Dear aunts and uncles,

I am going to try to sum this up in as little words as possible. My husband and I have been fighting a lot lately, both of us only being 18 and 20 with a baby on the way and almost here. We have jumpped from house to house since July, I found out I was pregnant in mid August, after already moving 3 times. He hasnt gotten a 'real' job in the last nine months and because I am 90 miles away from him staying with my mom in the best interest of the child on the way he has threatened me with filing for a divorice. He has filled his family's mind with a line of crap and they all believe that I am the one doing all of this. He has a HORRIBLE weed addiction, trading money his family would send for our unborn daughter for his addiction. I have put up with his crap only because I would like to believe that he will change. Nothing I say to him will make him step up and do what he needs to do to be able to provide for himself and the child he helped create. He believes that he is the victim in any and all instances, turning everyone else into the bad guy and making himself look like Mr. Perfect.

What should I do? I love the man with all of my heart, but on the flip side of that I have to look out for the best interest of my daughter.

I am greatful for any advice you can offer!

Entirely Unique agony auntI would just concentrate on yourself and the baby you have on the way for now, maybe the birth of your child could be his wake up call but I wouldn't hold your breath.

You're going through enough at the moment with the fact you're pregnant and life is about to change forever and you need his support not him to add extra stress and problems to the mix.

As I said, concentrate on yourself and your baby, if he wants to step up and wants to make this work he will do, you can't really make him and you shouldn't have to.
