No Support? Posted: 06-27-06 14:38pm
I know this would probably fit better in
teen pregnancy but I don't like it much
over there anymore...
But it really edit me off how there is
this divide with teen mom and young moms.
There seems to be a lot of support in my
area for moms under 18 or still in
highschool. Like in my situation im 19
now and will be 20 by the time the baby
comes, and I feel excluded from a lot of
support programs that I know could still
benefit me. I found one meet up group
but by the time I got the balls to call to
go and realized how much I needed to go
they were stopping the program from lack
of attendance. The only thing I can
think of is a single moms/pregnancy group
and even though I have problems with the
dad all the time im not single. I live
right near charlotte north carolina but
cant find anything!? There are 500,000
people in that city and like 60,000 where
I live and not one other person needs the
support I am looking for too? I have
talked to a few organizations and still
cant find anything. I really need to
meet other girls in my boat and that are
pregnant to make some friends to rely on
and talk with, but the lack of support
really disgusts me.

I think you could contact planned
parenthood or something (local community
centre) and they could help you.

It sucks, people think that once you
become an adult you dont need
help/assistance anymore cause your mature
enough to produce you can deal with the
bs. In reality we all have difficultie
the first month being the hardest,
adjusting to a new kid/ life with kids is
really bloody hard.
I was in the same sitiuation, im a little
tight on money cause of the kids going
through so much diapers, formula and
having to buy to new wardrobes for both my
kids since they grow so fast. What iffed
me was that I have to pay to attend mom
and kid groups or toddler day groups as to
where moms under 18 dont have too. They
say that becuase I am married im old
enough to take care of these things im
like really I pay life insurance for
everyone, resp for the kids and im lucky
to get a night out plus I work my @ss off
what makes me different age discrimination
is disgusting some of us are all in the
same boat!!
Good luck trying to find stuff thats why I
rely on a few people here they provide me
free heartfelt advice over paying someone
who doesnt care!!
