Okay...i was with a guy for over 3 years. we are both 19 years old now. we broke up about 2 months ago. we continued to have sex over the time we have been broken up. i recently found out that i am pregnant. he found another person to be with and but says he still loves me and wants to make this work and have a family one minute and the next says he doesnt want anything to do with me and for me to get an abortion. i dont know what to do and i know that i need to figure it out soon. i dont want to do anything that i am going to regret in the future. i work at a minimum wage job and still live at home with my mom and cant afford to raise a child alone. i also come from divorced parents and know how hard that can be on a kid. i am also a person that wouldnt even think of an abortion if i wasnt in this situation. please help out and give me some good advice. im so confused right now.

Another option to consider would be adoption. It's definately not an easy option - I've had several people tell me that adoption was actually the hardest decision they ever made, but they've also told me that they don't regret making that decision. There's a lot of people that don't think adoption is a good decision, but having had quite a bit of experience with it, I can tell you that adoption can be a really good decision. It's not the right decision for everyone, but it's a great decision for some.
Best of luck as you decide what to do about your pregnancy!
