Beyond the physical, and financial adjustments—how did you deal with the mental and emotional side? Especially, if you never dreamed you would be a single parent (as I’m guessing no single parent does) I am 26 y/o and 15 weeks pregnant with my first child. I have already berated myself enough as to why I would allow myself to get into this type of situation, but it is surely too late for regrets. Without sounding too full of myself, I think the hardest part for me to accept—is that I just didn’t think this would happen to a women like me. I mean, I’m not some eager teenager who was trying to get pregnant to prove my womanhood…I just made a mistake with a guy who I thought I could trust. Now that he has made it clear, that he wants nothing to do with me or the child—I feel trapped and bamboozled. I always dreamed I would be married to a man who loved me and wanted me to have his children, not some guy who hates me because I got pregnant. I just feel really angry. I have my bachelors, have been working full-time for 5 years post-college and am a very attractive woman—-now I feel I am just a statistic. How did you cope with giving up the fairy-tale? And did you feel insulted that a man could abandon you while pregnant with his child?

Hi we have a college kid and is going to a 4 year college but did not get a single scholarship. Just a few grants every year and we have lots of student loans too.

She did apply for some on fast web way at the beginning, But got discouraged at how difficult and time consuming they are to apply; plus with a part time job and full time classes, its not something that is appealing for her to do on top of other things.
My question is this: " Are there any scholarships that PARENTS can apply for so that they can go towards the tuition of the child?? I lost my job and will definitely have time to apply on her behalf and maybe get a few scholarships for her.
I dont know if anyone knows of this kind of thing but if you do, I would appreciate any info you may have. thanks

FYI, I am in the USA & she is getting her Bachelors in Animation in a 4 yr college accredited by any univ.
