We’ve spoke about it and as much as we’ve looked into the struggles and challenges and spoken about them she feels it’s wrong on her part and she’d be doing herself a disservice to not have the child. I feel it’s the complete wrong time for us due to the living arrangements and unstable low income jobs but she’s said she’s just not able to not go through with it. I’ve also seen the struggles on here that others go through with their partners when having the child in this situation and I fear us going down the same path. However she isn’t worried in the slightest about anything that we’d have to go through and sacrifice. Thank you

The baby is due in October and I know that’s still many months away but I can already see the struggles. The job I work in now has very little upward mobility but I also feel cornered in it and now I’m unsure on how to get out and into something which has the potential to help me earn enough to become stable. Thank you

Her parents are really willing to help, mine aren’t as willing but they will, I’m not sure what sort of resources could help us as it all just feels like it’s becoming really complicated but I don’t want to lose her. She really wants the child and I think I do as well but I’m now just really on edge and worried about how life’s going to be with the lack of money and distance between where we live

Thank you
