I have a serious issue with my parents. Last May 2005 I became pregnant(before I became a christian). Well the guy who is the father wants nothing to do with me or the baby and that's ok, but my parents kicked me out of the house approximately one month later and seem like they won't talk to me. I have a job and am able to live in a small apartment, but I would love for my baby to have Grand-parents who care and can support a little. I don't know what to do. They are not christians and I only became a christian on October 31st. If you have any suggestions on how to possibly talk with my parents please help.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

It always bothers me to see this when parents kick there kids out.There's not really much you can do besides let god handle it.Does the "father" of your baby have parents?And do they know?Sometimes the parents of thie "father" want to be in the childs life.I know I was a dad and my daughter got pregnant I would support her and let her live there aslong she needed to and watch the child for her.

Continue to try to contact your parents...send them pictures of the little one when it is born...and send them to the parents of the father. They may want to know that they have a grandchild. If they don't respond, keep sending the Christmas/birthday/holiday cards to let them know that you are still their daughter, and that you love them and forgive them. God bless you!

You must understand that your parents have bannished you from their lives due to your irrisponsible behaviour.
But im not here to give you another slap in the face, you are here for help.
So my suggestion is that you try to do your best for your child. If i where you i would stop dating men, or engaging with them for the sole reason that you have enough misery to this point to take care of. If you would engage with a man who treats you horribly then it would all become too much. It is sad that the real father wants to walk away from his child.
But what we mainly have to discuss is your decision making.
Why didn't you get children 'after' you two got married? It would at least added some stability to the relationship. As a result of your decision making , the child is now without a father to look up to, nor does it have acces to its grandparents, and its forced to grow up in a cramped space.
What you need to do is to surround yourself with people that love and support you, and maby can split the load of your shoulders a bit to make it thru the day.
I would gamble for it that time would heal the pain, and as another poster stated sending cards to them to show you still care, hopefully they might still accept you.

By the way, looking at your picture you could earn a fortune on modelling, i would use that money to give your child the future it deserves.

Prayer changes things, I would suggest prayer. I know that God will turn things around for you and I will pray for you also. Amen

It always bothers me as well when parents kick their own children out of the house. Specially when they in need of support the most, it's just not fair. It also bothers me that the father of this baby is being really immature and not taking any responsibilities.
I'm sorry that you have to struggle like this. I agree with heathers post above, mabe you should try to keep in touch with them, mabe they will change their minds and say sorry. How close were you with them, if you dont mind me asking?
I will be remembering you in my prayers. God bless you and your child.
