Teens & Pregnancy
Ok, I haven't posted in forever other than one a few minutes ago.
I have a recently turned 15 year old daughter. Over Thanksgiving, we found out she's pregnant. I'm not thrilled, happy, etc. I'm highly pissed off, angry, hatred and depressed.
I'm at the point now that it's.... "it's done, it can't be changed, deal with it" state I guess. But I seriously would like to strangle the two for breaking my trust. Yes, she was on the pill, supposedly using condoms. I got the "I guess the condom broke or had a hole"... either he's hung like a horse or someone put the hole there is my line of thinking. (yes, sarcasm)
Before anyone goes on the "why did you let her date at that age", I remember when I was that age and when mommy and daddy said no, I did it anyway. So I felt better at knowing she was dating that it going on behind my back, clueless. I think getting hit with I'm pregnant and no clue dating would have caused me to have another nervous breakdown.
I'm ready to throw in the towel so to speak and give up. I'm a single parent, her father is no where in the scene except when he's not needed. My s/o is trying his hardest to keep me "sane", making sure I take my medicine, also keeping everything stocked in the kitchen to make sure she's eating good. I'll admit he's not happy about it either but like me, what's done is done.
The thing that scares me right now is, she's 15. Should I watch carefully for a miscarriage to happen? Worry about not going to full term cause she is small, like I was but I was 18, and I didn't carry full term.
Oh and I guess I should add that one of her friends, decide to put her up on the list for that 16 & Pregnant show for the next season. Daughter thinks it's a big laugh and I think that I could blow up and be a projectile at the next moving thing. I seriously think that show is giving the idea of that it's ok to be that age and get pregnant.
I guess my post will be is there someone out there that has related experiences with this and how in the hell did you/they cope?
