Hey, i'm usually not on this part of the board....I'm usually on the teen pregnancy part. But anyway, im 16 and have a two month old boy. My boyfriend and I had almost been together for two years until about three/four weeks ago he and I broke up. I broke up with him because I was tired of him telling me who and what I could do/hang outwith. Also, I was tired of he and my mom getting in fights all of the time. Well he cried a lot and begged and begged for me to take him back and I cried and cried a lot and told him I can't take that anymore....Then he started to like..Harass me and call me all the time then he tried to commit suicide twice. Well I told his mom and she took him to the emergency room and they got him into counsulling and stuff like that. He like....Really doesnt hang out with his son anymore and he is constantly threatening to turn in my new boyfriend cause he's 19. My new boyfriend is so awesome, and even though I still love stephen still....I really really like my new boyfriend.....But I still find myself getting depressed all the time because I feel like its my fault that stephen was going to commit suicide. Errr....I gotta go my son is crying...I will post more later.....But tell me....Whats going on so far....What should I do to get rid of my depression.

Hey There
Hi mommabear16, well im new and have only just joined. Im kerrie, im 21yrs and from england.
I know the feeling of why you cant get rid of this awful thing and I always wonder how I got so bad.
With your feelins about stephen dont blame yourself, he seems like he was so wrapped up in his own feelins and thoughts that he forgot about you, he was selfish and attention seeking if you ask me, he wasnt taking any of your feelins into account and thought about him self and that he would get you back. He wasnt right for u, and he should grow up and learn that. You've got a gorgeous baby boy now to have so many happy times with and this new boyfriend will help you though things. I know sometimes the people closest to us are the ones we find it hardest to talk too, but if your open about ur feelins you'll get through it so much better. If I cant possibly talk to the people closest then I talk to someone I dont know, a counseller, then I can just leave the room get it off my chest and then go back when im ready to deal with it again.

Kerrie Smile

Quit worrying so much about guys! At 16 and already having a two month old baby it would seem to me that you need to start getting your life together and I am not judging nor am I trying to sound like your mother, I am just stating my opinion before you get this 19 year old guy into a heck of a lot of trouble!
I hope this has helped!
Sincerely,
sandy

I some-what agree with the above post. I say screw it. Don't worry about guys right now. The only guy you should worry about right now is alexander. And sandy, please don't talk about teenage mothers like that. Just because she is still worried about guys doesn't necessarily mean her life isn't in order. I am 15 and my son will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. And I still worry about my man to some extent. Just in a different way. But hun I say just take a breather from both of them and spend all the time u can with ur son while u clear ur head and think long and hard about it. Is your new b/f gonna stick around for sure??? Is he gonna be a daddy to alex? If not, then why bother keeping him around? I'm here if u wanna talk.

You have your son and yourself to worry about so quit worrying about guys. If your son's father is too wrapped up in his own life to worry about his child than it is definately good that you are trying to move on.
Let me just say that his suicide attempts are not your fault. Whatever he does too himself is his fault and never yours. I know that can be hard to see but I hope that you will not blame yourself if something happens to him.
I do hope that he gets the help that he needs though. Then he can be who he needs to be for his child.

I hate it when people go talking crap on teen mothers. I bet if they had to live a day in our shoes, then they'd watch what they say and who they say it to. Like the song says, "god, forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes, then you really might know what it's like....."
