I want to get back together with my oldest son’s father. Neither one of us has custody of our son, but he lives with a great foster family, and he knows them as mom and dad. I have a second son on the way and is due in June by another guy, but he was never around at home or anything because he didn’t like being home, and he was always “busy.” My oldest son’s father and I have been talking for a few weeks, and we both want to get back together, but every time we tried in the past, it never worked out. I’m scared to see where this leads because I’m scared of getting hurt or left for another girl again. I need advice on what to do.

You answered your own question, it never worked out and It’s most likely not gonna work out this time either.

If you have tried to get back with this person several other times. (As you have stated in your own question) then I suggest the answer being you dont get back with him again to only be lead on and hurt. Seriously save yourself the hurt and find someone whom actually cares about you and your baby coming into the world.

It’s hard for anyone to say since we don’t know all the details of your past relationship with him. It sounds a bit like things weren’t good between you guys so it may be best to move on in that case.

Do not continue this cycle. I did for 7 years. I finally left. I’ve been in a happy healthy relationship for the last almost 3 years.
make sure you put that 2nd kid up for adoption, maybe see if your oldests sons parents want him. oh and get your uterus taken out after you give birth this time.

Why dont you just focus on getting your son out of foster care? Da fuck is wrong with you?
Instead of focusing on any man, try focusing on your children. Priorities. If it was me I would be doing anything I could to get my son back. Not sit here and be focused on finding a man.

Yikes. I’d worry about having a relationship with my son before trying to be with someone you already know isn’t going to work. You’re pregnant again. Take care of you and that baby… and not a man that clearly didn’t help you take care of the child you two had together.

How do I say this without being rude…your number one thing should be getting your stuff together and getting your first son back before ever getting pregnant again. That relationship with the first sons father will not work because you clearly are not grown up enough for a mature relationship yet. Please go get therapy and use birth control until you get your life together. Why would anyone bring a second child into this world when you cannot provide and care for the first one. I’m not trying to be mean I’m a mother of 4 couldn’t live without any of my children by my side

It’s easy to fall back into old patterns.
If you left for a reason then don’t forget those reasons. People are capable of change but I feel like while you’re pregnant probably isn’t the best time to sort through that type of thing. You’re hormonal and emotional… id say focus on your little one, get your son back and slowly build a FRIENDSHIP with the ex. If you’re dead set on figuring out if it’s worth going back to him you need to go slow girl. Don’t put yourself through too much while you’re carrying. You don’t need the stress

If youre going to do that you need counseling. From day one. If you both want it to work you need to put in the work. Adding a baby to the mix is disastrous. It sounds like you need individual and together guidance if youre going to have a real shot at it

You want to try to get back with an ex that sounds like needs to stay in the ex department. You need to think to yourself why don’t u have your son or why isn’t he with his father .will you be able to support and take care of the child your pregnant with are will he or she end up also in foster care . Also you say your oldest is in foster care and calls them mom and dad how long has he been there ,do you not visit u should be trying to get your life in order to be a better parent for both children the oldest you don’t have and the one your pregnant with.they should and always be your first priority not some man.
Isn’t getting your child back more important and besides wanting to get back with your ex be like digging up a pet that’s died and keeping it.
This is a joke right?

You’re afraid of getting hurt but imagine how your child in foster care feels, that’s who you need to be concerned about getting back with
Really consider refraining from continuing to get pregnant by these different men because you’re only going to make it hard for yourself & even harder for your children

Um you don’t have custody of your first child and neither does his “father” aka sperm donor and you seem perfectly fine with not having him and him being in “a good foster home”, you are pregnant again by someone not in your life, and you’re only concern is should you get back with baby sperm donor #1? How about going to a psychiatrist to see why you are seemingly fine with birthing children by random guys and then giving them away? That’s something you might want to address. While you’re at it, talk to them about the ramifications of giving up said child and probably giving up the one you’re knocked up with now. Women like you irritate the hell out of me. Quit breeding since you obviously aren’t equipped enough to have common sense.

Worry about getting your son back first. That should be your one and only top priority besides your unborn child. Imagine how your son feels knowing that men come before he does and that a baby his own sibling gets to see you and he doesn’t. Stop thinking about yourself first and think about your kids. Before you get that baby taken away next. After the baby is born consider birth control or getting fixed. If you can’t grow up and take care of your kids you sure as hell don’t need more.

Sounds like your son has been in foster care for quite some time since he calls them mom and dad! Id defiantly not get back with your ex and focus on being in your child’s life. If you have family try to get on your feet and be the best mom you can be to this new baby. Your children are completely innocent children looking to be loved and taken care of by “you”. You don’t have to be with anyone!! If I were you id start going to counseling for whatever problems you have. Get the help you need for yourself and for your kids. Its not fair to them if you keep this up. And trust me I know because I lost all 3 of mine. Its been 7 years I am involved but every single day I regret my behavior and losing them! Don’t do that. You can make better choices don’t live and learn just please listen and do what’s best for all of you.
Focus on being stable and don’t get back with your son’s father. It is obvious that the relationship was a dysfunctional one and y’all getting back together is more of a codependent situation. Find new hobbies and discover bright areas of your life. I wish you the best of luck

Do you want him or your son? You didn’t say if the relationship drama caused the loss of your son, but if it has, absolutely not. Your only goal should be getting your life together to bring your son home. He needs his mother. Forget everything else.

No judgment, god knows none of us are perfect nor make all the right choices in life; However respectfully, you really need to focus on becoming self sufficient for you and your children. Partners are great; but, they come and go. You’re priority should be preparing for your new bundle of joy.

From the sound of your post it seems like you both may want to try to raise the baby and have the chance you both lost. As someone who has been there I wouldn’t recommend it. I also realize raising children on your own is a scary thought as well. No one wants to be alone. Only you can decide but take this into consideration before you make a decision… why did it not work out the first time… remember the bad times… emotions always get the best of us…
