I'm currantly pregnant with baby number 7 and I'm scared to death. I'm 33 so I'm not young, but my husband left me 2 years ago and the baby is a product of a one night stand. My boyfriend is retarded and his sister is trying to break us up. I can't handle having the baby with no support. I just need some support.

Can you get some sort of financial assistance through the state that you live in? Maybe call your Dept. of Social Services and they should be able to help you out. Do you live in government assisted housing? If not, here is a website that may help you find a place to live.

Hope this helps a little and good luck

Hello! I don't know what state you live in, but check in the phone book for a Crisis Pregnancy Center. They have tons of assistance such as free counceling, free diapers, free maternity and baby clthes, etc... Just about anything you could imagine, they could help you with. Some can even help you find housing. You have to look in the yellow pages under abortion alternitives. I know what you are going through is extremely overwhelming, but babies are a precious blessing and there are so many avenues of help out there, so don't give up! Let us know how you are doing!
