Also, kinda asking you guys. If I am, should I tell the father? My aunt & boyfriend were both saying (since he's shown no concern or interest) that I shouldn't tell him and should just wait until they baby's born and file for child support ( since I'll be a single mom at 18).
My aunt said if I am she's going to take me to the health department and help me get on WIC and pregnancy insurance as well as any pregnantal(sp?) vitamins that I'll need.
My issues go a lot farther than the actual pregnancy though. Right now, I live with my father, stepmom, and stepbrother. My stepbrother & father sexually abused me and I refuse to bring a child into this type of household. Also, the Mormon religion is strongly enforced here, and my parents have said I have to go every Sunday if I live here. I personally so not want my child raised in this religion due to personal preference and I was bullied as a child there. I drove out to Illinois in August to get my dog which is now seeming to be a problem. I could move in with my granparents, not sure if I could bring my dog & my grandfather's an aggressive drunk. My boyfriend's family love me to death, but once again, my dog would be an issue. My Aunt Charlotte (2nd aunt involved) has said I could move 3 hours away to live with her on the farm. I'd be 3 hours from my boyfriend though & her dog is dog-aggressive, so I'm not sure. I then have a lady I call Momma Cate, she's fine with my dog & I, and I'm sure she'd help me so it seems that's my best option. I've asked my Aunt Vanessa about helping get out on my own, but a huge problem is I have no car. I could easily get my dog registered as a service dog ( since she is already to me) and that way landlord wouldn't be an issue... I guess my question is do I stay with my dad? I mean, my stepmom owns a family daycare, so we have everything a baby needs, but idk... If I have to leave mydog, I'd trust my dad & stepmom with her. Advice?
