SUBJECT: Alone and Pregnant
This is my story. My boyfriend and i have been together off and on for two years. Last summer we split up. We decided it was better for us not to be together then. We stayed friendly and stayed in touch. I stopped taking my birth control pills. In January of this year i took him out (supposedly as friends) for his birthday. We ended up in bed together that night. Afterwards i regretted it because i didn't want to get back together with him and also because we didn't use any protection. There was a lot of awkwardness between us as we tried to figure out what this was going to mean. Then in February i found out i was pregnant. At first he acted happy and excited to be a dad, but later we argued and he accused me of getting pregnant on purpose so he would get back together with me. It's been like that ever since. Sometimes he says he loves me and wants us to be a family, but then he does really hurtful things like standing me up the day of my ultrasound. My family and friends are all angry with me because they don't like him and think i was stupid to get pregnant. So i am totally alone and i have no support from anyone. I know i messed up, but i feel so sad that no one but me even wants this baby to be born. I don't hold out much hope for boyfriend sticking around, so i will be totally on my own with the baby. I feel so sad and lonely and scared. I don't know how i'm going to make it once the baby comes. Sorry this got so long. I really needed to get it all out.
