Thanks for all your support, girls! It makes me feel not so alone. This was really what I needed to read in the morning (I'm not feeling too wonderful this morning!).

I'd never really thought about telling them in a public place... that might be a good idea. Not sure yet, though, becuase my dad has a temper that'll strike anywhere. Maybe I'll take my mom out for some Chinese food or something. I'm afraid of my dad though. Would it be too chicken of me to let my mom tell him???

Our family has a lot of added stress right now, seeing as my dad's 91 year old aunt moved in with us (my brother's dog bit her, and she had to have skin grafting done), so we have a lot of extra work on everybody's part, and now my brothers are sharing a room again, and I'm sleeping in what we call the "Nintendo Room" so that we'll have enough room for her. My dad handles stress differently than the rest of us. I imagine he'll say something like, "You think you're big enough to make a baby, you're big enough to live alone, too!" Aack. My ex and I are thinking of seeing a church counselor before we tell either set of parents (his parents are against us being together also, but they know we've had sex, so it won't be as big of a blow to them) to see if we can be pointed in the right direction as to where to go from here.
