a Little Help Would Help
Posted: 01-08-05 11:14am

I'm 17 and will be 18 in march I live with my aunt and uncle .I'm about a month and a half pregnant and i'm so so scared to tell my aunt .
I just don't want to hurt her or hear her speech about how disapointed she is in me . My mom will take it much better but I don't live with her. Plus my aunt does not really approve of the father :evil: . The main reason I want to tell her is so that I want have to lie and sneak to Dr. Apt's and other things I have to do .I feel that I am old enough and I am fully able and ready to take full responsibility of my actions so how should I tell her?
Thanks for your time :d :d :d :d
if you don't have n-e advice just wish me luck :d

I'm sorry honey but the best way relly is just to tell her, let her have her rant and scream if that is her way of dealing with it, and try not to re-act to her outburst, i'm sure she will come round after she has calmed down - most do, unfortunately one or two don't, but your wording made it sound like after she lets it all out that she will come round to the idea.

Kia's 100% right. Plus it's not like this is something you can hide very long. And the longer you go without telling her the harder it's going to be and probably the more she's going to go off, only then you'll get a bigger lecture about why you didn't tell her sooner. Yeah, it's pretty scary, but the best thing you can do is get it over with as soon as you can or else it's only going to be more stress on you.

My dad always says you have to give people a chance to rise above your expectations, and that goes for your aunt. She might surprise you and not go off like you expect. But even if she does go off, I agree that the ebst thing you can do is not to react and give her a chance to soak in what you told her and what you're going through.

I was sure my parents were going to kill me, and sure they got really upset at first. But then they also settled down and they've been really helpful and supportive. And believe me, this is a time in your life when that's what you really need. But they can't help you til you let them know what's going on.

Good luck!
