A one-night stand left me pregnant and the baby’s father has disappeared

Dear GhanaWeb,

I’m a 25-year-old woman who was forced to leave my uncle’s house after refusing his inappropriate advances. I’ve been staying with a friend for over three months because I can’t afford to rent an apartment yet. I’ve known her since childhood, and we both attended the same secondary school.

I’m more of an introvert and don’t really enjoy social gatherings. One day, my friend invited me to a house party at an apartment on the island. Knowing that I’m not the type to attend parties, I initially declined.

I told her I wasn’t interested and tried to give excuses, but she managed to convince me. I finally agreed to go, figuring that after being indoors for two weeks, a little fun might not hurt.

On the day of the party, I was so nervous I almost turned back. When we arrived at the venue, we met a guy at the entrance, and my friend greeted him with a side hug

The guy then asked if I was the friend she had mentioned, and my friend confirmed. I was a bit confused, I didn’t realize my friend had talked about me with her friends.

The guy welcomed us and told me to let him know if I needed anything. I took a moment to look around and observe the scene. The room was a little crowded, and the music was blasting loudly.

The air was thick with the smoke of weed and shisha, which made me uncomfortable, but I figured since I was with my friend, I should try to relax a bit. It was better than being alone.

My friend later brought over some alcohol and offered me a drink. I only had a little, just enough to handle, because I know I’m a very light drinker.

It seemed like everyone was having a blast, including my friend, so I got up from the couch and started moving my body slowly to join in the dancing.

One of the guys handed my friend some pills, and she took one. She then offered me one, but I declined. She gave me an awkward look and told me I should stop being childish. I asked her what the pill was for, and she said it would lighten up my mood.

I smiled and took the pill, looking at her for reassurance. She nodded, giving me the signal that it was safe.

I swallowed it with the alcohol I was holding, taking quite a bit. My friend then whispered in my ear that she’d be right back and left me alone. After she left, I started feeling off, I was getting drowsy. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves, but it didn’t help.

Suddenly, I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around and realized it was the guy who had welcomed us at the entrance. He reintroduced himself, and we started talking. He noticed I was drunk and weak, so he asked that I follow him to his room to relax or sleep if I wanted.

I agreed and went with him. He asked if he could stay in the room with me to keep me company. A few minutes into our conversation, he started touching me in a romantic way, and we ended up kissing.

I was so drunk that I didn’t know what I was doing, but guess what? We ended up having sex. He said a lot of sweet things that made me fall for it.

As soon as we were done, my friend showed up and told me it was time to go home.

A month later, I started feeling uncomfortable and kept vomiting, so my friend suggested I take a pregnancy test.

The result came out positive, and I was completely confused. The guy and I hadn’t been in touch, so why was this happening?

The worst part was that I didn’t get his contact information that night, and he never called or texted me after taking mine. I started crying, not knowing what to do or how to even find him.

My friend told me that since I’m pregnant, she cannot accommodate me anymore and I need to move out in a few days.

It hurts, especially since she was part of how I ended up in this situation, but I tried to stay calm.

I then asked her for the guy’s contact since they are friends, and she told me she used to have it, but not anymore.

I’ve since been searching on all social media platforms, but I haven’t found anything. I also don’t have any money to rent a place.

I’m helpless and devastated. What should I do now?
