I knew my parents wouldn't be happy when I told them I was pregnant and single, but what has come in tow has been nothing I expected. My family is very prolife so when I told them they thanked me for not having an abortion even though he asked me to. All my siblings reacted in the best way possible. Shocked, but supportive. They've all stuck by my side and offered me advice and help and just a lending ear through all of it. My parents  initially reacted that way, but quickly switched gears. A couple weeks after I told them my mom showed up to me house and basically attacked me telling me I was so selfish for keeping my child and not giving him up for adoption. She said the only reason I felt attached was because I was hormonal. She's gossiped about to everyone and anyone who will listen. She's tried to form sides against me and all the while tells me she doesn't speak to anyone about it. My dad repeatedly told me I need to be discreet about my pregnancy... Not post anything on social media, keep it on the down low. I chalked it up to him being embarrassed, but it hurt non the less. When I found out the sex my mom came with me to my ultrasound and I found out upon returning to her house that she called my aunt on her way back to gossip about how I'm doing the wrong thing by not giving my child away. When I showed my dad the ultrasound picture the first words out of his mouth were "I'm so sad for you."  I'm a private person and my parents wanted to know EVERYTHING. My mom even said "I need to know your every thought." I tried to be considerate and be an open book because I knew this was hard on them, but after 2 months of being interrogated everytime I spoke with them, feeling like I was being controlled and silenced when it came to MY life I decided to take a hiatus. For about a month I didn't get together with my family. I had little contact with my parents and I felt great. During that time the babies father came back around and has been very supportive. I got dinner with my dad lastnight as I figured it was about time we talk. Nothing changed. I was made to feel less then a mother because I'll have to utilize daycare. My dad say I'm ruining my child's life by letting him no his father. He told me I can't handle being a mother so I need to let someone else do it. He said I'm being selfish and setting my son up for a life of heartache by keeping him. I just truly feel like my parents won't be happy till my baby is gone and he is NOT going anywhere. I just needed to vent because I feel incredibly down today. I know I have support from friends and such but it's very hard not having your own parents behind you.
