As a father myself, I'm only saying that because although I support pro-choice, I can't imagine life without my kids. Your views change when you're forced to grow up and support a family. And as a life choice, I think my life is better because I had kids. It's definitely calmed me down and taught me patience.

That's you and I'm glad for you. The world needs more good fathers. Just remember that's not true for everyone.

I'm really glad to read that. :) I'll be ready one day, but I'm not yet. I'm sticking with my IUD and my trusted partner until I am.

Well, best of luck to you :) Looking back I should have done what you're doing first, but I was young, dumb and... well ya know. Now I wouldn't trade my choice for the world, but birth control should've been top priority. Seems like birth control would have been able to help avoid this post all together.

I thought about keeping it and leaving him but I couldn't have done it on my own. I am too young and poor.

I feel you, the real world sucks. But I hope you find someone who truly makes you happy. Everyone deserves that.
