Every child is a blessing, and I admire you for your mature thoughts. I just so sad that there are young mothers like you who are not concerned with their kid, they think that having a child is a punishment for them. They just don't care what happens to the baby.

Hello and a warm welcome to myLot! It is habitual that people behave this way because most do not have much positivity and cannot relate to this sort of situation. I am really sorry you have to experience this and well you pay them no mind. I know it is not easy at all to simply ignore but you be the bigger person and let them say what they like you simply do the best job you can with your child and later in life they will live to regret not having supported you emotionally because you will raise your child and assure your child healthy and safe. Good luck to you and know that your child will compensate you with all the love and support in life.
