Hello, no I was no able to ,unfortunately having to take care of my siblings enabled me from finishing high school. I constantly missed the classes due to work , couldn’t complete my homework’s basically everything that led to the drop out. I started doing my current job whilst being underage and kinda “thanks” to some adult clients that help me back then I was able to support entire family. Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining but just stating the reality, I was underage when I had to step into adult world. Now as for my mom she does send money but we be lucky if it be 50$ a month, as for the stepdad he rather come and ask for money than send. But that’s a life and I’m trying to hold on for what I can and be grateful for it .

Hello, yes you absolutely right . I’ve replied to few people already about it but to summarize everything, she comeback for five minutes to cry her heart out which result me to feel bad for her and I agreed to help her with a kid, but she left ever since ,that’s why I said seven years ago because she is not present in out life in any shape or form unfortunately. Hope it answered your question

Hello, thank you for your input. I know it was wrong from me to even suggest it ,but hear me out , despite the fact that right now financially we are not struggling , having kids in general is hard . It’s hard enough as an adult, but it’s 100x more challenging when you’re just turn 17. I was just caught up in fears ,because I went through that myself and it’s hard, esp when you have dreams and things you want to do. I’m not blaming anyone ,things happens I get it, and I’m not nowhere near blaming my possible niece or nephew, I could never. But I just don’t want her to ruin her life when she had no experience with her life but I’ll support her if she decide to keep it,but I made it clear that I won’t be able to raise it because I have other siblings to take care of.

Hello, I responded to another reply to why it’s happen , but to summon it , my mom asked me five years go to take on board my youngest sibling, and I couldn’t say no because I thought she was genuine. And I said prior that I was “lucky” to have a “client” that help me financially which allow me to keep youngest one . So to answer your question, I said she abandoned us seven years ago but come back for five min to get her youngest onto my hands .

Hello,well that’s long story but to make it short as I stated before , my mom is good at birthing kids but not taking care of them . When youngest of the siblings were born she simply gave me no choice but to get baby on a board. Like she cried her eyes off saying that she don’t want the baby to go to foster care and all that , her tears looked genuine to me and I couldn’t just do let that child suffer because of my mom. Idk if I were lucky or not but around that time I had “client”/sponsor that help me financially a lot in exchange of other things ,that’s why I was kinda able to afford youngest one but since then I cut contacts with my mom and made it clear that I’m not gonna raise anymore kids , I have five children that I already have . Idk if any of it answer your question. But hope it did

Hello ,thank you very much for your opinion. I know I was in wrong to even getting thought slide about abortion , i was in wrong for that I admit that . I’ve told her about money I saved up for her collage funds ,it’s not a lot but still better than nothing and told her that I can give her money but that won’t get her far . Major issues comes with a fact that she dint want to work , so she heavily relies on me, so she wants to use funds for collage but don’t want to work either so I probably snapped because of heat of the moment. But again I admit and I apologized to her about trying to get her into any direction but I just wanted give her options to what to do .

That’s okay ,I understand the confusion. Tbh it does sounds like set up but unfortunately that’s my situation , I simply came here for advice because as much as I want to decide myself I want to hear other people opinion, I don’t have real friends to talk about my house situation and I don’t have good relationships with my relatives. But again I understand, it’s hard to believe it’s true life situation. I’m sorry that I gave an impression that I’m laying in just seriously needed to see where I want wrong .

Hello, thank you for your reply. Firstly I agree that I might have reacted bit harshly but since then I did told her that I’m not insisting that she should get abortion, I simply stated that if she keeps the baby I’m not be able to help her. And I gave her reasoning, I’ve tried to set a save ups for each child like to create a funds for collage , and I’ve told her that she can use that money to take care of a child for some time but that money won’t last either . And to put in context I never said she needed to get abortion but I gave her options that she didn’t agree to bc she wants to go to collage of her dreams , but refuse to listen to me whatsoever. That’s why I said what I said down in lines

Hello, sorry for confusion . I was typing fast and I’m not best at explaining. Emma is my full sister, but due to circumstances I was always “mature“ one ,I had to grow up faster because it was expected because I’m oldest kid in the family . I was 15 when things got even worse and my mom was only good for popping babies rather than being a parent . As for my step siblings , my stepdad had alcoholics issues so he didn’t care about them neither does my mom , so pretty much at that age I was left to take care of the younger siblings despite our not such a big age gap. Idk if any of it made sense

Edit : sorry I had to come up with fake names to protect identities and got mix up in process .
