Ima have to give some background info cause if I didn’t it’s gonna sound waaaay worse. After my husband and I got married he quickly became a very unkind, frightening person to be around. He NEVER did anything for me or to help once I became pregnant and never did anything for his son. I put up with it for way longer than I should have, I tried getting him help with counseling but it only made him worse. The final straw was when My husband cheated on me and abandoned myself and our son. Shortly after separating I met someone, he just got out of a relationship around the same time I separated. Neither of us were really looking for anything serious or anything more than friendship.

Well we clicked instantly and grew very close to one another. He treats my son as if he was his own and would drop everything if something happened to my son. I moved back home in December and he also moved home to help his mom since she’s very sick and raising his niece by herself. We both are in the same state and about a 5 hr drive from one another. Well the day after Christmas I found out I was pregnant. He was shocked but super excited and took it a lot better than I could have hoped for. He’s planning to go to a technical school in March, he’s been accepted and has job offers already coming In for when he graduates in April. Everything with us is going great.

The problem is that I haven’t told my family yet. I don’t know why but I’m SUPER nervous to tell them. My parents have met him once when he came to pick up my dog for me, my dad is extremely allergic, so that I wouldn’t have to get rid of him permanently. My dad really liked him and has asked about him a few times since meeting him about a month ago. This will be my parents 6th grandchild and my parents loves all the grandkids equally, and I know will be excited. But I have a good feeling they are gonna be disappointed at first. I’m currently living at home but planning to move in a few weeks after I start my new job but again I’m super nervous to tell them. I need some words of encouragement or something cause every time I go to tell them I panic and don’t.

They haven’t suspected anything due to lack of symptoms and me not showing, my first was exactly like this and I didn’t start showing till I was 8 months along. I’m almost in my 2nd trimester already too.
