Sensi, I also misinterpreted pull together for 'stay together', and I agree that if someone is so repulsed with their ex at such an early point in the relationship, there's no way in hell the relationship is going to work unless some drastic changes and compromises are made. Being with her is more than likely going to mean unhappiness on STD's part, and it will inevitably show through on the relationship, and thus the child's upbringing.

I'm no psychiatrist, but I've listened to enough Love Line to assert that this girl is in need of some professional help (given). If you decide to keep the baby, I believe it's incredibly necessary for her to seek out said help to work out some of her issues before she even contemplates being able to take care of another human being. According to Freud, most issues stem from childhood experiences, and this child's experiences aren't going to be worth mentioning if the kid's mother remains in her current emotionally unstable mental state for much longer. Seeing as how, even if she does choose to get help, it takes time (more than five months!) to get over these sorts of hurdles, I think you are on the right track considering other options.

Abortion and adoption. I'm for both. If she really cares about the kid, she will take a look at herself and realize she's in no position to be raising a kid. And a fifteen year old to top it off. Everyone says the decision is up to the mother, but I think it should be up to BOTH parents. Afterall there are two lives in question. Mother and father. It's your life too, and I for one wouldn't want to be paying child support just to see my kid being raised by someone who can't even take care of herself.

My two cents, sorry if I didn't add anything to the discussion.

WHOA.

Dude...you scare me haha.

I listen to Love Line, dude your too much like me. Who sent you heeeeeeere!?
