Warning this is a long angry vent... But it ends well.
ok so im in a fb group for smbc's and a lady posted about having some negativity coming from f&f (friends and family) and it got me thinking. this is killing me. i dont seem to have any fans for this decision to have a child. i plan to move soon and no one seems to be thrilled about that either. i feel like im going against nature or something the way my f&f are acting. my dad originally didnt seem to have an issue when i told him but when i mentioned it to him again he literally laughed at me as if just the thought was so preposterous it brought about amusement. he joked about it being delivered to my door (not a cute stork joke either) he made comments about me not using a "black" donor and basically just made the whole thing sound ridiculous. my mother has a hard time with it because she struggled as a single parent and pretty much sees it as me purposely making her "mistakes". being a single mother on purpose without a man is inconceivable for her. friends think im crazy or want to tell me to wait, wait till im older wait on a partner wait to be married wait for them to wrap their heads around the idea wait to come to my senses. there are only about 3 people who say do whats gonna make me happy but even they tell me they think its a bad idea or to consider waiting or something along those lines. the ladies of my forums seem to be the only ones who understand how i feel about having a baby. im sure some of them even think i should wait but at least they understand wanting this so badly. i just want some one to say that this is a great idea and im doing a good thing. unfortunately hearing it from them just isnt the same as having that support and encouragement from f&f. with my dad i almost cried right there at the table and he didnt even notice. i felt about a millimeter tall. he was pretty much the main one who didnt lecture me or any of that but i guess he just didnt think i was serious so he didnt care enough to really say something. he had forgot and once he saw i was serious it was open season on my heart. i couldnt cry cus he just would have laughed more. hes mr army man tough guy. just cus you got a p*ssy doesnt mean you have to be one. hes the only person who ever told me to stop crying and suck it up. i was 7 and he only did it once but i swear i will never forget. who tells a little girl to stop crying especially when i was crying cus him and my mom were arguing and i couldnt get them to stop and i wasnt loud enough to yell over them. thats my childhood and ppl wonder why i want to use a sperm bank. him and my mom are still in and out of cs court and my sister will be 19 in march. thats why i told mr x even if he had said yes and wanted to be full on daddy i didnt want his money. eh i dont know. i dont think my family will be there even after i have the kid i dont know. im not naive i know i cant do it 100% by myself but i feel like im gonna have to build a network/family/support system and i dont trust ppl like that. not anymore and not with my child. has anyone else dealt with or are dealing with something similar? please tell me im not alone and that wanting this/doing this is ok. the reason i have little to no support system is cus instead of having an open mind everyone jumps to lecturing me or giving me their opinion or telling me what THEY would or wouldnt do. my ex basically did the same thing. he'll f*ck me give me a kid and say he will take care of the kid and be with me but what happens when i actually get preggers? how you gonna take care of my baby when youre not doing for the ones you have? smh and then turn on me when say i dont want to do it that way or deal with you possibly changing your mind. the things guys will say to f*ck i swear. i feel like they think im dumb or easily swoon cus they say theyll be my bd. if im telling you i dont want a relationship nor a baby daddy what makes you think promising those things will get me to let you f*ck. they dont listen and im not some cookie cutter b*tch who falls for that shit. i actually had a friend tell me to find some random guy and just not tell him or find a guy who will just fuck knowing and not care. i asked her why would i want to set someone up or fuck some guy who is a stranger but down to fuck knowing its to make a baby and not care? she said cus its cheaper. i wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. she was serious. shes also the one who literally called me crazy. my mom keeps trying to find me a job in nap even tho im moving in a couple months and hinting at the fact that she doesnt know when i plan on inseming... why do you care mom? she told me one of the reasons she doesnt want me to do it is cus she doesnt want to take care of my child if something happens to me. thanks mom.
the lighter side... because of all the negative i am gonna do my best to do whatever the hell i want. im learning and i see now that i cant please everyone and everyone seems to want the opposite of what i want. i cant believe it has literally come down to them vs me... they wont win this time. i will not be miserable for the sake of everyones opinion. i know this as been brought up before but for those who dont know, this is a tough process and for me its just getting started. once i start inseming that opens up a whole new section of this maze of emotions im in. i pray once the deed is done and im good and pregnant things will settle and ppl will come around but if it doesnt go that way ive got a plan. i always do and im prepared to build whatever i need to make this work wether it be a home or a support system. i leave you with this: you cant make everyone happy you cant please everyone you cant take care of everyone but at the end of the day if youre not happy if youre not pleased if you arent taking care of you then you are no good to anyone. its not selfish to want things for yourself and go after them. its not wrong to do want or believe something others may not. its not fair for you to feel like you are obligated to meet the needs of everyone but yourself. do what you can for others but dont forget yourself.
