The options-- they all suck. An unnecessarily harsh summary.

Option 1. Stay Pregnant, Have a Baby

You could move back to Florida and live with your older sister and her family, if they have room for you.

Or.

You could go live with the guy who knocked you up, if he'll accept you & a baby (he's not that interested now that you're knocked up, is he?) Of course, he's the guy who KICKS the DOGS if he gets mad, so I don't think you should move in with him.

Or.

You could convince your other boyfriend (the one you don't think is the father, but is the one you're "in a relationship" with (according to facebook), that he should move to a place with you and your baby (since right now, he lives with the Super F**k-Up who you think is the father of this pregnancy.) But then again, you just mentioned not that long ago -- well, that you don't love him and don't think you would for a long, long time. So I do not think you should stay with him, either.

Or.

Whereever your parents go (your Dad and his abusive ways! your mom, the invalid!) when they lose their house, you could try to move into the shelter where they go. Or live in their modified bus with them, when they find some place to park it. That sounds pretty grim, really. I don't think you should do that.

Or.

You could have the baby, and give it up for adoption. I hear that private adoption can sometimes compensate you handsomely, which might help you get over giving up the baby.

Or.

You could give the baby to your older sister to raise. Hmmm. Think that would have any emotional baggage attached to it? This sounds like a really bad idea too.

Or.

If you were to stay here (not that I think this is a good idea either, and it's certainly not a comfortable one for my family)... where would the baby go?? How would you care for it and also work? Daycare costs a ton! What'll you do with it? I'm imagining the piles and piles of dirty diapers. The dirty baby things all over the place. The only reason I'm even counting it as an option AT ALL is the thought that you might feel "forced" to do one of the above options instead. And those all sound, well, worse for you and your baby. But what about what my family needs? How would having you and a baby affect my family? Would it be like my kids have a little baby sister or brother? Would I like that? I might. I mean, I do love babies.

However, there are so many problems from babies. They are so much work. I think it would be so sad for you to lose your young adult freedom so soon, so young. Plus, I don't think you are ready for that kind of responsibility. I can't see you doing right by a baby -- you show very little maturity in caring for anything other than yourself, and even in that department, well, obviously you weren't caring for yourself when you slept with Mr. Super F**ked-up without a condom, even though you know he's sleeping with at least 3 other people. Sure, you were on the pill, that's fine. But um... hello venereal diseases?? That is such a possibility, since he fucks anything he can.

Better hurry up and get to a doctor, and have yourself tested. Especially if you really do want to keep this baby. It could be in danger from something sexually transmitted.

Option 2.

Terminate your pregnancy. Feel a little sad, but know that it was the right choice. Keep working, save your money. Go back to school. Get an education. Start a career. Maybe meet someone you really do care about, who really cares for you. Someone who isn't fucking everything that moves, that he can get his hands on. Someone who isn't trying to manipulate you emotionally for his own twisted needs. Someone stable, smart, funny, kind, loving, that you feel strongly about. That person would be a good co parent, co partner, supportive and loving. THEN have a baby. Not now, not like this. Be a little more financially stable, have some further experiences in life. Travel. Read. Learn. Grow. Mature. Master something. THEN have a baby. NOT NOW. IT IS NOT THE RIGHT TIME.

What would it mean to end this pregnancy? Look, 1 in 3 pregnancies end in miscarriage naturally, during the first 9 weeks of pregnancy. This is because at this stage in the game, the conceived embryo is tiny, fragile, and susceptible to many kinds of failure. It is not a human, not anywhere near a human. It may have the potential to become human, but it simply is not yet.

But you --- you, are a fully formed human. And a human who deserves a chance to reach a stable and successful life. You don't deserve to live in a bus with your dysfunctional parents, or pass off this unexpected baby to your sister. You don't deserve to try to raise a baby in the presence of a guy who kicks his dogs. And NO BABY should have to grow up living in a shoe box on a stack of dirty laundry in the back of a closet. Or in any of these bad options.

And Section 8 housing? That's for crackheads and hookers. Which one were you aspiring to be, anyway?
