Default So I'm going to be a dad...

Here's the deal. My girl is 2 months pregnant. I don't think I am ready to be a dad but I am accepting the fact that it is going to happen soon no matter what. She is going to have the baby for sure no matter what so I am being as supportive as I can and I have the support of my family and everything. The problem is that I am 22 years old, just starting my second year of college and barely have an income to support myself. Not only that but she lives 3 hours away in the Bronx and may not be able to get a transfer to Albany to live with me. I was really debating whether or not to post this but honestly, I don't have a lot of people to talk to about it other than my family and sometimes you just want to let your friends know. So... How do I do this?

Well yeah, I had that in mind... But I am nearly positive that it is my kid. I mean, we've been seeing each other for a year and all (we've known eachother for a little longer than that though).

If you plan on being with her, then it sounds like you have more flexibility on where you can live. Knowing you for a bit, I think you'll be okay. You've got a good head on your shoulders and a good heart.

Holy damn, Pete!

Guys with class will do the right thing (and you know what I mean), however if you aren't ready at all...I'm sure she isn't either. Talk about it quick.

Nearly positive isn't the same as 100% sure

Seriously though, I have no real advice, but good luck
