Re: 17 & very possibly pregnant. Help? - October 13th 2013, 10:37 PM

First, you kind of dropped a bombshell on him. I would take a step back and let the father process the information before accusing him of not wanting him to be part of the child's life. It can be very emotional and confusing time for a guy, especially if they are no longer with the girl. Also, your reaction could turn him off in wanting to help you at all. Another consideration too is that he may file for his rights meaning he may get visitation. So I strongly recommend you try to remain civil with him for the child's sake. After all, he could be talking to his parents now who may encourage him and even pay for a lawyer to file for his rights. This could even be a bigger fight should he have really thought that he couldn't get a girl pregnant (which probably wasn't the case) since now he has a child on the way. So it is very important you try to remain civil and give him a chance to be in the baby's life.

Also, why do you feel like you need to move out right away? I would wait till you see your parents' reactions and give them time to process it.
