Im also mad at her because she is more than likely gonna stay with him. Thats crazy he obviously tried to KILL my daughter HER granddaughter. I started having contractions if I would have had her theres a HUGE chance she would not have made it. How could you forgive a man of that?
I have a lot of sympathy for you. You obviously have a very bad family situation, but you are responsible for your child, regardless of this family situation.

You went someplace where you weren't wanted, insisted on having your way and then stated you would not leave until you got your way. These actions put your unborn child in a very harmful situation and almost caused a premature birth.

I understand you needed your things, but it was not worth the sacrifice to your baby. It is understood by doctors today that stress is very harmful to unborn children. Just Google stress and unborn baby.

While you cannot control the actions of others (your mother or your step-father), you should be able to control your actions.

I wish you and your child the best.

Sorry little girl, you're only 20, so I'll just say that you not only have a lot to learn, but you have some maturing to do.

Mom's husband DOES come before you. Don't pit them against each other.

All 3 of you acted stupidly. Mom said not now, but you insisted. Why do you think you're so special?

Thats YOUR opinion. I dont think you should put ANYONE before your children EVER. I know I wont. When my daughter gets here and down the line I get married to someone else and he hits her I am 100% for sure not taking his side. Thats a fact.

It's a hard pill to swallow, but maybe he supports her financially, and maybe she's not strong enough to stand on her own two feet so she stays with this man. You're 20, pregnant, not married, throwing chairs at windows, having hissy fits WHILE YOU ARE CARRYING A CHILD! Calm the eff down, get your life together. Quit worrying about your mama and her man, because you're being JUST as codependent as she is.

And why in the sam hill would you think that the man you marry "down the line" is going to hit your child? Get your life drama free, miss thang and then you won't have to worry about some dude hitting your child. Get right with yourself FIRST and FOREMOST.

Your step dad was dead wrong, but you throwing a tantrum and hiding behind "I'm pregnant" does not excuse your actions. You're pregnant, so you SHOULD behave better.

Your response to the posts show you are immature. You need anger management, this is how you will be with your bf and with your baby. Not good dear.

Yea, your mom is a liar and tried to protect a man who tried to kill her own granddaughter.

And she is crazy for telling you to wait a week to get the furniture when she knew from the start the date that you will be coming to get it. Who the heck does that. I mean sure, you could have slept on your couch for a week, but there must be some strange reason why she can't just let you get your stuff and she failed to give a good explanation. She could have told somebody else to control the dog if her husband was leaving. There were a billion ways to solve this issue. It's really no sweat off her back.

You should just not talk to her anymore - and don't store any more stuff at her house or involve her in any way.

How do you think SHE feels.....I'm not excusing the man for punching you...not at all...but you must know this whole sordid episode could have been avoided if you'd just been a little more patient.......

Umm, why didn't the people who were helping you move intervene? I don't know about your situation, but if any of my friends would have seen a man put me out of my momma's house they'd come up to me to see if they were needed. I wouldn't need a girlfriend from down the street to happen to hear my screams before help arrived. Assuming my momma would ever let any person put me out of her house, that is.

I'm with h866 on this. Violence perpetuates violence. You threw a chair, and threatened your step-father with retaliation by your boyfriend. Two wrongs don't make it right, and you need to get a grasp on your own emotions before your baby is born.

Nobody should hold their head up after this kind of confrontation.
