I can't believe a parent wouldn't believe their child when they said they were being abused. I can understand why you wouldn't want to tell your family. I just didn't want to tell mine because I was seemingly like the perfect daughter and didn't want to deal with being yelled at or people being disappointed in me. The worst I had to deal with was my dad not believing me when I told him we were using protection. You definitely have it worse. In time, even if it's not very soon, I'm pretty sure they'll get over it and love their grandchild. Several people have told me that nobody can be too mad when there is a baby around. It's not like the baby will suddenly make my parents happy about the entire situation, but I think it will help soften things and there will be something positive to focus on.

I always think the same - that in 5 years the age I was when I had my baby won't matter so much. I'm not going to let this ruin my life or get in the way of doing things I planned to do.

And it shouldnt ruin your plans for the future! if anything this will make you a stronger person! I truely believe that!

i was the perfect daughter too until all this went down.. and now im the embarassement adn disappointment. its sad that they think this way, i know now, after lots of therapy that those are their issues and not mine! just have to convince myself of that now!

At least you believe it. My mom thinks I'm taking everything too lightly and that I think everything is going to be so easy. I just don't really talk to her about things because I'm uncomfortable.

We still haven't told anyone in my extended family that I'm pregnant. My mom said she is embarrassed to tell anyone she knows. I am too, but it hurts to hear your parent say that. My dad is a little better about it. He was extremely upset when I first told them, but he realizes that it's happened and nothing can be done about it now.

I do believe it, and sometimes i dont think parents give us enough credit, like you said you cant talk about everything openly so they arent going to know how serious your taking this.

it does suck being called an embarssement, but she is going to have to get over that! And i dont think other people judge us as much as our parents.. they are the hardest on us i think.

I think your dad has the right attitude, thats how i feel most people should be. even if they dont agree or approve of the situation!

Yeah, and at least when other people find out, I don't have to be around them all the time and hear their opinions about it.

Ahh, everything is sooooo frustrating, but sometimes I just feel like it will all be okay. Sometimes I manage to actually feel happy about the baby itself.

yes it is totally fustrating but yes it will be okay one day! better than okay!

I told my parents!!!!!

Madi, how did that go???

Not very good at all. At this point i dont know if they will be in my life much longer. But i have to start letting them go and get all these negitive people out of my life before my baby comes into a negitive environment.. i wont let that happen.

Abusers suck.

YES, YES THEY DO!!!! Suck, that is. I think you are on a good path. I'm so sorry though. No one deserves that...to be abused...
