[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17:15 here. Just wanted to say thanks to 17:32 & 19:33 for your kind words. It has not always been easy, but it's definitely been an interesting ride. I realize that I am incredibly lucky to not only have a supportive family, but also to have managed to find a man that stuck by me and is very focused on providing a good life for his family. We sometimes have little "look at us now" moments and I'm always so proud of my husband. His father was out of the home and not the best, so I'm so glad that, despite growing up with a single Mom, he turned out to be such a great Dad and husband.

19:33, the story about your friend gives me hope. Although you can never tell what kids will do (I'm a perfect example..no one suspected because I was such a bookworm!), I believe that my children are on the right path. My oldest is an honor student and will be off to college in 2013. Fortunately for me, she's not interested in having a boyfriend (she is a bit socially awkward...both a curse and a blessing for me as a Mom!).

Of course being a teen mom the statistic are stacked against you, but I think too many people on here have watched a few too many episodes of Teen Mom. I've seen some pretty horrific parenting out of "older" moms too.

My one and only experience is my friend who had her baby at 14 and you have a leg up on her. Her daughters father spent time in jail for drug dealing and in general turned out to be a HUGE loser, annd if she could be a great mom despite the horrible father, looks like you are almost home free!  Good luck, you are breave posting your story on here, there are some really bitter birds who love nothing more than the attack on this site (as illustrated by them pratically calling your husband a rapist-I'm more worried about their kids than yours!)[/quote]
