I got married after I turned 16. I didn't have much of a family and liked his. So I thought I was doing the right thing. A year later I had my son. I can tell you no 17 year old is ready to have a child. I had a lot of help from my inlaws though. Then I had my second son when I was 21. I divorced my husband 2 years later. He was a lazy man too and only worked for money for alcohol and drugs. He didn't care if we had food or anything else. My oldest son is 20 and is an EMT so I think he turned out well even though I was such a young mom. My sons have nothing to do with their father though. And he has 2 more sons by different women. I wish I had waited and picked a better father for my children. But their stepfather is good to them. I told my sons to wait until they are financially settled before starting a family. |
