Okay so like I haven't been here in awhile 'cuze of several reasons. I still come back and read everyonce and awhile. Life's been really hard the past 6 months or so. My mom's ex-husband, my adpotive dad, left two days before my birthday and then went liek ntus on my birthday and was take by the police to the phych ward against his will on my birthday. My mom and him are going through a nasty divorce right now and it's not any fun. He'd been emotionaly and mentally abusive for the past 13 years and we're just now starting to recover from it. He also has been physically abusive in the past 2 years as well. SO that's been extremly rough. I went to see my real dad in Nov. for the first time in 15 years. Which was an entirly new experience. Also I found out in mid december that I'm pregant. So Life's just a total mess right now. So like I really need the prayer. Thanks guys.

[shakes head] I remember when you were the carefree kid that started the duckie movement. I'm really sorry your life is so crummy lately.

My dad was physically abusive from before I was born, and even today he still has this weird kind of emotional hold over me. Even when he does stuff that hurts me and makes me mad and upset, I still have this bizarre desire to make him proud. I pushed myself in school to the point of a nervous breakdown, and I barely got a "Hmm, that's nice," For my 4.0 grade average.

It's a hard mindset to get out of. You get used to getting hit or put down, and after a while you see yourself as somehow deserving what's done to you. I still flinch when people raise their hands around me, even though I've been out of that situation for five years. I still panic on the inside when someone throws something at the wall or looks like they might lose control of their temper. But I've gotten a lot better, and I know you will too.

What are you going to do about the baby? And how old are you, anyway? My best friend and her mom work with a lot of Crisis Pregnancy Centers etc., so depending on where you live I can try to help you find one. How's your relationship with your mom, and does she know? Do you know how far along you are? You can PM me or email me if you'd rather.

Well I just turned 17 in Nov. and yes I'm keeping the baby. I am engaged and we hope to get married in March or April. my mom knows and she's very supportive. So is just about everyone invloved. So right now I'm in fairly good shape as everything goes. but I found out that my mom's ex is happy about being a grandpa which really makes me mad 'cuze he said in April last year if I were to have a baby before I got married he'd never speak to me again and would never have anything to do with me or the baby. So what are you suppose to do when this guy says he's happy to be a grandpa and can't wait to see the baby? I mean am I wrong to want to hold him to what he said before? I don't trust him around me or my baby. So I'm not due untill mid Aug. but still it's hard and it's like really hard to deal right now.
