I'm 8 weeks preg. And the babys father left

Home More advice Love & Relationships

Hello,

I am 19 years old and I am over 8 weeks pregnant. The baby's father I guess couldn't handle the situation so he has left me. I plan to keep the baby anyway because I don't really believe in abortion much. But I think my family will disown me if they know I will be a single mom. I haven't spoken to the child's father in a few weeks now. He was supposed to be getting money for me to have an abortion but I've decided that I don't want one. So, he doesn't quite know yet that I will be keeping the baby and I don't want to tell him till he comes up with the money. What should I do after the baby is born? Like I know he has to pay child support but what if he doesn't. I don't really have money for the baby and myself led along some lawyers and court. Sometimes I get scared because I'm all alone and don't know what to do because I am too scared to tell anyone besides my closest friends. Please help!!
