Posted by Anonymous on 2012/12/31 under Uncategorized I am a single mother with one son that I love very much. He is fifteen years old. And last night… he came home crying. He ran up to his room, and stayed there for a long time. He eventually came back downstairs and asked to talk. He got his girlfriend pregnant. I had always warned about safe sex. He is dating the sweetest girl, and they really do love each other. But…. pregnancy. And he said that she called him and told him that he was the father. I don’t really know what to do because this is such a hard time for my son. I want to be supportive of him, but I also want him to know that what he did was wrong. I just can’t really get on my son’s level because I am a woman and we don’t really see things eye to eye you know? I don’t know the things he is thinking. I want him to be a good father, but I want him to finish school and do successful things with his life. I feel so horrible for all this to happen. Please help me. I don’t know what to say to my son. I just don’t know how to help in this kind of situation.
If they decide to go through with the pregnancy then he has no choice but to step up as a father. You have been both mother and father to him, and you obviously did something right for him to be able to trust you and come and tell you. So be there for him like you always have been.
Its hard work, but he can do both…be a good father and finish his education. You dont need to give him the third degree about what he did was wrong, he will already be feeling the pressure, both the mother and father will.
As they are so young, you will probably need to sit with the girls parents and discuss the next step for them both, how both sides are going to support your children in going forward.
Umm.. This is a hard one I will come back in a minute.. Let me think… :{
