stressed and overwhelmed..

I currently am 21, 22 soon and I live with my parents. My dad is super awesome 90% of the time and my mom is super annoying 100% of the time. She's super controlling and always is asking how I'm going to handle this baby and how it's going to be to much for me etc... she never makes me feel good about anything much less this baby. I've hated living with her since I was younger and I don't know how much longer I can take this. My boyfriend and I currently don't make enough together to get a place of our own and he doesn't have the space to have me stay with him and his dad as he already has a friend living there... how can I tell my mom she needs to stop talking and making me feel the way she does without getting too stressed. I already have high blood pressure and am a high risk pregnancy.. I just can't handle losing my baby and being under this much stress. Any advice?

Well good luck....i know it ***** but you seem like you're doing everything you can right now, just try to relax, think about your baby, and be extremely nice to your mom (even if she isn't so nice to you) because as soon as you're out of the house get attitude will change!! It sounds like she needs to feel needed and by putting you down she is trying to keep you needing her!  Once you leave she will be sad and probably go through some degree of loss.... so just try to understand for now!! I know it's hard to see right now but I'm sure she loves you and you will need her once this baby comes!!!

I understand. ...i was living at home with my first, my bf lived almost 2 hours away and came to visit on weekends but my step dad is an alcoholic and we fought constantly, to the point where he would walk in the door and my heart would race!! I finally got kicked out and moved into a tiny efficiency with my bf just so we could get out!! If you don't work you should get cash assistance and food stamps which might help a little!! Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and figure out some way to apease your parents, or figure out some way too get out asap!! You are considered homeless if you don't pay rent and live at home.... That means you should qualify for emergency housing too!! Hope that all helps..... Good luck hun!
