After telling my mom i was preganant she yelled at me and was telling me all these things and basically wouldnt stop til i told her i'd do what she wanted and abort it. I am NOT going to. but it was the only thing i could tell her to make her stop. she keeps telling me things like "you can pay for this since you're the one who decided you were going to be an adult." but she wont let me leave. my boyfriend's mom said i could live with them. and she's suppotive of us and our baby. but my mom said she wasnt even going to pay for me to go to the doctor or anything. i dont know what to do. i live in Tennessee. so if i moved out could i get on TennCare insurance which pays for everything? how do you even go about doing that sorta thing? should i get emancipated? how much does it cost? has anyone else been through the same type of situation and what did you do about it? my mom also expects me to pay for the abortion(cause she thinks it's going to happen, but it isnt). how could she basically force me to do this AND expect me to pay for it when it isnt even what i want? she says things like, "it'll be the best choice you ever made in your life." i cant imagine aborting my baby. i am pro-choice but i personally cant do it. i dont know if i should move out or what. since im an adult now, as she says. and apparently in tennessee once you reach a certain age and your parents tell you to get out, you can leave and you get in trouble for it. should i just try to make her say this then leave?

I'd try talking to your bfs mom/family since they seem more supportive. It won't be easy, but if it's what you want to do it will be worth it :)
Try to look for a non profit organization that helps out moms in your area, they can help you figure out insurance and everything. Good luck!!

Do you think your Mom will harm you, if you tell her you want to keep the baby?

Ask your mom to remove you from the insurance. How long until you are 18? It isn't worth it to be emancipated if you will be 18 soon.

i have a whole year til i turn 18 and with getting emancipated apparently you can file it a certain way so it could be free. but i would try to pay for it first. and im not so sure anymore that my mom wouldnt hurt me. the way she yelled at me and got in my face and stuff.

if your bf's family will let you stay there I would try to get emancipated and leave. good luck.
