New babies are suppose to be a good thing.
When you find out someone is pregnant you're suppose to be happy.
Right?
I just found out my favorite little cousin is pregnant. She's not working right now and neither is HE. She has fibromyalgia and they're living in a packed house with her mom.
So what now? Horrible timing. It's not fair. She deserves better. She's worked so hard all her life to NOT be a statistic, to NOT be a young mom depending on her parents. Now this. Just like everyone else? NO. I'm just so sad. I know it's not about me, ffs. She and I are so close...she deserves more. I cried on the drive home. This child will be born into a fucked up world with this shitty economy, living off the government with parents who are still babies themselves.
This fuckin sucks.
