Q: New Here - Single Teen Mother

Hi, I'm Sam, and I have a 2, almost 3 week old daughter named Ava. I'm 18 years old. I just felt like I needed some people to talk to. My parents won't speak to me, and Ava's father isn't in our lives, and everything's just so hard. Right now I'm staying at a single/teen mother facility near my house. I just don't know what to do anymore.

Does anyone else feel like their lives are perfect, because we have this little person that loves us unconditionally, but at the same time, our lives are falling apart all around you in every other aspect?

It gets better. It won't always be easy, but people probably started telling you that when they found out you were pregnant ~ and you are living it so I know you know how hard it can be.

Keep moving forward in your life. Go to school. Get a job. It will all work out.

((hugs))

I am a single teenage mother to a 2 year old boy named Joshua.I was 13 when i found out that i was pregnant and when i told my older brouther he hated me and walked away from me and the baby.

Hey
I'm 19 yrs old and i am 5 months pregnant with a little girl. her father just stole money from me and has been emotionally and mentally abusing me so i had to do what was best for the baby and i and i let him go...
I know how hard it is sweetie. I know what it's like to feel abandonned and live somewhere because it was your last option. Just remember you are NOT alone!
Find that support around your area because you need to maintain your health and mental stability k sweetie!
You can do it!
