Hi Shelby,

Well I think you have enough on your plate right now in adjusting to the news that you are pregnant. I commend you for eschewing abortion and honoring the life of a new human being. I will be praying for you.

My thoughts still run along the lines that it would be a very good thing to tell your sister, and maybe ask if you can live with her for awhile? If not her, then another trusted relative. Once you let someone else in on your world, you will be surprised how much support will surface for you, I'll bet.

As for not ruining your family, dear Shelby that is not up to you. You are not responsible for your father or your mother or the family unit staying together or happy. You are responsible only for what is in front of you. It may be uncomfortable to put things in the lights, but setting a broken bone is uncomfortable, too. Once it's done, though, healing can take place properly. If you leave a setting and cast off a broken bone you escape the uncomfortableness of that treatment, but the bone can't heal.

Regardless, one day at a time for you dearest. You're doing a great job so far just coping. Please know the door is wide open here for you to post as often/freely as you like.

With Kindness,

Heather
