DEPRESSION COMMUNITY
how will i tell my parents that im pregnant?

how will i tell my parents that im pregnant?

im 23 y.o. and pregnant with no work and my partner is unsupportive, up until now i havent told my parents yet that im pregnant? my parents are irrational sometimes, they are both successful int their lives and being pregnant at a young age for them is a  great failure and im afraid they wont forgive me. i need the're support now more than ever but if i tell them about my pregnancy im afraid they will throw me out of the house. the'yre very strict and there ius no doubt they will throw me out of the house just like my sisters. i was planning to write them a letter so that i can express everything to them but im lost with words. i want to ask them for forgiveness and for their support and understanding, but i really dont know how to say it. can someone help me? i've never been good at expressing myself.

Explain to your parents that you made a mistake (they've made some too) but you want to be responsible in every way, to include taking the baby's father to court for child support if need be.  Tell them you know what you did was wrong, and why you shouldn't have done it.  But the deed is done and now you just want to move forward, no reason to re-hash what happened. If you plan on keeping the baby, let them know this, and don't allow anyone to force you to give it up, because this is something you will have to live with for the rest of your life.  Just let YOUR wishes be known. You're not that young, at 23 I was married with 3 babies 4 years and younger when my husband left us.  I had no family, no education, no job, no money, no car, no driveres license just 3 babies depending on me.  I did it, and you can too!  Ask for their support, forgiveness, and understanding, but if you don't get it you've got to be strong and make a plan.  See if there is someone you can live with should they kick you out, prior to even telling them.  But I just can't imagine any parent throwing their daughter and grandchild out, and if they do, you should be very angry.  You are their daughter and none of us are perfect, not even them!  It's times like this when a family needs to pull together and support you as much as possible.  If they can't do this, then how can you respect them?  Respect is earned, and turning your back on one of your children when they need you most, is just wrong.  Write your feelings in a letter, as I think you would just get too upset in trying to talk to them face to face, and tell them this is why you put it in a letter.  This will also show them just how upset, and afraid you are  for many reasons. Although this is hard for parents to accept, they do still love you, and you are carrying their grandchild.  Refer to your baby as their grandchild.  Trsut me, it's not the end of the world, you will get thru this, and willl be a better person for it.  Take care.......
