[quote=Anonymous]OP—I haven’t read the responses in this thread. I can only imagine how horrible/confusing they are for you.

I was your daughter. Though I got pregnant by a guy I went to high school with in summer break. Please. No questions about that. Ha!  I had gone away to college and he was at community college (oh those abs! He was hot back then I swear).  I wasn’t going to abort so I went back to college for first quarter (clue to school) my junior year and spoke to school. They were very helpful!! This was before online schooling so I was able to make it though second quarter before giving birth. I took off spring quarter and summer. When I returned in the fall they put me and my daughter in grad student housing. I was able to get a ton of help. There are other mothers who were grad students (top university) and I still had a few of my friends. Between the other mothers and friends I had childcare and it was my jr/de year so I was able to work out a schedule where I only had class 3 days a week. It was tough, I won’t lie but have to admit 
looking back pretty seamless. I did live with my parents after giving birth for about 4 months but have been on my own since then. We are close but I have always been independent. I moved to DC right after graduation and have lived here since.  I am married now with 4 more kids. I have always worked and am the breadwinner in our family. Honestly? We have a great life. I couldn’t have done it with out the guidance office at my college. They were amazing and such a resource. Reach out to them. My daughter graduated from college last spring.  It may all seem scary and confusing right now but a path will emerge!  Good luck. [/quote]
