You are not alone, that's what everyone has been telling you. You are going to have to tell your folks at some point so now is just a good a time as any.
My mom got pregnant with me when she was a senior in high school, got married for all the wrong reasons. By the time I was 6 months old they divorced. She never asked him for anything. It's like he just walked away. She didn't want me going from home to home. Anyway, long story short, we are good friends. It was hard, I'll tell you that. She worked 2 and 3 jobs sometimes to keep us going. We lived on pancakes for a month another time. In the end, we did great and my mom is the world to me, but I wouldn't have faulted her one bit if she had placed me for adoption.
There will be many decisions for you to make and many ups and downs no matter what road you take. But you don't have to take it alone. Talk with your folks. You truly don't know what they will say or how they will act unless you tell them. I know that it seems like everything sucks right now but hang in there. You will survive and get through this. Remain positive and reach out. Don't keep this in. |
