my past

My name is Kelsie and I'm 23 years old. I have a wonderful fun loving almost 3 year old daughter,l Lauren. So anyway here is a little of my past that has gotten me to where i am now... I met a guy in high school who I thought was the man of my dreams, well think again girl you were wrong! I was with the guy for a total of eight yeas, we started dating in 8th grade and were engaged by 18. A year or so after we had gotten engaged I got pregnant. Yes I know not such a good thing but it did happen. I was dumb once and got the best blessing I could have asked for. After I had found out I was pregnant Greg and I were not on good terms, awhile later we decided to put our differences aside and work things out so we could be a family. Things went well up until my the second my daughter was born. It was like he had checked out of adult hood and went right back to being a nerdy teen. At this point I had had my 20th birthday and thought Greg would have matured a bit because he too had just turned 20 too. I was so wrong about that and it was only the begging to what was about to go down. I had never thought about what might happen if we didn't work out. I had never thought about what my daughter's life would be like if her dad wasn't in her life every day. These types of things had never crossed my mind. That night in the hospital I remember thinking to myself what the heck did I get myself in to. Once we had gotten home everything was left up to me to do and figure out. I took care of Lauren day in and day out with little to no sleep while keeping up on house work making Greg lunch and working. It had come to the point that Greg was not coming home or he would come home super late, take a shower and head to the basement to play video games. He was putting in little to no effort in to bonding with his daughter. It was breaking my heart. I had to get out because I knew it wasn't working and i had a feeling no matter how hard I try it would never work. It was herd to swallow when I first started feeling this way. This was not what I wanted fr my baby girl. I wanted a man who was going to be there for her and watch her grow and learn. So we went our separate ways...
