okay slow down he's a bum im sorry but he is time to be harsh can you get anything from the state is he getting the dole have this child but put it in to adoption or fostercare go get help form teh services please. as for him he has the money the spend it on booze or drugs but barely any to feed the kids. i know you love him and all that but at the end of the day you have to think what is right for the kids do you have a mum or firend or somebody you can move in with your 28 not dead. so if you do have friends or family live with them go to night school it going to be rough i tell you that you have to think of the little ones now. once their sorted then you can handle the rest either that or you be going around in circle.

just remember you still think about that abortion that happen years ago could you go through that again

I guess it's either one or the other having a full time job when you have kids, depending on the children's age anyway. But it's normally the father who should be having the full time job.

Talk to him! Tell him how you feel. Communication is key.

Also, don't do anything you don't want to.
