wow what a shocker. u know i dont know to much about u and him but from what i see and hear is that he really wasnt ready. ill be honest when me and my wife had our 1st child i was just turning 24 and she was 22. it was really rough on me when it got within 1 month of having the child. i mean all my freedoms would be gone and so on. i did alot of bad things(not physical im not a monster) such as cause arguements in hopes that she would leave and all that. she never did. i was a bad person and didnt like it. well i chalk it up to not maturing when i was suppose to. but after we had our 1st child that night my wife and daughter got my full and undivided attention. i was in love all over again. the love u feel for a child when it is 1 st born is the best. im not sure if your hubby had some alterior motives but he is human and he is young from what i get. dont hate him for him wanting to separate. he will come back. he is just stressed out. im telling u i know its hard for a women but for a man that doesnt carry the baby we have alot of time to think and our minds plays tricks on us. maybe he is having doubts about being a good father. u know i did. i beleive most men at a young age have this issue. well i will put a hex on him and get him back to you. u should take advantage of any free help u can get. as for the wic and food stamps. hey food stamps comes now as a visa so u dont have to be embarressed. i suggest u have custody done thru a court whent he baby is born. as for your name u can change it send a pm to ndn and he will fix it for u. keep your head and remember u have your family and sometimes that is the best remedy. take care and be easy.
