Hi Laurel,

I agree with Pat, you are on the right track. If your family isn't supportive right now then don't focus on them. You need to be positive and in order to do this you need to be around positive people.

I know a little about what your going through and I know what got me through. It seems that when your in this type of situation everyone turns away from you so to speak and you feel really alone. I think this is one of the reasons why I got into a really close relationship with God and for that I'm so thankful. God was the only one that I could always depend on to be there for me especially when things seemed dark and gloomy. The only advice I can give is do what you know is right and pray and God will help you through this.

If you call this number 1-800-395-4357 , they will help you find a pregnancy center closest to you!

Please feel free to email me anytime if you want to talk. If your ever in NC send me a email! Your in my thoughts and prayers.

Take Care,
Lori

Thanks again for all your help everyone! I clicked on the link Pat gave me and found a center about 45 mins away that has a lot of helpful resources. I guess my biggest concern is finding a job to keep both of us afloat and finding afordable and SAFE childcare. I know sometimes the state will help with childcare costs, so I will look into that. I know I just need to buckle down and take care of things, its just that I've felt so burned out mentally and emotionally for quite a while now that it just seems harder. I know I can do it when the situation calls for it, I've done it before. Your encouragement really helps to motivate me to find the strength to suck it up once again. Thanks again to all and take care!!

Hi Laurel,

I know what you mean about the emotional and physical burn out thing. Thank goodness our lives have changing seasons!

I'm really glad you were able to find a Pregnancy Resource Center somewhat close, even if it's 45 minutes. I think it will be extremely worth it to go as they can help you right there with getting set up with every conceivable resource to you from the state, in addition to all of their free services.

Don't neglect the basic of taking good care of yourself! Extra sleep, good nourishment and patient expectations of yourself right now are definitely in order.

With Kindness,

Heather
