suicide help: my boyfriend left me and im pregnant. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

my boyfriend left me and im pregnant.

he wanted me to kill the baby. i didnt want to. he became distant and i kept telling him i felt like the baby did this.. that he doesnt want me because of it. he kept saying no.. that it was just school. now he broke up with me and told me the baby is weighing him down.. that he feels he cant have a life.. he used me so he did this -he should take responcibility. he feels he cant do anything.

im 3 months now and he left me on the 19th.. i feel stupid.. he once TRIED to get me pregnant because he wanted a baby with me but i wouldnt let him..
he wont get back with me because he loves not having to worry about me or worry about hurting me -even though he is by ignoring me. im suicidal now and i cant stop envisioning suicide. i want to kill myself so badly because this hurts too much.. and i will ruin his life if i have the kid.. he keeps ignoring me.. he said he just wanted a break to collect his thoughts but its more like using, and then ignoring.. his friends are more important.. he isnt changing, only getting worse.. i feel i cant take the baby or the breakup.. god i loved him more than any girl ever has or will.. gave him all the freedom in the world.. and its come to this.. i need an abortion or death… abortions cost too much though.. so i cant.. and i hate the idea of it.. my boyfriend used me and ****** me ovor -why should me and the baby have to pay?
im 18 -turning 19 in dec. no one knows about the baby but me and him…

i got no one to turn to.. he was the only one there but selfishly left to be a party boy again.. help me before i kill myself.. i want to live life.. but it hurts too much..

and think of it the way i am
- get an abortion -hes happy because hes free
- kill myself- he feels guilty and my mom and evryone may find out about the baby and his parents will know and he’ll hate me but feel bad.. that.. and i cant stand the fact of him moving on.. theres no hope since he cant change.. but i retardedly still believe in hope for him because im so in love with him…
what do i do? im so scared..

You can’t force your boyfriend to do anything, and you can’t keep this baby as you are still a child yourself.

That is against the ToS which you probably never bothered to read, Anonymous.
She asked a question; “What do I do?”, so I gave her the solution. There’s no way she can keep this child in a fair state. Probably doesn’t even know the first thing about growing anything. Someone sensible, who isn’t practically driven by parental hormones, needs to get involved.

there’s adoption, so you won’t feel bad and he could be ‘free’. tell your parents and his family, as the baby will always be his child as well. there’s no reason why they shouldn’t know, as far as him not having a life, giving the baby up for adoption means he won’t have to. killing yourself isn’t the answer, otherwise you might as well get an abortion and feel better for giving him the freedom of having no child and live through it that way. you might love him but the kid should be your priority now.

Well, you have two options you can tell your parents and raise the child yourself or you can tell your parents and give the child for adoption. Either way if you are living with your parents you will have to tell them. If you aren’t then whether or not you tell them is quite contingent on the situation. If they are normal or better than normal parents than telling them would be a good idea as they could help. Of course there are always instances where it would not be wise, but generally it would be the smart thing to do. Raising a child at your age, while very hard, is not impossible.

You will be in my prayers.

Please, PLEASE don’t harm yourself. I don’t know what it’s like to be in your situation, but I do know what it’s like to be suicidal, and how it can swallow someone. Is there anyone that you trust that you can talk to?

If you need someone to talk to, call 1-800-273-TALK. This is the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. They’re available 24/7, you can talk to someone, and it’s entirely free and confidential.

Check Planned Parenthood. Just do a quick search for them (can one post links?). They can help you with pregnancy, abortion, whatever you decide. They are affordable and very helpful and caring, and I believe they may have counselors as well, and definitely willing ears.

I wish you all the best. And it may sound trite, but I mean this sincerely- things will get better. You aren’t trapped, and people can help if you let them. Again, I wish you all the best.

or, the third, would be tell your parents, and as you are still a minor, have an abortion which will be covered by your parents insurance probably.

Telling your parents is probably the best option here, as those above have been saying. Don’t stress yourself about how he’ll react if you do tell your parents. By acting this way and trying to ‘free’ himself of this responsibility he has no right to keep you from seeking help and telling those who will care and help you. It’s unfair for him to expect you to handle this all your own. I wish you the best in your situation and no matter how hard it might get, just remember to take it one day at a time.

Tell someone…. your parents, a trusted friend, a family member…. anyone…. it won’t seem so bad once you share it with someone. The boyfriend is better off out of it to be honest,…. he has used you but don’t worry about that at the moment… Get through the next few months when you have decisions to make and then concentrate on the future…. Don’t hurt yourself or your baby….You are not the first woman in the world to be pregnant and without the father on the scene… i did it with two children and i’m twenty years down the line now….You can be strong and get through this. Best wishes.

To the point. Abortion or adoption. If abortion you had better decide quickly. In terms of cost. Let me assure you an abortion is a lot cheaper than raising a child.

As for taking your life, for what? What a complete and total waste. Don’t do it because you think you’ll somehow make him feel bad and guilty. It won’t work. I had someone I loved commit suicide. It was hell for a while but you know what. Life went on. After a while bills had to be paid, school had to be completed, a job had to be attended you and now, here I am 20 years later and while I think of him from time to time on his birthday or the day he killed himself, I’ve moved on and fell in love again. Life has to be lived and its for those who persevere. I’m living and he’s dead. Gone. Kaput. And when I think of all the great things I’ve done and experienced in the past 20 years it is a real shame and loss - his own. I don’t mean to be harsh, but you’ll be the biggest loser in a suicide. You’ll throw it all away and there will be no coming back. Everyone else will keep living.

So what do you do. Take charge of the situation. Get some counseling. Speak to a trusted friend or family member. If he knows you are going through this, I’m sorry he is a real **** for not being there for you. You are too young to have gotten pregnant. This was a mistake. You likely haven’t completed your education. There are so many things you need to do and work towards, including some self respect.

Whatever you do, don’t hurt yourself.
It seriously is not worth it. You have so much potential, you have so much to live for, so many things to achieve in life - and although life is incredibly tough right now it will get better.
My advice would be, although it is most likely the hardest thing you can imagine at the moment, would be to tell your parents - if their loving, and caring they are going to love you no matter what, and would most likely do anything in the world to help you out. If you feel like you can’t tell them maybe you could talk to someone you trust that knows you very well, a teacher or somebody…it is always good to get a few peoples advice..especially older more experienced people.
You shouldn’t feel like you have to go through it alone, somebody will be there to help you out - you just have to let them.
As for the boy, don’t let him hurt you anymore. I would just concentrate on getting yourself back on track, getting your life back in order, take a break from everything.
Im guessing if he’s the one that has run away from responsibility, everyone is going to be on your side - and want to help you out.
But please, please - don’t hurt yourself. I know it feels like the world is against you at the moment, but maybe you just haven’t noticed how many people actually love you.

dont kill yourself and definitely dont kill the baby. why should the baby be killed because of your boyfriend’s immaturity? the baby is also a victim of this. adoption might be a good idea, but i want to encourage you to talk to your parents on this issue. dont go through this by yourself, seek help from parents and other nonprofit organizations that could help you through this, such as churches. you need a lot of physical, emotional, and financial supports. as in regards to your boyfriend, dump him. it would do you more good than harm. you are so precious and you can and will survive. take care okay, you’ll be in my prayers. needhim.org.

death is not an option. do not harm yourself, do not harm your unborn child. your baby is your family now & u do not give up on your family. so ur 18 turning 19? girls have babies younger than u, like at 16, and the still keep their baby & make great parents, even on their own. u are obviously going to need support, so tell your family if u can, tell your friends, start going to a church. there are so many services dedicated to helping girls who are all on their own, u can have this baby, u can be a single mother, and u can also still meet an excellent guy who loves u even if have a baby to somebody else.

trust me im preg, and the father of my baby isnt living in the same town as me, all he doe is get wasted everyday & spend all this time with his irresponsible party friends.

forget him, ur better than that, u are going to have such a cute beautiful loving baby in a matter of months. boyfriends come & go but your child will love u & be there for u for ever. dont give up on your dear baby. please be strong & find help, life goes on, and in a few years u will be so grateful u made the right choice when ur looking at your beautiful child & u meet the most amazing man who is there to take care of u.

bless u, there is so much hope for your situation yet!!! xoxoxoxox
