Quote oumomma: Ok, so let me share my whole story. When I was in high school I met this guy and we started dating. He was one of those guys that all of your friends tell you to stay away from (even his friends told me). He never hit me but he constantly lied and manipulated me to the point where I thought I was completely worthless and that I would never be able to do any better than him. He would cheat on me and somehow I would wind up feeling like it was my fault. He was my first and the only one I had ever BEEN with, so I knew nothing about men and what a real relationship was supposed to be like. But as much as everyone told me that I needed to be rid of him I just brushed it off and said you don’t know him like I do. It was all about sex for him but I was head over heals in love with him and that is how he wanted it. Things went on like this for 2 years and it got to the point where I was completely out of control. I was drinking, doing drugs, and I just didn’t care anymore about anything. He always knew how to push my buttons and he could start a fight and by the time it was over I was in tears begging him to forgive me for the way I treated him, he was extremely controlling and would tell me that I could talk to my friends because they hated him and would try to cause us problems. I finally got tired of it and decided that I was going to break up with him but he cried and threatened to kill himself, I lost count of how many times I tried to end it and the last time I tried he told me he thought I was pregnant (and I was). So I decided that I would try to make it work for the baby but I couldn’t do it. When I found out I was pregnant I quit drinking, doing drugs, and I quit a pack a day habit (I couldn’t do that to my baby). We got into a fight one day and I got tired of him pushing my buttons so I decided to push his, well any way the fight ended up with him slamming me into a wall and all I could do was laugh because I had pushed him to his limit and it scared him. I guess God decided that enough was enough because shortly after I had a dream about taking the baby to see him and when I went to get her the next morning she was in her car seat on the floor where I left her with his dogs barking at her and ashes in her car seat. Like I said it was a dream but that scared me enough to finally break up with him once and for all. He started stalking me and we went to court and I got a VPO so that he could not contact me and he never filed for visitations or anything (he has never seen her to this day). When my daughter was 4 months old I got a new job and met my husband and we started dating and he knew about my daughter. Well he wanted to take me to meet his parents (who are very strong Christians) and I was so scared. My husband is 6 years older than me, here I am 19 years old straight out of high school and I have a 4 month old baby.. The first time I met his mom she hugged me and never once asked about kylie’s biological father. Over the last 4 years they have welcomed me and my daughter into their family, my husband is the only father that she knows and my mother in law is in all reality the one that led me back to Christ. She is my best friend.
