Hi, I am 23 now but when I was 16, I got pregnant. It wasn’t planned at all.

Honestly, I went on life like I wasn’t pregnant. Never really told anyone till I was about 6 months. I was a full-time student as well as held down a job. My daughter’s father never was involved with her, not even till this day and she’s 6. So I’ve been doing it on my own ever since I found out I was pregnant. It’s been hard really hard but hey, who said life is easy? Just seeing a smile on my daughter’s face helps all the bad days go away. Last year was when life got really hard for me.

I got pregnant again. I was so happy. My boyfriend at the time was happy. We had been together for a year at that time. Everything happened so fast. One minute, we were so happy then we just started arguing. During an argument, he said he wanted nothing to do with the baby and it wasn’t his. In the end, I got an abortion. That MISTAKE is still eating me up inside. He also feels the same way I do but its kinda too late now. I blame him for not being there when I needed him the most. I couldn’t be a single mother to 2 kids, I just couldn’t. Now looking back, that was just me being selfish. I made it work with 1, I could of done it with 2… I love my daughter more then anything. Being a teen mom, I’ve had my obstacles. But so far, I’ve overcome all of them and so can everyone else.
