hi moms

Am 24 years old, been in a relationship for two years with this guy I loved so much but he didn't love me back. It went from verbal abuse to physical abuse. Then one day woke up I then decided I am leaving.... Sadly two weeks later I found out am pregnant. Am now 2 months pregnant.... Yep doesn't want none to do with the child, he told me he could try to get money for abortion but looking after the child he can't bcoz he feels like the bby will be in his way. The past couple of days have been starting to be stressful to me because am realizing how real this is. Am scared.... Am not working, just lost my job a month ago coz it was a contract. My mom is a domestic worker the money is not enough Am scared of raising this child alone.... I need advice.... Help!! I Know am not alone but I wanna try

I’m really sorry to hear that. I’m in a similar situation as you. I am currently in my 2nd year of uni when I found out I was pregnant (23 y/o) the guy felt that his future was ruined by the baby and forced me into abortion. But deep down I knew I love my child and I could never kill it. So I kept the child. But family support is really really really important. I am really thankful my parents accept me for my mistake and makes up for the loss of the father.

I practically cried everyday for the first 6 months. Then I told myself I have to do this for the sake of the baby and I. Do talk to people!! It helps. Things will get better! Just know that things will eventually get better, so don’t dwell on the past too much.
