live help: Help i am pregnant and so lonely. - Help.com

You have more options than staying where you are or going back to the baby’s father. Tell us a little more and we might be able to give you some more specific suggestions. What is making life in Ohio difficult right now? Is it that you miss family and friends? How long have you been there? Do you have family or other people you trust back in CA (not counting the father)?

If you want to move back there to have your baby then you should go, dosent mean you have to get back with him. If you want the fater in your babys life then let him be but if not just tell him that youd rather not have him a part of it. But it also depends on your situtation.

If those are the options you are considering, then I’d say stay in Ohio. It sounds like you are pretty lonely, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. It takes a while to get comfortable in a new place. Do you have a way of meeting friends? Taking classes and volunteering are nice ways to meet people, or church groups if that is your thing. I haven;t used them myself, but some of my friends met using internet sites like MeetUp (http://www.meetup.com/). It’s not a dating site, just a place for people who are new in town to find other people for friendship. Their tagline is “Use the internet to get off the internet!”.

I’d also say good move on staying away from the dad. A clean break is best.

Well, they are probably trying to help and they may not realize how their controlling behavior is making things harder for you. I am sure that they intend it all as support for you, and I would try to accept it in the spirit it is intended. They may also be excited about it and they get carried away. What do they say when you talk to them about it?

Also, being cooped up with them without many friends to talk to probably magnifies the impact of their behavior. When you are trapped with someone without a break, you can get really sensitive to their personality flaws.

Do you have any girl friends from Cali that could manage a trip out to see you? That might really feel good right now. Also, I would bet that finding more ways to meet new people would alleviate some of the stress that makes it harder to deal with your aunt and uncle.
