My heart is breaking *UPDATE*
Please I really just need some kind words and advice
I’m 17 and recently found out that I am pregnant
I’ve told my parents and they’re obviously very disappointed and angry and both want me to get an abortion, they won’t force me but they’ve asked me to make a choice.
I know the right thing to do would be to have an abortion because it’s completely selfish to make my family help me with this child. I haven’t finished school so getting a decent job to support the baby and myself will be extremely difficult. I already have an attachment to this baby although it’s “only a cell” as my father says, I know I’m being a complete fucking naive idiot I just need help, I feel so alone and so depressed.
The babies father is in the picture but he’s just started work and unfortunately only gets paid on commission so that’s not a solid thing to base our lives off of.
My father said that if I have this child he will not pay for my school fees, id have to get a job(understandable) and he would not pay for anything(also understandable)
I’m just In a lot of pain and I’m so confused
I don’t really know what I’m asking for
I just really need help I don’t know what to do
UPDATE:
I broke up with my boyfriend this morning, I’ve been thinking a lot about life and I think that I’ve made the right decision. He was mentally, emotionally and sometimes physically abusive.
I knew how much strain the baby would put on my family and myself so with my mother and farther there to support me I have taken the first pill. I take the last two tomorrow. I’m trying my hardest to not feel alone. He was the only person I used to talk to , he knows everything about me. But that doesn’t matter anymore
I just have to look towards the future and work my ass off for myself
