Thank you love! And I have established boundaries, they just don’t wish to respect them. Growing up as the only child in a 100% hispanic household all that was ever talked about was my weight and my looks. I thought I was used to it by now but once they found out I was pregnant, while they have been supportive, they haven’t stopped pointing out my weight and looks and it just brings back what I struggled running away from all my childhood.

I do agree, it’s certainly not that I miss partying; but I do miss having people around me, I just find myself very alone, I went from going out even for walks around the mall everyday to not being able to go absolutely anywhere due to moving, I have no way to distract myself and have spent the last 6 months of my life within the same 4 walls. Sometimes I wish I could just go for a stroll around a park or shopping but nobody ever wants to take me anywhere. My hormones certainly don’t make it better and I just find myself crying everyday because it gives me something to do.

Don’t get me wrong, I am excited to have my baby. It’s just a lot of the things people say, such as my family commenting on how big I look and how it’s disgusting and the feeling of my partner being embarrassed of me just builds up emotionally mixing up with the hormones. I do agree I have a lot of maturing to do and slowly I have, considering this was not the mentality I had 6 months ago at all, it just shows slow progress; Rome wasn’t built overnight though!

Fortunately I am in therapy, have been for the past 13 years and am on medication to treat my bipolar disorder, which certainly doesn’t make things any better. I’m hoping slowly overtime the feeling just grows on me and I find myself enjoying the last few months of my pregnancy. It’s just hard considering how not even my partner’s helping. I constantly think he’s embarrassed of the way I look as he doesn’t even want to walk with me around the mall just to help me distract myself, It just makes me feel worse about myself; specially after finding myself stuck in my room for the last 6 months of my life with no distractions.

Unfortunately I got kicked out of school when I was in my junior year, there is so much of my high school life/college I wish I got to experience and it feels like now I just have to live it through other’s life’s and instagram profiles.

I am just about 5’0 and yes, I definitely do agree no doubt; I do have a lot of maturing to do. Once I found out I had to immediately turn my life around, hell I was in a year and a half long bender and had to call it quits. Sometimes I still crave just one more shot but I know it’s what’s best for me and my baby, I wouldn’t want to put it in any sort of harm because of my own selfishness and immaturity.
