So since I found out I was pregnant, I knew i was going to be a single mom. I still decided to keep the baby because I dont have the heart to end up the pregnancy. I am about to graduate from college this Spring, I have a stable job & even though I live in a rented room, Ive been stable here for almost 3 years and they are cool with having a baby in the house, but my plans in maybe the next 2 years is to move out of NY.

My father turned his back on me (he has always been an absent father so i didnt really care), and today I told somebody who i thought it was one of my closest friends and I was even thinking about asking him to be my baby's Godfather. When I gave him the news and tell him that i was going to be a single mom his response was "Well, after this phone call i am going to delete your number because there is nothing for us to keep talking". When he say that, my heart broke in 1000 pieces, his advice was to "SAVE MYSELF" since I am only 26 and the right thing to do is to end the pregnancy and he will even go with me to the doctor to do it so i wont go by myself.

I have the support from my mom, sisters, aunts & both of my grandmas and couple of friends who I told already.

Now my question is... Why do people think that being a single mother will "fuck up" your life? That just because you have a child, you wont be able to do w.e you have plan for a better future? Why people think my life will be over just because I chose to keep the baby?
