On Saturday, to celebrate the fact that I could *even though I didn't really want to* I went to a party at my friends. I double and triple checked that James wasn't there, since they are friends with him as well. Was told by everyone that he had left about 30 mins before.
My friend and I went, I grabbed a beer and chatted a few minutes. It was just weird being there, I was really worried that he might show up again ... I just got an uneasy feeling. So I left.
When I went outside, my friend was standing by a car. I ran over to talk to him, even though the girl I was with told me not to, to just go *it was cold outside* I should have listened. James was sitting in the car.
It turns out he was waiting to talk to me, outside for 45 minutes. Everyone at the party thought he had left, but no ... he hadn't.
It was to cold to talk outside, so I invited him back to my place. I really needed a drink at this point, so he drove me home. Both friends outside at this point made me promise to not kill him. We got back to my place and talked for an hour and a half. He apologized, said a whole bunch of stuff ... includind asking me to move in with him in an apartment.
He says he's going to get the paternity test done, that he plans on paying child support. I don't believe him ... I really don't. But, it would be nice if he was being truthful and honest about everything. Needless to say ... I don't think he is.
Michael ended up coming over after James left. I was really just ... miserable after he left. We had a few good laughs about it ... Michael thinks he's being honest, but then again, Michael doesn't know him. It would be great if he was ... just amazingly great.
Moral of the story ... don't go to parties. EVER.
Child support decision made for me

If he does the paternity test and pays the child support, great, if not... it's you and Julie then, and, you ARE a family now!

Your responsibility is to yourself and your daughter. Make any decisions based on confidence in yourself and your ability to take care of yourself andf your daughter if necessary! Walk with your head up! You don't need to avoid facing anyone. Be straighforward in your dealings with James and tell it like it is!
There is nothing wrong with going to a party. Why should you feel uncomfortable about anything! You do what is best for you and your daughter! You can and will make it and be the kind of person you want ot be. As my brother is forever telling me, "There is nothing to it but to do it"!

He admitted that he felt wonderful when he went to work yesterday and the girl who was our server the other night told him he had a beautiful daughter.
