i am not mad, but i can certainly see where you are comming from.
in my personaly case, i have a 9 (almost 10) yesr old son that i had never planned on haveing, basically i was with my sons father, i was 17 at the time and he desperately wanted me to have his baby, yes i was young, and yes i was nieve, but after months of pestering i gave in and we started trying for a child.
it didn't take long, i was pregnant almost instantly... yet at 3 months pregnant, he decided that he "didn't want the financial burden" and the "responibility of parenthood" and that he didn't love me. so i left, went home to my parent, got a house 1 month before having my son, so yes i was invaribly left holding the baby.
i am not bitter though, i am happy in the knowlege that I am the one that gets to see my son grow up, i am the one he comes to for support and love, i am the one that gets everything he needs, i am the one that is getting to see what a fine young man i helped to bring into this world. these are the things his so called father is missing out on, not me. so i am glad to be the one left holding the baby!

It does not happen in everyone's case. At least in our house, I take care of the baby, carrying him to whatever distance possible and shift the same to my wife. When she is tired, she hand over the same to me. If there is understanding nothing is problem.

Well, in my life, it isn't that way, as my husband and I are together. BUT, my good for nothing sister, walked away from her daughter and left my mom to raise her, and then 10 years later, walked away from her two little boys and left their dad to pick up the pieces. So, it is not always the dads that walk away.

I raised my 3 daughters without there father being involved and they are very well-rounded,smart, self supporting woman that I am very proud of, they are all mothers their selves and they are doing a fabulous job at it this also makes me proud as for being mad that takes to much energy you just have to do what needs to be done.Have a great day!
