Shannon ... I would like to congratulate you on the pregnancy I am sorry that your husband is angry over the pregnancy and you stated that there is some marital abuse and stress. I am only offering advice here - you are TOO young to be going through this. You have to do something to ensure a safe enviroment for you and your daughter - and your unborn child. It sounds like the pregnancy was not planned - but hey it takes 2 to tango ... and thank goodness you are healthy - things could be worse.... you could have come home and told your husband that you had a terminal illness ... like I said thank goodness! I understand the stress that an unplanned pregnancy may be putting on you and your marriage ...I am on the other end of things, my marriage was put through the test with fertility issues .... but it has made us stronger. Maybe the situations are completly opposite - but they are both big life changing situations...so I do know the stress

I am really concerned for you and your daughter - there are shelters and assistance out there if you decided to take that route ....maybe you could go back home with your parents ? It makes me so sad when I hear that someone is in a situation like yours and they feel trapped. I hope you know that you are not trapped - the are people out there who will help you.

If you would like me to help you find a safe place for you and your daughter - I would be more than happy to help ... if you are just looking for someone to talk to or listen - I would be just as happy to be there for you.

I wish you much luck and peace in your life ..... Please keep us posted as to how things are going!

Best wishes Shannon!
