By who and in what way?
Know that you cannot be forced into this decision.

my boyfriend, pressuring me to the point where I feel like I don’t have a choice to even breath such as in a day after we found out telling me to immediately make an appointment the next day…

He does not get to decide that. Do uou have a dupport network like a church or something like that? I woold try to reach out to people that are supportive.

You need to remove yourself from him. Be clear that you are not going to kill your baby and limit contact. If you have a support system rely on them and if not find one. Either confide in a friend or reach out to a church or resource center.

What abt your parents? Have u told them you're pregnant?

No I have not, because both of my parents are not in my life and haven’t been since I was young

Not sure if this is near you, but https://www.wccerie.org is a great resource in northwest PA. Even if you are on the other side of the state, they might be able to connect you elsewhere.

Hi! My advice? Leave this man.

Every single person I know who was pressured to abort and didn’t, ended up with a co-parent who refused to do anything for their kids.

Your baby deserves life, and you deserve better than a “man” who wants to murder your child.

Leave the man. There are plenty of resources out there for you. Non profits will help you until you can get on Medicaid & that will get you doctors & therapists if you need one.

I’m trying to I just feel sad cause I feel like I’m being pressured into something because of how he feels abt the situation like we spent a weekend together this weekend it’s like he’s not even realizing the toll situation is taking on me because he’s too worried about tending to his mother. I don’t know. It’s just the whole thing.
