I am 18 years old, divorsed, pregnant, homeless, jobless, and lonely. The father of my unborn son left me soon after i told him that we are having a boy. I am also common-law married to him but he will not acknowledge it. I am 5'5'' tall and at the time he left me I weighed only 126. He told me everyday that we were together that I was too skinny and too short, and yet he is now with a girl whom is only 5'0'' and weighs only 82. I am very stressed out and really need some companionship. My unborn son \"Curtis Levi\" is very sick, he doesn't have a left kidney, his right kidney doesn't function correctly, his heart is not functioning correctly, and his lungs are way underdeveloped for my stage of pregnancy. My mother is also very ill and may die any day according to her doctors. The father keeps on telling me that he will meet up with me so that him and I can discuss visitations, but he won't show up. My step-dad hates my guts. My biological father didn't have anything to do with me until after my 18th bday and is now out of the country at war. Not only that when I met him for the first time he told me that he is adopting a baby girl from China. His parents hate me because I am my mother's child. My brother's girlfriend just had a baby in October but he hasn't let anybody in our family see her. He blames me for his best friends death. (Which on that night I was out of town about 56miles away) And in addition to all of that, I also am required to go to drug and alcohol rehabilitation every Wednesday for an hour.
I am due any day now and really just need a friend. Someone who will be there for me to \"cry on\" if my son does die, or if I just need a sholder because of stress. Thank you to whomever responds, it will be appreciated.

Hi midgetwithin,

I didn't want to read and not post. I can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through right now. I hope the birth goes well for you and that something can be done to keep your son healthy. Is there anyone at the hospital where you will be giving birth who can help you with counselling, etc?

Take care xxxx

Wow. I'm so sorry to hear that you are having such a tough time! I will pray for you and your mother and son. I know how horrible I felt when the doctors told me that it looked like my unborn son had some developmental problems. I would do anything to make things better for him. Luckily in my case things are looking a lot more positive in terms of the baby's health. Have you contacted a crisis pregnancy center or Birthright. Even if you are close to delivery they might be able to help you with legal issues with your ex and might be able to help with baby clothes or help you get low cost housing for yourself and the baby. It will be best for you and for the baby if you are not using drugs or alcohol. The rehabilitation may seem like a pain in the neck but is probably for the best for you and your son. If you need someone to talk to or support I am here to listen.
