DEAR ABBY:

I am 21 and recently had a baby with "Danny," a guy I've never exactly dated, yet we continue to sleep together. He's gone through two girlfriends since I've known him, but he always comes back to me. I love Danny, but I know the feeling is not mutual. Should I try to get over him and move on, or should I hang in with the man I love?

-- WISHING AND HOPING IN DELAWARE


DEAR WISHING AND HOPING:

Please see a counselor. You need to explore why you have allowed yourself to be treated so poorly. Since Danny has never given you any reason to think you are anything more than a nocturnal convenience, it is best that you move on. However, before you do so, consult a lawyer about establishing child support and visitation because Danny does not appear to be a person who will shoulder his obligations willingly.


Dear Sucker:

You are 21 years old, and it's pretty damn obvious that you haven't the brains that the gods gave a gnat. If you can't see that to "Danny" you are nothing but a booty call in the night, you are too stupid to live.

My advice? You have fucked up your life, but it's no reason to fuck up your kid's. Put the kid up for adoption so that he has a chance to be raised in something beyond grinding poverty. If you think "Danny" is going to ante up child support for this kid, you have your head up your ass. Next, get yourself sterilized, so if you insist on continuing to be such an idiot, at least you won't be responsible for anybody but yourself.
