raise your child just fine, s long as the father is involved in your childs life then i believe your fam will be just fine, i recommend you do speak to your husband and see if you can find other solutions to involve him a bit more in yours and your childs life, communication is key in a healthy relationship and how you feel about situations is included.

You're in the same boat (pun intended) either way. If you keep him as your boyfriend then, yeah, he'll be gone some. It's hard and it sucks (I was in the Navy for 22 years -- I know) but you still have the baby's father in your/baby's life. But if you bail, you have no one unless you chance on Sunday me one who doesn't wants to take on a single mom.

You decided to get pregnant by him knowing his job.

Just try to be the best mom you can til his navy career is over and he can help you raise your kid.

I didn't expected the pregnancy actually it was not planned

If you weren't using contraceptives and he was finishing in you constantly then you knew what can happen.

You're not 5 years old.

Take the responsibility of your choices/decisions.
