Today, after my boyfriend broke up with me, the only thing positive about my day was a pregnancy test. FML

You should force him to pay child support if you decide to keep the child. Of course you will have to prove it is his child. I'm sorry OP.

The thing is, all of you are telling some girl or woman you don't know that she's going to be an amazing parent, this child is a blessing and will bring them back together etc etc. we don't know any of this. This could be a teenager with hopes and dreams of college, or pursuing other things in life. It doesn't sound like her boyfriend and her were trying to conceive a child, so for some it is not a blessing. But there are other options. Adoption being one of them. I'm a Clinical Social worker and I have worked with many teen parents, and single young moms, it takes a hell of a lot more than "baby daddy" child support to raise a child, and it's a minimum of 18 years commitment for both the mom and dad. That is, if the father chooses to be involved in the child's life, which they do not legally have to do. Unfortunately the statistics on teen parents are not very good in regards to educational attainment, healthy relationships, and single mothers are the largest group on government assistance and welfare. I respect anyone's decision regarding an unplanned pregnancy, but as I stated before, couples with infertility problems wait years to adopt a child and give them a nurturing safe home. Sometimes, being a good mother means you have to realize you aren't ready to care for a baby, and you make the most selfless but loving decision to possible allow someone else to love and raise your child until you are in a more stable relationship or place in the world to be a parent. Best of luck to OP but there's a lot of info about open adoptions online you might want to explore and discuss with your primary support systems in your life.

Even with a child it doesn't mean she isn't able to go to school && have a great education. I know many people, including my best friend that has a 2 year old && another on the way who is in college && doing what she wanted to do even before she was pregnant with her first one. It just depends how she handles things, but her life is not coming to a complete stop because of this.

I'm not saying its not possible, I'm saying, statistically speaking its more difficult. I don't know how old this woman is, but having an unplanned child in a broken relationship doesn't normally turn out great for both the children and the parents. Just because you have an unplanned pregnancy doesn't mean you cannot explore other options. The last thing we need are more people reliant on government assistance.

And congrats to your friend! But she is a rare case to see for many young moms. Best of luck to her and I hope for the child's sake, the father is playing a role in the child's life and for the parents, they are supportive both emotionally and financially to the child.

Why are you calling the ex and asshole? she said AFTER they broke up. so if she means what she says, he broke up before he knew, you assholes.

OP, let your ex know as soon as you feel ready about the situation if you decide to keep it. If he chooses not to be a father, then f*ck him, you can handle this, you are strong, intelligent, and do not need him to get by. You never know, maybe your baby will be all the love you need!
