Dear Vr, you are a wise and beautiful young woman.  You have been through so much already and you are prepared to take on more.  the support of a loving spouse is the best thing in the world.  If you don't have your parents support, it can be really hard to raise a child.  My mom died when I was 18, but my mother in law, God bless her soul, was always there for me.  My sisters were good, but they were opinionated and they had their own lives. Is there a parenting group in your area that you may be able to connect with an at home mom you could bond with and maybe trade favors?  Babysitting would be number one of course, but there could be shopping trips, support for dr. visits, phone support, a shoulder to cry on?   It is just an idea, but you are going to need some support soon and I wish you well.  Bobbie

Hello, nice to meet you, you remind me of my daughter, she is married, has 2+ children 5,4,due 3/10. She went to school and is now a LPN working 3rd shift, not getting enought sleep, problems getting her children to listen to her, usually listen to their daddy...Hang in there as my mom would have said,:"This too shall pass."
