"Turn left here... and crash into a freakin wall..."

You're angry there's no doubt about that. I'll try to give the best advice I can, but I'm not sure if it will help or offend.

I say go through with the pregnancy because it isnt worth it to take away a little one's life. What happens after there is all your decision. Don't let your boyfriend take advantage of you.

It seems like you've had more downs in life than ups. I'd reccommend filling up your schedule. Find plenty of social things to do all day. The best part about life are the things in it, and that includes people. If things are really bad, some style of therapy/counseling could help out.

I won't presume to tell you what you should do. It's your body, your life. Yes, there is another life under consideration, and that is a factor which only you have the right to weigh against your own beliefs. Do not be pressured by anyone, one way or another. Ask those whose opinions you value for their thoughts if you wish, but the last thing you need is to be someone else's moral pawn.

This is a terrible dilemna, and I empathise, as much as any man could. All I can offer is the knowledge that I have listened, and am not even slightly tempted to judge you or any choice you may take.

Oh, and if he tries to press for a paternity test, appear to be enthusiastic that he is committing himself to paying child support!

He may leave a sonic boom in his haste to vanish.

Don't fret it, AngryGirl6. Be optimistic. Life isn't finished. Things can go much worse, but if you sit down and start blaming God, people, blah, blah, for all of this, it won't help.

I believe this is your choice, though if I were in the same situation as you, I would have not aborted the child. Despite all my desire to do something in life, like you read in my blog entry, I would not let my moral values change. Then again, it's your choice. My advice is, don't feel sorry for yourself, don't blame people and relax. Enjoy the things in life you have; and ignore what you don't have. It's the key to happiness, not boyfriends or money.

I am a single mother of two beautiful little angels and I don't work. My daughter has problems with her lungs so it makes it difficult to go into work. It's hard, really hard. But I didn't love their father in the end as he was never there and never provided. He never wanted me to continue either pregnancy, but I could never terminate without severe medical reasons.
I won't sugar coat it. Being a single mom is hard, being a mom in a relationship is hard as well. But being a mom is such a wonderful thing as well. There are times where you wish you didn't have children because it would be so much easier.
There have been times when I wish I'd not left their father. Because it'd be nice to have a family. But at the same time I don't, and will never go back to him. Single mom life is the most difficult process to go through. You at times need to get a break and it isn't easy to get that. Other friends don't understand you can't go out and do what you want because you have children to consider, and it hurts. You get angry and upset with them. But your children must come first.
Going through labor is painful, the pregnancy can be terrible, morning sickness and what not. But it is beautiful. It is wonderful. When you see this most wonderful creation on the ultrasound it is the most excillerating experience in the world, other than giving birth to them and holding htem in your arms the first time.
Having a child is not the end of the world, it is a new life you have to share with the most beautiful life. You are given the chance to raise a child, your child and show it morals, show it love, show it understanding and teach it to crawl, talk, and what life is all about. I would never change my life now. I've never felt more happy with my life since I had my children. Every day I wake up to their smiling faces and I thank the lord for gracing my life with my Cherubs. They are the best thing that ever happened to me.
I know you will find it hard, but you aren't alone. You will never be alone. You will find a hidden strength within you, created through this precious life growing inside of you and you will be able to over come EVERYTHING that life throws in front of you. If you ever feel you need someone to talk to, let me know.
Either way things turn out for you, I am here to talk to if you need someone to just vent at, or to ask for advice. Life is never easy, but you never have to go through it alone.
Children don't end your life though, they change it and give your life a whole new meaning. I'm always here to talk to if you need it though.

Best of luck to you and I hope that things work out for the best, I really do.
Lots of hugs and support sent your way.
