NEED URGENT ADVICE. (LONG)
I’m 16 and I’m pregnant and will have a baby at 17.
I decided that I’d keep it, the moment i found out. I hadn’t told my parents (being Muslim) and decided to tell my mum 4 days ago. It was terrible. I didn’t go home after that, and have been staying with my baby’s father. All the messages I’ve received from my very big family is about aborting, they love me very much but have not considered what I want AT ALL.
My mum, however, is now severely depressed and psychotic. She has forgotten what day it is, which of her daughters is pregnant and is saying that her husband (my dad) has run away from her.. when he’s gone to work. My siblings are taking her to hospital and cannot leave her for a minute. My dad is also very depressed and my siblings are mourning because of me and my decision.
The only way I can stop all this, is if I do terminate, they will NOT consider adoption either. Although, I really do not want to neither abort or adopt as it was NEVER my plan and am almost 12 weeks.
I myself, have been feeling so lost and being pregnant; my emotions feel heightened. My boyfriend is devastated as I am starting to talk about abortion. (A option, we never wanted to consider).
What do you think I should do?
