I cant help but feel like such an idiot for letting this happen to me. Im now days away from my due date and he changed his number. Mind you after being sure to make the last 9 months a living hell for me with his conflicting decisions. I found out I was pregnant while he was deployed. He reassured me over and over again that we were going to make this work. That he loved me. We met in Maine and he is from Ohio. I had to move back to Ct because my family was here and it made it easier to live financially. He was supposed to come here when he got bac and we were going to move to Ohio since he was going to be out of the navy for good. the whole time he was deployed he would call me and accuse me of cheating on him... he would call in horrible moods..one day hed b fine and say he wanted the baby the next he would be telling me to put it up for adoption (those conversations would kill me) then he would apologize then get mean again.. it was a cycle and I made excuses for him like an idiot. I thought it was the stress of being over seas. Then he got back and had about 2 months left in the navy that he had to stay in maine for, he would not call me for days..then call and say he didnt love me, then call and say he did and wanted this to work. When I would call him (wich I tried not to do too often because I never knew what mood he would be in) he would tell me I was clingy or crazy. I have just found myself crying most of my pregnancy away. he never came to see me, then went straight to ohio, Where he called me and wanted to be with me again until he found himself a new girlfriend... at wich point threatend to take me to court for my son because now he wanted him , but he never ever even asked about him..or any doctors appointments or when i would want to talk about his name would act bothered and say to do what I wanted. Now he wont talk to me and doesnt want any part of our son..I feel so lost and confused, my parents are on my case becuase ive been severly depressed. I get waves of emotions, one minute im depressed and cant stop cryng, the next minute Im really mad and swear I hate him.. but the truth is im not over him..I just cant fathom how someone could be so mean. the things hes said to me just echo back round and round in my head. my son is going to be born within the next couple of days and im so scared to have to do this alone. Im just so broken at this point. anyone here ever gone through something similar?

Sympathy! Spouse abuse centers a full of women who will share similar stories. Call the local one for counseling. You have a self-cenetered and controlling male on your hands who is both mentally and verbally abusive. He will continue to make your life a living hell until you manage to shake loose. Your best immediate action is to change your own phone and 'net information so that he can find someone else to dump on soonest. Next, you need to figure out what it is in you that allowed you to become attracted in the first place. Usually this has to do with your own childhood, where abuse became confused with love. Enjoy your son, get counseling for post-partum depression if needed, let the memories of the past year fade away, and focus on a brighter future. Good luck in delivery!

Oh, honey. I soooo feel for you. Seriously? With a new little one, you CANNOT subject yourself to the kind of treatment he was dishing.

Do what Grandpa Viv says. Because I couldn't have said it better myself.

Best wishes for a healthy happy baby, and a healthy happy life.
