Hi! I'm 21 years old and due to an unlikely chain of events i became a father 5 days ago without previously knowing about it.The baby is with my ex girlfriend, who is still living with her family. We're getting along fine and I've talked to her on the phone everyday since she got the baby.After totally freaking out for a couple of days I'm kind of ok now. I think I'm ready to tell my parents tomorrow..Luckily my ex has enough money to care for the baby for the foreseeable future, so I don't have to get a job immediately and can continue with my studies. I do feel kind of guilty because I'm not really doing anything for her or the baby (we do live approx. 1.5h apart). Really, she's managing everything and her family is super supportive which I am extremely grateful for.I'm still struggling with the thought what kind of father i will be. I dont really know what i should do or what i am expected to do. I'm not ready for having a child.. I just moved out from my parents 2 years ago, and can barely take care of myself hahaFortunately I'm not officially registered as the father. So I'm not legally obligated to care for the kid. But I'm thinking maybe thats something I'd like to do in the future.Maybe some of you have been in a similar situation? Any advice is very much appreciated!
