[quote=Anonymous]OP, I hear you and empathize for you, I can't imagine, but....you haven't really answered, or perhaps thought about, the actual day to day reality of what it would have been like for a 15 year old with a newborn.
Who would pay for food, clothing diapers?
Who would watch the baby while you were at school?
College?
Who would watch the baby if you wanted to go out with your friends?
How would you pay for someone to watch the baby?
These are just off the top of my head, but trying to see the logical, hard truth of a 15 year old having a baby without parents who agree to shoulder the responsiblity.  I think you did a wonderful thing and hate that you are so filled with regret.
As a parent myself, I am raising as many children as I can afford, balancing their needs with retirement, college savings, future and current health needs of my husband and I.
It is not that easy to agree to take another another child essentially what your parents would have had to do, let alone the physical demands.
If your parents were already poor and struggling?[/quote]
