This is the love of my life, Dwayne, and I. I met him during such a hard time of my life. I was living and struggling in an apartment, living with my abusive ex boyfriend who had me scared for my life. My self esteem was at an all time low, and I was harassed, manipulated, and intimidated daily. When Dwayne came in my life, he made me realize how much I was worth. He helped me leave my apartment, told me daily how important I was, and perused me. In January, I made it official, and we became a couple. I knew from that moment on, he was going to be an important part of my life! I loved him, and he loves me in a way that I have never felt before in my 31 years on this planet. I met his family, and he’s (slowly) met mine. The issue? We are an interracial couple, in a close-minded small town in Pennsylvania. My family has been very welcoming of him, and they all like him (my grandparents are not thrilled). Now, fast forward to Good Friday, when I found out I was pregnant with my first child. Dwayne was so happy! I am so happy as well, but I am worried how my family will react. Mainly I am afraid that my baby will be treated differently because they will be mixed. I don’t want to think like that, but it’s my biggest fear. Has anyone had any experiences with this? P
