am i alone in my feelings

Noone around me understands what is going on. I was raped in august and now am pregnant and my parents want to kick me out so i will live on my own and never go home. I feel like no one hears my feelings and dont know what i go though. I try to tell them and they laugh at me. Does anyone know what to do and how to feel?

You are not alone.

Many of us, myself included, have been abused and abandoned. I'm so sorry you have been hurt this way :( and i'm sorry you are not getting the support you need and deserve.

The only thing i can say is to keep trying to reach out to people and organizations that may offer you support.

If you haven't already looked into it, i would suggest you call or go to a local charitable or government housing office to see about housing and a clinic for prenatal and mental health care. Being pregnant alone, you should qualify for some emergency aide.

Each day is a new one. Sometimes i have to take it day by day and even moment by moment but i believe every step forward does add-up to something better even if it's hard to see right now.

~peace~

Hi horsegirl, I was in your situation in my early 20s. Same situation except that I was in college and had already left home for good. I couldn't and didn't turn to my parents because they were at worst abusive (both of them) and at best judgmental. The only person I told was one of my brothers, who helped me through it. Except for him, I was all alone with what I was going through. Having just one person to support me, though, made a lot of difference.

It was a very dark and confusing time for me. I don't know if I know exactly how you feel, but I wanted you to know that it happened to me as well. Now it's decades later and all a distant memory. Know that you'll get through it. I'd urge you to find just one person who'll listen and stand by you and help you through it. More than one person would be great, but just one will make a difference. It doesn't have to be someone you're related to, just someone who's supportive. Also, a therapist would be really good right about now, in case you don't already have one. That's one thing I didn't do but, in retrospect, probably should have. A rape crisis center or hotline should be able to point the way to counseling that's free or affordable.

thanks everyone,
it means the world to me that you write me back. i wish i could just have friends and help.
