Q: Urgent! Mom Tells Dad....

Ok so i've been afraid to tell my dad that i'm 6 weeks pregnant and today I told my mom I want to keep it for sure, she says ok we'll go get you a welfare card (just to make me mad) anyways I tell her not to tell my dad because I wanted too. Well she told my dad about 20 minutes ago and he's mad/upset and wants me to get an abortion.

How do you handle pressure when both of your parents are sitting there telling you to get rid of it and threatening you???

My dad will probably get home around 4 or 5 to yell at me and i'm scared.


Their both going to be sitting there telling me how i'm screwing up my life and i'm ruining everything.

And the father isnt supportive either and we're not together

All I can say is if you don't want an abortion you can't let anyone force you into it. It's not fair to you or that baby. Your parents may be mad now but they them being mad can't last forever but feeling guilty could. If you do get an abortion because it's what they want and not what you want you're going to carry that around with you for a long time. Go with your heart and don't let anyone force you into something you don't want.

They might be upset about this now, but they'll eventually get over it. It's just a big shock to parents when their young daughter says she's pregnant. I'm sure they're not going to throw you out if you have nowhere to go with the child, even if they were to threaten to do so. They'll come around eventually - as poohbear said, they can't force you to have an abortion. Unless they sedate you and assault you with a coat hanger, there is no such thing as a forced abortion. You do what you feel is right in your heart, and do not do anything to please people...Not even your parents. Tell them to go to hell - it's your life, not theirs.


I'm sorry you're going through such a hard time - it's no paradise having 3 people breathing down your neck to have an abortion. Your parents are being major jerks right now, but honestly, they aren't doing it to make you upset - they want you to live your teenage life normally before taking such a tremendous step in life. I hate to stick up for them, but it's true. Either that, or they don't want to have an infant around since they aren't exactly sleep aids.

Don't let people talk you into an abortion, or tell you that your parents are right. Many teenage mothers are great moms. I had my son when I was 19. It is hard, but you can do it. You don't want to have to regret killing your baby because someone wanted you to. At 6 weeks you can see and hear the heartbeat on an ultrasound. It is so cool.

They may be your parents but they cant make you get an abortion or anything.... The worse they can do is kick you out.... My mom said she would do that for the longest and now im 6 months pregnant and im still around. Parents say things when they are upset.. You should let them cool off and try to sit down and talk with them.
