So depressed. Need support.

[HopefulMarla]

There's too much to explain in one post, but I'm having an awfully hard time. I've been wayyyy too stressed out. My bf (now ex bf) lives about 2 hours away, and for lots of reasons has become pretty obsolete in this pregnancy. My family is angry at my defending him so often. So, my parents have backed out of saying I can come home. In the beginning my ex bf said he wanted to get married, and I shouldn't work because he was gonna take care of me. Now he won't live with me, and I have 13 days left until I have to find a new place to live (after my parents bailed). I get yelled at or fight with people almost everyday. So my options right now are pretty limited. Well, I don't have any. I have two friends that talk to me. I broke up with my bf, because he keeps trying to pawn me off on people. I'm gonna be homeless, and pregnant. I wasn't even suppose to have kids, and there's just too much to even say in this one post. I lost who I thought was the love of my life, my school, my future, and now my home. Plus having to get rid of my dog who I am in love with and have had for 5 years. This reality is setting in. I'm pregnant, and going to be homeless. I can't believe this is happening to me. I was going to school to be a doctor. I have nothing left. Except this baby, that I have no business having, and can't take care of it. I don't understand what happened to my life. My mom screamed at me last night. She said I was a bitch, and my life was over. My ex bf just wants out. My friends don't have kids and don't understand. I give up.

So sorry your going through all this. I don't know where you are in the world, but I'm sure there's some provision for a homeless pregnant woman. Look into what you can get.
Things are tough now, but the baby your having will give you the strength to move forward through this dark patch.

One day you'll be able to look back and see how strong it all made you lovely, and things won't always be so hard. Chin up honey

I'm sorry you have to go through all that, especially while pregnant! If you ever need to talk, I understand all about stress and pregnancy, so feel free! Good luck, everything will work out the way it's supposed to.

I agree with Yo_yo. It sounds really hard right now. But it won't be this way forever. There are times I've looked back and realized how far I have come from some pretty low moments in life.

There is help for pregnant women - you won't be homeless. Would your family really allow you to live on the streets?? Can you try to mend things with them and even if you feel they are wrong, just swallow it and apologize or whatever it is so that you can fix the relationship for now? Until you can get back on your own feet?

Also, your boyfriend seems to be bailing on you during pregnancy, but once your child is here, you can file for child support. You should not be expected to do this on your own, that is what child support is for. It won't be enough to pay for you to live off of, but enough so that you can make sure your baby is always fed and has a place to sleep.

I'll pray that things turn around for you. And I'm sure they will. Keep your head up!

When I was 18 I was homeless and pregnant with my son. I was about halfway through the adoption process when everything just kind of worked out, which sometimes they do. I'm sorry you're going through this, I know all too well how you feel right now, but things will get better.
