Twelve Months ...Twelve Faces ,,,
They change so much in the first year.
Keep that camera close by..
A tough job but the most fulfilling you can have..
Cause nothing else really matters..
In the blink of an eye he'll be asking for help with Law School ..
You'll be broke ..
But grinning at your achievements ...
That's when you can cruise in your Z
Top down, sun in your eyes ..
Wind in your hair (or what's left of it)
Sweet ride !

Any man can father a child but it takes a real man to be a Dad. Well done on stepping up to the plate. Cherish the wonderful times - they grow up all too quickly.

wow again thanks everybody for such a positive repsonse, i think the hardest part for me was for men their is very very little support, so it was and IS a steep learning curve, the scary thing ANYbody can be in this position, its got soo much better , i wont lie, at the start i was crying like a baby reguarly with just pure frustration, many a night id be up 3 times then working and training from 6am, top off the baby was literally craving his mom, he just DIDNT want me, of course he wouldnt he just wanted the comfort of his mom,,,, jesus remembering those times... wow....
i wont lie i still have days where ill stop and think about whats happened and feel genuinely sad, still heartbroken i guess.... but finally...... light is at the end of the tunnel, the baby now sleeps all night, he just started to walk his first steps, and im slowly getting back to being myself..... thank god for helping me through.... i guess this situation will leave me with a very special relationship with my little boy..... i hope it does anyway.....
most of all its taught me a VERY important lesson about relationships..... you REALLY can be surprised by the person you spend to choose you life with....i will be very careful next time round.............

Well done Beedub - many men simply couldn't do what you have done. It's bad enough not being wanted by your son at first when you HAVE got a Mum for him... I always aspired to be the Dad mine was for me, couldn't work out what I was doing wrong, then realised that actually I was five before I have any clear memories of my Dad - for some reason nobody tells you how hard it is, or that you're pretty useless to the nurturing process for the first 6 months 
Mrs Bing was 7 months pregnant when we moved 6,000 miles away from her family in KL to a one bedroom rented flat in East Dulwich in London, in November of 1999. My family are all in Scotland, my mother passed when I was 21, and we were only 26 so ALL of my friends were still out having a laugh, on the razz, not a care in the world - none of them had any appreciation of our situation, unsurprisinly. We had no place to go for help, and man were those three years hard, for all of us. If she'd come from Kirkaldy not Kuala Lumpur then I'm not sure we'd have stayed together. Everyone has a different story, but I do know at least one universal truth - when you get it right, even a little, it feels better than any fast car or big deal or mad adrenalin rush or great night out or any other material pleasure. You're doing one of the most worthy things it's possible to do with your life and you are doing it well - you are right to be proud

Good luck - it's a tough road at times and I'm with Carol - lots of women doing this but good to hear a man responding this way.
Hope others get to read this and see the same - inspiring.
