Heartbroken but trying to stay StrongI'm currently 18 years old and fifteen weeks pregnant. Not really far along I know. My story basically is that I was dating a guy I met almost a year ago, now here i am pregnant by him. We broke up so many times and I kept listening to my heart instead of my mind. I knew how many times he cheated, he even got another girls name tattoed on his arm. I was never enough for him no matter what I did. Anyway this year on march first i found out i was pregnant and the young girl he messed with is also pregnant. Her parents have threatened to have him arrested should he mess with her again, but there he is with her again. This girl has harrassed me and made my life miserable, Now shes having the same thing done to her by the girl whos name he tattoed on his arm. I'm so miserable at this point. My life seems like a blur. I keep trying to figure out how I'm gonna deal with this. I used to be the good girl, I dont know how to do this alone. I find myself at times feeling very emotional. He plays to many games with my heart. While he was with this young girl, he kept saying he needed me and wanted me desperately, so I gave myself to him last week thinking they would never get back together. lo and behold a week later i get a random im from the girl apologizing to me and all this stuff. now she is back with him. its like all the time just as i am getting over him, he comes back into my life, I dont know what to do. Why is my heart so weak for him and will I ever get back to normal? I am loving the fact that I decided to keep my baby because here I've got a young life that will depend on me. But this wasn't my wish. This wasn't what I wanted. Now I feel even more like ruined goods. At first when he and I met, everything was good. Even when I got pregnant last year and miscarried he was there for me. tho we werent together he'd told me that no matter what happens, I'd always be his babys mom and i would always be number, me and his child. what happened to that guy. I used to think I could change him but I know now that I cant. I just want to get over him and let him not have this hold on me anymore. I'm done for good with him. i just wish I would stop having all these dreams at night of us still being together. Any advice on what to do to get over him would be deeply appreciated. Thank you so much for listening to my long story.

Aly Knight its ok to abortI had an abortion when I was 15. I did not want a kid and I wnated to go to college. The guy was no longer in my life. It was the best decision I made. I cant imagine being 25 years old with a 10 year old kid struggling to make ends meet. So for all those girls out there who think abortion is bad, it might be bad for you but that doesnt mean you have the right to tell other people waht to do. I am very happy with my life and I have no regrets.Ashleigh Page: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146 |
