"What if he leaves?"

Wednesday, May 19, 2010

My relationship with my boyfriend has been kind of crazy, We are always on and then off again, We are expecting twin boys in July and I’m not sure if we break up again if he will be there for them, and that kind of scares me, I don’t know what I should do, At this point I’m so scared of him leaving, I won’t have anyone there for me once he walks out, Because no one wants to be with a teenage mother, What do I do? Should I go ahead and call it off or just wait it out?


Expecting a child is a big deal, expecting twins is an even BIGGER DEAL.  If he’s not willing to sit down and talk, get both your parents involved.  Supporting and taking care of twins is a lot of responsibility and he needs to bear his part of the load.  As their father, he is just as responsible for taking care of your babies and preparing for their future as you are.  He needs to be present and active in every part of their lives.  Your children deserve that.  You’ve stepped out of the teenage role into parenthood.  You both are going to have to step up to the plate and prepare for the future of your children.

Being a parent is stressful and complicated.  Being a teen parent is even more so. 

One decision that you must make is not to be in an unhealthy relationship.  If you are always worrying that he is going to walk out of your relationship that is not healthy. 

Another important decision that the two of you must make is how you will care for your children. . 

If you are in the Chattanooga area we have a class called Love’s Cradle for non-married expectant parents that you might find helpful.  You can take it as a couple or individually.  It is free.  For more information, click here. 

You guys need to have a serious sit down SOON!
