Question

family problems

Hi ladies,
Just wondering if any of you have been in a similar position or what you would do.
I have an Italian boyfriend, whom is lovely and treats me very well. However my family (mother father) despise him simply because he isn't a white English man. I've just found out that I am pregnant, and they will not accept my baby. They have said before hypothetically that they wouldn't accept a half Italian baby so I don't know how t tell them. They also said they would kick me out of my home (I'm currently 20 living at home) however my boyfriend and his family are happy and wish for me to come and live with them there, and find the news good news. My family are extremely racist and foul tempered and if I stay here I would have nowhere to go.

What should I do? And how should I tell them about the pregnancy? They'll push for abortion, but i could not ever harm this baby.
Thank you so much ladies xox

Hopefully, the two options you are giving aren't the only ones you are considering. I recommend counseling with your church or through Christian counseling services for the best possible plan. Obviously, you need support to make a sound decision. Best wishes.

I am sure that when you're parents see their little grandchild they will soon change their minds about accepting the little person into their life. Given you have the offer to move in with you bf anyway I think maybe you should tell them you are pregnant - who knows, they may surprise you when the reality hits them.

Cutting ties with family, specially at this point, may be a hard situation to bounce back from but you know the situation best. It is up to you but do get some advice from counselling as Mozard suggested before making your decision.

Good luck.

If I situation is toxic for you, no matter family or not it's okay to walk away. I had a very toxic relationship with my mother and no one told me it was okay to walk away, until two years ago when a counselor said that it was okay. some family issues can totally be worked through and if you have a good relationship with your family and there is a lot of love and respect then I say try and work things out. But if you don't feel loved and respected for who you are, and when you are with them they make you feel like you cannot be yourself then I would consider making a new life for yourself. It doesn't make you a bad person to decide to put yourself and your babies needs first. I hope it all works out no matter what you decide. Good luck.
