| Hi Nicole
I can see how frustrated and confused you must be feeling by choosing to make posts on a public forum about something so personal. As much as everyone wants to help and as much as we all want you to make the right choice for yourself, your partner and your unborn child, and as much as you value the opinions of the people who give such great and heartfelt advice on this forum, I do think on this occasion that it might be a good idea to reach out to those close to you where you live and in your everyday life at this point in time; your friends, family and the people that are a part of your day to day life. These are the people that are going to be there to support you and to take care of you whatever decision you make, and by talking to them now you might be able to alleviate certain worries you have, for example, your parents. you might be surprised by how much practical and financial support they are prepared to offer.
On the forum we can all look at the pros and cons of your choice in a detached way, but we dont know the people involved and have no idea to what lengths your family and friends may or may not go to should you decide to go through with your pregnancy; it is those people you need to reach out to. I know you are young and you dont have a job and things are tough but try to look past these things and think about whether as a person you can offer the love and all the other attributes that a mother needs to have; and whether you love this baby already and the other stuff can fall into place.
Good luck Nicole, talk to you mom and let her help you.
