[I understand where you are coming from GIRL, I went through the same situation. Mine didn't leave to another state but he might as was had. He just denied my daughter know 15 and living with me and doing great in school and a good girl. I did great without him. I know own a home even though it is in my boyfriends name but I am able to pay the house in full and all my bills and my car payments (and I asy payments because it is 2 cars. I am now starting school this month and I di have problems with my boyfriend but if he leaves me or I leave him I can pay my own way. I am doing ok. I sometimes wish that I can be on my own but I am not always sure what I want but I know I can take care of my kids with out assistance from any man and I know am a proud MOTHER of 4 and always busy and have something going on but I keep telling myself my kids will appreciate it in time. I have a great relationship with my daughter and she is my best friend and my 2 oldest who is 13 in my best man. I know he is my protector. If anything happens to me he will help and protect his mother. My 3rd oldest is 9 any he is my first baby and I say baby because I grow up with my 1st two children because I was 17 and 19 when I had them. I was still young whwn I had my 3rd child bu more an mohter than a child and my forth child is my real baby he is 2 years old today and he has shown me and all my children and his father what is life and how to appreciate it. He is very loved and appreciated very much. He is the spot light of all of lifes. You can be sucessful if you really want it and I know you can.

Hope it all works out well.

I've been there. At 16 I was pregnant, had my daughter two months after I turned 17. You will learn that the most important people in your life is your family. I thought mine would disown me, but they have helped more than I would ever expect. My daughter is five now. I also have an 18 month old boy. I am now an "accounting specialist" at a large corporation. I own a house and just bought a brand new car. What got me as far as this at my age, I'm only 22, is knowing that I have two beautiful children to feed and have shelter for. We all make it through. And you're not as "alone" as you think.

Congratulations on your baby! I got pregnant when I was 17, my senior year in high school and I was an emotional wreck. My boyfriend was great to me and we eventually got engaged, but it was still terrifying. People lose hope for you when you become pregnant as a teenager. They assume that you have no potential or that you don't know how to raise a child. Don't let anyone bring you down. I have enjoyed my son more than anything in the world and I know that you will feel the same love for your little one. Your instincts will kick in and you'll find some confidence and then pretty soon, you'll be so excited!! I went from being scared and sobbing to pacing the floors, counting down the minutes until I got to meet my little man.

HI!!I was also scared when I first found out I was pregnant. I am only 22 and I was living in a strange state with noone working as a nanny. I decied it would be in my best interest to come back to Michigan where the babys daddy was and thought we could work it out. Boy was I wrong. The only one that supported me being pregnant was my brother my dad and my grandmother. My mom response was "OH". It hurt alot. Now i ahve everyone here to tlak to and a great guy who cares for me and doent judge it. it will be okay. i am here if you want to talk to me anytime.

you're lucky he wants to try. i also had the exact same situation. found out i was eight weeks, he told me he was moving to europe. (he lied, i know where he is now, with his new fiance) and wants nothing to do with either of us. it's sad, and it sucks, but it's better off this way. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!! and i hope he comes through for you!!
just remember, takes everything in steps... a don't let one "stumble" get you down, it's not worth it!!

ps. i'm now 15 weeks pregnant, big as hell, and loving life. families are a true blessing!

Sweetie your not alone, believe me. I was 14 years old, only a freshman in high school when i got pregnant with my son, who is going to be 4 in October. I told the father, and he said he would be there for my son, and to this day i have not had one ounce of support from him and honestly? i think my son is better off without him in his life. Sure it's hard in the beginning, no one ever said it was going to be easy. I am now 19 years old a full time student with a full time job and 2 kids, i had a daughter back in june. I love both my kids with every thing that i have. Just have faith in your friends and family and you will get through this.

We are never truly alone

I cant say I completely understand. I found out I was pregnant only 3 weeks after leaving my boyfriend. I didnt now what scared was until I was told I was going to be a mom! I told my ex and he acted like he was happy. Then I didnt hear from him again. He commited suicide on April 19, 2005. My son was born on July 1st of the same year. He will never know his father but I am sorry to say that will be good. He was an alcoholic and druggy.
I moved back in with my family and am still living with them almost 4 years later.
The support is a great thing to have!!! I had my brother staying up at night with my son so I could sleep in those early days after we came home from the hospital. And to say the least my son doesnt miss out on single thing. I think he actually gets more then most kids. After allhe has his grandfather and grandmother around all the time!

Sorry for the long post....been holding it iin for to long I guess!!

I hope it has gotten better.
