I need alittle help.. Or maybe I just need to vent my emotions.. Well when I found out I was pregnant I was scared (i'm 17) but I knew there was a reason I was pregnant..My brother (18) was like.. It'll be cool.. I'll have a niece or nephew.. My brother and I have always been close (only 17 months apart) this year he graduated from high school..And that night he was driving one of my used to be best friends home.. She had been drinking..And she grabbed his steering wheel while he was driving and sent him into a telephone pole.. The next morning I got the call I needed to be at the hospital because they were taking him to another hospital..When I saw them loading him up in the ambulance to transfer him. I couldn't speak.. I just stood there and cried.. And then they drove away.. Well.. Now he is home and he is doing great but I just can't help but feel sooo down... It's like I trusted her.. And she basically tried to kill my brother...Then a few days after his accident.. I ended up in the emergency room because I thought I was having a miscarriage.. But I ended up okay.. But now all of the sudden I have just felt so down and I don't know what to do...I just needed a little help

I know wha your going threw kinda... I just lost my best friend...Hed been fighten wit aids fo 11 years now...He got it becuz my so called "sister" had given him a dirty needel so shoot up wit...N he cought it off of that... When I found out I was preg he was the second one to know(besides the fathre who left on us)he was soo excited he knew I like frogs so he went n got me some lil frog pjs fo my baby n everything...N went with me the 21 of june when I went for my ultra sound n found out I was haven a boy...Well he was soooo over joyed n wanted to do this n that n this n that...But he told me he needed to tell me something first...He looked at me n had tears in his eyes n said the doctors gave me a month or 2...I finally got the call on july 12(2 days b4 hes 28 bday) that he was in seirous con. At the hospital...So I went to see him n at 12:30am his "g/f" the one who gave him the needel walked in n was yellen at me n telln me I was wrong for being there so I left...When I came back at 11 the next morn to see how he was doing... I walked by her...N she said u might as well just go in he has an hour tops... I went n spent the last hour of his life wit him...N I promise u now if I ever see her I will send her stright to hell...He left me n said good bye...So now I find my son a joy n pride becuz my best friend left this world n now im haven a new best friend come in...But im also sry to hear bout ur bro...

Hi
Wow. I'm sorry to hear that you lost your best friend.. But it was sweet that you got to spend the last hour with him...And he got to be with someone who he cared about before he passed on.. I couldn't imagine what that would be like.. You say that your baby's father left you .. Well so did mine.. He now he is saying that because our child is going to live with me ..And that he won't get to be around as much as me that he shouldn't have to pay child support..And through it all my brother said "it's ok.. I'll still be here to help ya" I don't know what I would do without him.. It's like sometimes he angers me and I just want him to go away..But I know that I couldn't bare to lose him.. But I recently lost my best friend (my dog) who I got on my 5th birthday and she was with me ever since..And it's been 1 month since I had to have her put to sleep and it's so hard.. I know a dog isn't like a human but to me she was.. Well it's late and I better be going.. Hope to hear from u soon

Close Call
It sounds like the close call of nearly loosing your brother on top of being preggie has you run down and feeling really low. Thank god your brother is alright I wish I could say the same for my sister and her hubby :( 7 mths after giving birht to my 3rd child they were killed in a horrific car accident and I never had the chance to say good-bye. She was my twin so the emptyness I feel I can't put into words.
Don't worry yourself with that other girl as looking for someone to blame will not make you feel any better (trust me on this) just cherrish every moment you have with your family and think of that little gift from god you have in your tummy. He/she needs you to be as healthy and happy as you can be.
I'm now 26 weeks preggies with my 4th and trying to get on with life and sometimes I feel this little one is a true gift from my sister to me.
