I was 21 when I met him. He was charming, funny, and looked good on paper. He had a good job, drove a nice car, and was well-spoken.
I thought I had found the one; someone I could build a life with. I had big dreams and aspirations for the future, and I was sure he was the one who could help me achieve them.
Little did I know, he wasn’t the one for me.
I got pregnant when I was 22. We decided to keep the baby, and I moved in with him. He said he wanted to take care of us, which was music to my ears.
I was so excited to finally have someone who could help me take care of my child and provide us with a good life.
But he was unreliable and couldn’t be counted on. He would say he was working long hours and stay out late, but always had not enough money.
I was left taking care of our child on my own.
His lack of responsibility and unwillingness to help me with the child was too much for me to handle.
He also had a drinking problem and would come home late at night, always dead drunk.
I was scared of him and worried about how he would act around our child. I felt like he was a danger to us both and I knew I had to make a change.
So one day, I decided to leave him. I packed up our things and moved out with our baby. I knew it was the right thing to do, even though it was hard for me to leave him behind.
I’ve been on my own for a few months now, and I’m doing better than ever. I have a job and a place to live, and I’ve been able to provide for my child without any help from him.
I’m so proud of myself for being able to do this, and I’m thankful that I was able to make this decision.
I’m much happier now that I’m no longer relying on him. He was unreliable and couldn’t be counted on, and I’m glad I realized this before it was too late.
I’m relieved that I was able to take care of our child on my own and provide us with a better life.
It was hard to leave him, but it was the right thing to do. I’m glad I made the decision to leave him and am now living a better life without him.
