I read a few of the replies, Not all of them, honestly.
To you I say this. There are many forms of parenting. And a parent you will be. No two ways about that. You are now one of what you have relied on your last 18 years. the role is now yours. DO YOU REALLY WANT IT? Because if you Really do, You are going to make it happen. Want the kid to know you? BE THERE. Move to him/her. Change your job and be there. Yeah, thats right, you now owe child support. Go be with who you are supporting. Show him he is more than just a monetary responsibility.
The honest truth is you have a long and trying journey ahead of you. But it is absolutely the most rewarding thing you will ever do with yourself and your time. you may not be thinking of this child your every waking hour now, But as this child is a part of your life, throughout the years, You will find yourself doing nothing but. And you will love that child. then when that child is the age you are now, and so much sooner than you think, you will be so glad you made the decision to BE there with him/her.
You're a good kid for taking the time to ask a question like that. Its a hard choice for young people to make. Because it is a decision that lasts your whole lifetime. its permanent. once you accept the fact that you are a parent. your whole life is going to change. God Bless.
