Hello. I am needing help coming up with ways to tell my strict Christian parents that I'm pregnant. They've always enforced the belief "sex after marriage" into my life for as long as I can remember, telling me that the man God has for me is watching what I do and might turn away because of anything I do. I am adopted and I have two older brothers who are their biological kids. Anytime I make a mistake or do something wrong, they compare them to us and it hurts. Lately, my eldest brother and his wife are trying to conceive (have been for years now) and I feel that if I tell my parents, it'll steal the light from them. On top of it all, I'm anxious about how I'm going to tell my parents. I live in their home and am going to college right now. I don't have any money to use to move out on because all of it is focused on my car payments or paying back my student loan and I can't get a second job because the only other jobs around are jobs they won't let me work at. I don't even have the dad around anymore. I broke up with him a week before I found out and I don't plan on telling him because he's abusive and I don't want my child growing up with that. I don't know what to do or how to tell them.
