I feel pregnant at 17 i felt alone and so many things happened before i fell pregnant that i am not proud of but should not be the only one suffering . im not sure who my little boys father is because after my ex boyfriend i loved him he was my first and done things i later on regreated im trying to make things right and get a dna test done to finally clear the air but my partner now is making me feel guilty for doing it even though i reassure him that everything will be okay and he has no reason to be worried as i do not feel that way about my ex now i have another baby to this man but he offends me and says that im a gronk and that i will never see my kids again and that i have no rights even if i stood up in court its just offends me and makes me feel really upset , and stressed and depressed im trying to do the right thing but the more i try to fix my path the more i feel like even if i do things still will be wrong anyway but i am doing it for my son not for them so he knows who hes dad is best to do it know rather then later i thought id right to vent and see if anyone has been in this situation what was the outcome?

Hi proudmum,

Its pretty unfair for your current partner to get upset at you for getting a DNA test done. If you feel threatened in any way please call triple 0 and get help immediately. I've had a few friends that have become pregnant at a young age and it's hard enough with supportive partners, let alone without them.

You are trying to do the right thing and it's also the right thing for your son to know. If you are feel capable of talking to a counsellor about things then they will be the best person to help you improve how you are feeling. They have a free web chat service available here on the beyondblue main page thats private, accessible and anonymous. There are plenty of mothers on here that should be able to give you some advice as well.

Hang in there,

Ben
