- I found out I was pregnant
- Debated abortion
- Battled with Matthew because I wasn't terminating
- Became best friends with my Grandmother
- Constant battles
- Long, endless fights
- My Mother briefly relapsed
- I finished E-class with an 85
- Contacted resources which have helped so much
- Matthew fell in love with our fetus
- Stood up to my Mother
- Grew very distant from my Mother -- resentment
- Cut off all contact with my Step Father
- Began setting my future plans
- Matthew agreed to move in with me
A lot has changed ... I have lost the people I considered family growing up. But, I have created a new family within these nine months -- an amazing family. I love my boyfriend with all of my heart, body, mind and soul. Yes, I sound like an 80's track list. I love my daughter with everything inside of me -- we love our daughter. I am very excited to get an apartment with my family, this July! I know it's going to be a struggle, it's going to be hard, and sometimes it's going to be really frustrating and I might even have thoughts of regret -- but if I didn't have Matthew or my daughter (who really needs a name) I would not feel as complete as I do now. My education is around the corner, I'm just relying on the government for help. My future is within arms reach -- my future is a reality, not just a possibility. I will make it all happen. We will do it together, as a family. I cannot wait! I love life.
