Yeah, that burns. I know. You think that you are a person they love and it turns out you were nothing but a status symbol of some type. My children were not planned so when I read this and am jealous of someone who got to plan a child I remember there is always more to the story. And it is sooo much his loss

So right. He's a giant ego maniac -- something I absolutley can not stand in a man anymore.

Right on!

Right on!

Whoa!

That man needs a stiff kick in the ass, Faith! But, I am not surprised. Men hold their status in very high regard. And if anyone, pregnant or not, threatens their very fragile image that they have of themselves, they completely lose it. You are so very blessed to be rid of him -- selling a baby! What next? Shame on him!! Shame!! Shame!!

What is even more amazing to

What is even more amazing to me is how we can recover and lift ourselves out horrible situations and realize our own self-worth. That alone is something to be celebrated. CM

When my ex and I were in the process of splitting up we'd get into arguments and say some really nasty things to each other. Who hasn't been there, right?

I remember one argument in particular, solely because of the cutting things that he said to me, and how even now, a year and a half removed, it still stings.

I can't remember specifically what we were arguing about, but I'm sure it had everything to do with the fact that he was leaving me, pregnant, and abandoning our son.

A quick recap for those of you that haven't read all of my past blogs: Levi lost a significant amount of money when I was six months pregnant, and rather than owning up to it and figuring it out as a couple, he decided to leave, move to Los Angeles, and work out out a plan to earn it back.

He told me, at six months pregnant, that my options were to either raise my son by myself, or put him up for adoption. He was pushing the adoption thing (even though my son was a planned pregnancy), and once even went as far as to tell me that I could "get a hundred grand for a white Jewish baby."

So, we're arguing about all of this (and please keep in mind that I'm pregnant, very hormonal, and completely distressed), and a bunch of things were said, which led to me calling him a loser. Well, apparently calling Levi a loser is the most inflammatory thing you can call him, because he then said to me the worst thing he's ever said to me.

It went like this: "Loser!?!" he screamed. "How dare you call me a loser! I've made millions of dollars in my life, gained the respect of hundreds of celebrities and powerful people. What have you ever accomplished in your life, Faith?" Before I could answer him, he said, "All you've ever done is get pregnant — that, and you look pretty good."

Ouch.
