He told me to have an abortion
So basically me and my boyfriend have known about this pregnancy for about 7 weeks now. I'm 10 weeks and 2 days. On Monday he said we needed to talk, and just started saying how he doesn't want the baby and that I have to have an abortion. His mum heard the whole conversation, and decided to join in. She started trying to bribe me, saying I would be allowed to go on holiday with them if I kill my baby. Not once was I asked for my opinion at all. Not once. I went home and cried for about 2 hours. He said he was excited about the baby but now he's changed his mind?! The next day I thought I would go an see him so he can explain himself. As I barely slept I fell asleep on the sofa. Whilst I was sleeping he phoned up the abortion centre and started giving them my details. When I woke up I was so confused. He was just there with his mum planning my abortion. But still, no one asked for my opinion. No one asked what I wanted. You'd think that would be the first thing to do seeing as I'm the one actually carrying the child, and I'm the one who will have to go through the physical an emotional pain of an abortion. So, being me I didn't stand up for myself, and just let it all happen without telling anyone how I really felt. I felt like I didn't even have a choice.
So yesterday I spoke to a few of my friends that have babies. One of them is a single mum, an he's only 16. I'm 18. She was in the exact same position me and said that she is so glad she didn't have the abortion. Being a mother is hard, but not as hard as knowing you have killed an innocent baby growing inside you.
So I told my boyfriend that I'm keeping the baby, and I don't care if he wants to be a dick or not, I'm keeping it regardless of what he says. He doesn't seem to like it when I stick up for myself, and started screaming at me down the phone, so I hung up. Since telling him I'm keeping the baby, I feel so relieved. Only problem is, I've lost the guy that I love.
Does anyone have any advice? Because I don't know what to do :(
