I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties. There's not a lot that hurts quite like an unsupportive family. You're feelings are valid.

It's an unfortunate truisim in this world that people generally won't take you seriously until you're in your mid twenties or beyond. Stick to your guns. You are making a strong choice that flies in the face of lifescript and that rarely goes unchallenged. I know what helps me is thinking about all the time and money I will be saving day after day when other people our age are flushing it down the toilet raising their brood. And when they bring up the possibility of regret, remember that goes both ways and parents can just as easily regret having children.

My one real concern is about the boyfriend. While CF and Fencesitters can probably be happy in the short run, Children or their absence aren't negotiable in relationships. They are make and break and feelings will sour if people aren't living their life how they want it, breeders or not. Honest, open, and frequent communication is your best tool.

I'm not a counselor or anything, but I hope I helped!
