Abortion

Hello,
I am a divorced mother of two children. I have been in a relationship for a little over a year now. I just found out that I was pregnant I will be 6 weeks tomorrow. My boyfriend wants to me to get an abortion. I am so against it. I feel as though we made this mistake and this innocent life should not have to pay for it. Well my boyfriend doesn't care to think about that. He has a daughter from a previous marriage, however his daughter lives outside the country. He said that he will never be happy about this baby and that I am destroying alot of peoples lives by keeping it. He doesn't care about how I feel about abortions. I told him that I can do it myself and that I don't want or need anything from him. He is still against that. Bottom line he wants me to get this abortion. After a heated argument on friday night, I just agreed to it to shut him up. So now his attitude is totally different, he keeps asking me if I called to make the appointment. No, I haven't. I am scared to tell him that I am not going to make it. He is not abusive or anything, I just don't want to hear about how I am destroying his life. What should I do?

I'm late with your info but I have it....(904)253-1170 WIC Free Formula through out your baby's 1st year.  (904) 632-0600 Medicaid, foodstamps, housing and furniture assistance.  I know this is not a "cure all" but every little bit helps.  I also have someone in my office trying to get in touch with someone there so you can have a name to reference and he/she can be expecting your call.  I'm looking for other things that can help you as well.  Sometimes we just have to lean on eachother for support and that's ok.  Dont feel bad about any decision you have to make to give you and yours a better opportunity!  Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

You Live ALONE, and you're struggling!  Not trying to tell you how to beat the system, you know I have a moral code to up hold!!!! :)
