I'm 18, new mom to be, and my boyfriend walked out

[Youngmomma15]

I live in an apartment that me and my boyfriend share and recently we were dealing with being evicted, everything's a mess and I was trying to look for a place for us to live, and my boyfriend told me he didn't want to be with me anymore, and doesn't even want to be involved. He left, hasn't even helped to make sure i have a place to stay and i don't have any family to turn to. I'm only 12 weeks but I'm so scared and alone

Ok.

Do you have friends in the area?

Why were you being evicted?

You’re very young and say you don’t have family - were you in care? If so the local social workers may have some support available.

Do you work?

im so sorry to hear you have to go through this. do you have a place to live right now? if not, then try to get in contact with england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/housing_for_young_people/housing_options_for_young_parents as it can tell you what your rights are when being evicted etc. this website could also help, they provide accommodation for younger parents. www.sbhg.co.uk/accommodation-for-young-mothers .next, do you have any savings at all? try and spend the least amount you can, and use up any food at all that you may have in your cupboards. there is also a helpline you can call, they will able to offer better advice than i can, 0808 800 2222. i wish you all the best x

Are you in the uk

I actually dont live in the UK i live in the US, and I'm getting evicted because im behind on the rent after I had misplaced one of my checks i had and was waiting on my work to reissue me another one. The only friends i have in the area are my coworkers and three times my age.
My fathers side of the family doesn't want to be around me because my boyfriend is mexican and they arent really friendly with any other race, and my mom side lives across the country and i can't afford to move

I would rethink whether having a baby is a good idea. It doesn't sound like a good idea.

I’m so sorry you’re having to cope with all this when you’re still so young.
If you are only 12 weeks pregnant, you could consider a termination, rather than have to be a single parent and possibly homeless, with no family support nearby. Are there any counselling services or charitable support agencies in your area, OP? Do you have health insurance, and does it cover pregnancy? In the U.K. all this is free on the NHS, but I think you said you live in the US.

If you are only 12 weeks pregnant, you could consider a termination

Might be too late in the US. It can also be expensive.

I think you need to look at seeing a crisis center, OP. But I'd get a termination if possible. The US is no place to be if you're single, homeless and have no money.

Would your family help you out with money to move closer to your mum? You’ll need family support if possible if you go ahead as a single parent.

I’d seriously consider moving to be closer to your Mum. Could you stay with a friend for a while to keep up with your job until nearer the baby’s due date?
If your Mum would be supportive and the only thing standing in the way is the distance reach out to her. Would your Dad be supportive now the boyfriend is no longer in the picture? I’m not sure what to make of your Dad if his issue with the ex boyfriend is that he’s “Mexican” but regardless of race the ex walking out isn’t painting him in a great light. Not sure how financial child support works in the US but I’d look into that too so the Daddy pays his fair share.

there is a helpline you can call, who may be able to help you sort things out.
