Once again Im thinking this is a bad idea

[Danilynn617]

I can't bring a baby into this house I just can't do it to her! There is constant fighting, between my brother, my mother, stepfather and I. It's just not right to bring a baby into that. I'm constantly stressed out and feeling like I'm doing the wrong thing and I know thats not good for this pregnancy. I don't want anything to happen to this baby girl and I do NOT want to give her up, I've grown WAY to close to her already. She is all I have, everyone else judges me or always tells me all the things I'm doing wrong and I'm sick and tired of it. I don't want my baby girl growing up in this type of home, she deserves a lot more than this. She has no father b/c he is a dead beat, and now to bring her into a home of constant fighting? My baby girl means the WORLD and more to me. And yes I understand I'm 20, I'm young, my whole life is going to change. But honestly I don't care, just seeing a smile on my baby girl's face will make it all worth it.

Also look and see if there are any friends out there who have a room for rent. sometimes if you can find a room in a house which is OK with a baby you can get pretty cheap rent. Or a small appartment with a roomate can be pretty reasonable. If you cant move out then you need to work on the reason you cant move out. If that is money then you need to work on finding a job/ changing jobs or pursueing a career that will help you to afford a baby. If you have to live at home then start working on improving the environment, have some open communication, avoid the fights and try to start now to make it a good place to live,  your baby deserves this. If you really think you cant provide a good environment you can also think about adoption.

Apply with social services now for housing aid, food stamps, WIC, all of it.  You can provide for ur baby with the help of the state.  Good luck.

Im feeling almost the same way my problem is that i dont want to continue living at my parents house its like if i dont exist i have a 3yr son and everyone is constantly getting after him for nothing. I cry everytime but i know its my hormones making me think this way im 21 with no support and cant get any government help. What i do is relax and always think positive. Try not to get into fights any more even if you cant help it just go for a walk or get in your room so you can relax. Maybe your environment will not be good for your baby but try to make the best of it. Once your baby is born you will be able to provide for him/her a good place to live, we have to sacrifies a little.
