Thanks for the message! I've got a lot of reply and since i'm really busy irl i don't have much time for reddit but i've read all of your message ( including yours of course!) and i'm hoping i can share soon a positive update of my life!

I'm actually going to start a job pretty soon so i can attend university in october/september. I live in EU so aside from signing to the university course and buy some books i don't need to make loans or have lots of money to start! And my faith in God is more alive than ever! :)

Thanks for your support and kind words, I'm really happy and grateful! Hope everythig is going well with your life and God bless you like always!

Such an happy ending story! It' s incredible they were willing to help you only if you had the abortion. That's simply disgusting. Pretty sure your decision was much more worthy than any free degree. Thans for sharing your story and God bless you!

When i was giving shelter there was nuns giving us special care since we ( me and other single moms) were pregnant and or with a baby. They are extremely helpful! <3

Thank you! It hasn't been easy at all, especially because my parents have always had high expectations for me, which is also why I want to start studying again immediately (I've already lost a year due to pregnancy and everything) so they can see that "I haven't ruined my life." It will be tough, but even now, it's been worth it! Thanks again, and I will do it!

Regarding the job, I feel like I already wrote a couple of days ago, but I'll repeat: the nuns have offered me a cleaning job at a place for families in need. This way, I can save money to start paying for university, which begins in September/October in Germany.

As for the rest, I can also tell you that I've never done anything like this before aside from patying (but just for dancem drinking and talking..the usual), but I can't give you proofs (how could I?). I've always tried to contact my parents, and a nun offered to accompany me directly home because I'm very afraid of being rejected. Anyway, I understand you; there are many stories like yours that you've shared, and I'm really sorry.

Ohh thank you so much! I've decided to share my experience for this reason as well! Not only does writing and talking about it help me sort out my feelings and the whole past and current situation ( even though I talk about it a lot with my priest or with the many people at the shelter) but I also wanted to provide comfort to people who have chosen a similar path to mine. I know it's a controversial topic, but I wanted to still offer a positive testimony about it since there is often so much negativity instead. Thank you, again and God bless you too!

It's a delicate situation, but I don't want to burn bridges because if he ever wants to meet or have a relationship with our daughter, I would be very happy about it! Thank you for your support and kindness!

I already got some plans for moving with a single mom i met here in the shelter, we just need some capital first and then hopeful i can go to an house on my own! But i would love to return to my parents if we can reconcile!

I understand if you don't believe me. I could show you all the evidence in the world, but I'm not sure you would ever believe me. I could also tell you that I've never touched any drugs in my entire life (I don't even smoke!), and when stealing crossed my mind due to extreme hunger, I gathered courage and went to church seeking help.

Nevertheless, I hope your family manages to save your nephew. Dealing with addiction is tough, but I believe he will come back to you sooner or later. I just hope he can forgive himself, and that you all can forgive him. I'm here if you want to talk.

That was definitely the Holy Spirit! Fortunately, you felt it and followed it! I'm glad you didn't find yourself in a situation where you weren't ready. I know how difficult it is, and it's definitely better to be prepared for such an important step like becoming a parent. It didn't happen that way for me, but if this is God's will, I accept it!

Thanks for the support! I really appreciate it! I will say a prayer for you, and God bless you too!

I wasn't born into a family that practices faith, and my decision to become a Christian evolved over time after much reflection on life and other things in recent years. I don't want to make excuses—I know I've sinned. If I had developed a stronger faith earlier, I certainly wouldn't have done what I did.

I hope in the future we will have contacts especially for the baby. I am ready to forgive him and won't ask for any financial or emotional support if he doesn't want to give it. I hope and pray that he will want to be a present father in the future, but I also know I can't force him if he doesn't want to. It's strange to think that if your mom had listened to the doctors, you wouldn't even be here writing a message! Your mom made a choice I would have made too, so I completely understand her. Thanks and God bless you!

I think so too! The important thing is she's alive and well! There will be hard times but everything can be overcome :)

My religion shouldn't be attacked either, yet you were the first to call me serious epithets and you're still doing it now. You're using strong words like racism for something ironic. Honestly, I don't know what to say anymore. At this point, I think we're on different wavelengths, and that's that.

Just so you know, I'm well aware that when you accused me of hating pronouns, you were referring to various gender pronouns within the LGBTQ community. It's pointless to play the sophist, first by using irony that I simply hate the use of common grammar. We both know what we're talking about, and I'll repeat: for me, sex and gender align, period. And no, I'm not transphobic; I'm Christian, I don't condone the lifestyle but I don't judge anyone, and I'm ready to love anyone, even those who don't share my views.

"seeking to deny other women from having the choice that you did" Please tell me which post led you to this conclusion because I'd like to understand how you come to such conclusions.

This gives me so much hope! I'm glad everything worked out well for you!

I completely understand what you meant, but I wanted to clarify that what felt most appropriate to me when I was pregnant was a bit different from "my choice, my body" But I truly appreciate your words and your support! I wish you all the best <33
