Only my boyfriend and I has known about my pregnancy for 11 weeks now. I’m 18 and he’s 22. I turn 19 March. We’ve lived together since November 2018.

I’ve been working with my boss as a spa consultant for over a year. Nonstop working. I just got my license yesterday as an esthetician. We deal with a lot of services that have contraindications for pregnancy. So I informed her today just now that I’m pregnant. She made me feel like shit even more. Obviously things happen and some of us end up getting pregnant young when having sex rather than others... I am one of those women... I’m 11 weeks today and my boss made this even more of a nightmare for me. She basically said that in the beginning she’s told me to not get pregnant. And she said she’s disappointed in me. That she was excited yesterday that I graduated, but now she’s not excited for me to work for her. She basically said she doesn’t look forward to me having to take off for doctors appointments and for days I feel really ill, and for when I get big... she doesn’t want me working. (She said this last big part without exactly saying it) she said she’ll have to hire another esthetician and front spa consultant because I guess because I’m pregnant I’m suddenly extremely unfit to be here... I’m crying so much right now. I hate disappointing people and I’ve been battling with myself the past 5 weeks about telling my parents because I know they’ll act 1000x worse than my boss did. I feel alone. Extremely alone. I feel like I’m going to be shunned from my parents and that will be an extreme nightmare for me. The past 6 months i can’t stop crying. And having anxiety over this.

This is a hard situation to overcome for me. My parents are extremely Catholic. And my boss just was a huge hit of this depressing reality for me right now. Her response shattered me. I can only imagine how lonely I will be once my parents torment me.

I’m paying all of my own bills with my boyfriend. We will be loving parents to our child and will love it of course unconditionally no matter the circumstances. This is just so much emotionally to handle for me. I’m alone. I’ve never been more alone in my life and tormented.

I will tell my mom tonight because I feel like this day already has me feeling at my all time low, I might as well break the news to someone that actually matters.

Why am I so weak. I know I’m young but I’m doing everything adults are doing. I just wish I could overcome this disappointment that is going to be thrown at me. It’s tough and I have a big heart...
