I doubt your mother hates you Star, but if you were my daughter I would be very disappointed in your judgement.
You say you have been together with your boyfriend for a long time - how long is long to a 16 year old? In some states a man can be charged with rape for having sex with a girl your age. Your family can bring the charges. If your bf joins the army he will be sent to Iraq and you will be alone. What if something happens to him? You are not married, you are not entitled to anything that is his. Who will take care of the baby while you are at school? Childcare is expensive. It costs about $1000 a month to raise a child - do you have that kind of money?
You have created a trap for yourself and I don't see any easy way out. I don't know enough about you or your mother to offer a direct solution to your problem. I do hope you will try and make peace with your mother, you are going to need her support.
Someone is prescribing that Prosac.
Call that doctor immediately and make an appointment to discuss your meds and your pregnancy.
Your mother doesn't love you, but you have "a ton of stuff" that you can sell? Something doesn't add up here.
ok so those of you who have replied to my post: my mom tells me everyday she hates me and the stuff that i have, i bought myself, like my computer, my clothes, my shoes, my cd's, my jewelery, my camera, my cell phone, pretty much everything i have i bought, besides my furniture and mattress. i had a job, but i had to quit because the smell of the food i sold made me sick now that i'm pregnant, and my manager was sexist and wouldnt put me on the schedule unless i confronted him about it. i am currently job hunting now both here and where my boyfriend lives....we havve been together for almost 3 years now.
Just to recap-- 16 years old, clinically depressed and unemployed. And of course unmarried and mom "hates" you. Boyfriend-- presumably 18 or so-- about to go into the Army (seen the divorce rates for service marriages? Not to mention the divorce rate for teenage marriages...).
What made you think pregnancy was a good idea?
If you have a head on your shoulders, give the baby up for adoption.
Found this:
Can I take Prosac if I'm pregnant.
The answer is NO!

Austin has an amazing place where the mothers live there and work and the center cares for the babies. And the mothers learn work skills and skills to aid them care for their children. Indiana will have that too.
