writes: Hello everyone, I have a big problem; I have been with my boyfriend for over 3 years. I got pregnant only 3months after we met. At first things were fine but soon they started to change, he is only a few years older then me (26yrs old) but he acts like a kid. I have been studying thought my pregnancy and now I’m at university, as I put my son in nursery, he spends all his free time with his friends and makes a big deal about me asking him to help out with his son. My family hates him, and my mum things that I should leave him as he doesn’t do anything for me. I spent the first few years of the relationship crying because I couldn’t see my life without him, now I just feel sorry for our son. I never wanted to be in a relationship like this and I never wanted to be a single mother, what I should do. I should mention that he has a lot of personal issues and problems and I have tried to be supportive by not asking him anything about what he does and what his doing as he doesn’t like me asking, and do everything for our son, now I think that he has taken advantage of that. What should I do?
