Baby Daddy

I fell in love with the man who fathered my first child. The one who is my baby daddy. He promised me that he would never hurt me but in the end that was one big lie. My baby daddy hurt me in many ways. The man told me that he loved me and cared about me. Well all of that was a lie. My baby daddy was a 21 yr old who was married and had 2 other kids. Worse of all he forced me to sell my body at the age of 15. I was a run away at the time but quickly turned myself in for I could not allow myself that pain. I spent 2 weeks in Juvie in the Bronx, but as I sat there I could not get him outta my mind. It was as if he was sewn in there and I could not remove him. I called him a month after I found out I was pregnant and of course he didnt believe me. I didnt understand what I had did wrong, I mean here was the man who told me he loved me yet didnt believe what I told him. I knew I was not supposed to have contact with him because I was 15 and he was 21 but I did any ways. I thought that having his child would change his mind and make him want me. I lost contact with him for 3 months and during that time I was still very obsessed over him. When he called again we stayed in contact, his daughter was born and although he could not be there he said that he wished he could have. My baby daddy promised me that if for any reason I ever lost our daughter to the state he would claim her. The state took our daughter and of course he didnt step up. I fell in love with my baby daddy and fell back outta love with him.
