Forgive?

Tweet

How far would you sacrifice yourself to forgive someone? Would you put aside your pain to give that person a second chance? Or do you believe that people don't change. Without going too much into detail, my son's father and I were together for 3 years. A few months before we learned of the pregnancy, we were talking engagement. I learned the hard way though...even if you've lived with someone, met their family,...created a life together- things can change. You never really know a person until stress shows their true colors. In the end, he decided he wanted nothing to do with myself or the baby. Almost 10 wks prego, I packed up my things and moved back across the country to where I grew up. Months of harassment and trying to talk things out seemed to worsen the situation. In the end he once again wanted no part...until he realized it was a boy. Then the aggressive harrassment began again. I finally filed papers and had him served...complete with a temp restraining order. I haven't heard from him since. It's ridiculous, I gave him what he wanted and he disappeared again. But what about if he shows up again? Aside from the safety issue, how do you decide to keep your son away from his father? I don't believe a guy to denounce his children to be a man. Would you forgive him?
