Too young to marry? I'm only 16!?

I am frightened for your future. You have gotten off to a really fast start in life. Why did you get pregnant so soon after your previous pregnancy? That pregnancy was unfortunate, but you turned the situation around and became a loving mother. I am proud of you for that. Now that you have allowed another pregnancy to develop, it is time to put the baby first and ensure its future. The child deserves to be born into a family, not just be the by product of a love affair. Is it possible you truly love this man and truly want to be a wife and mother? If so, go for it. When your mother-in-law sees the situation as being permanent , perhaps she will soften. Never allow her or anyone else to make a difference between your older child and the new baby. It is an all or nothing-at-all deal. If you marry the father of your baby, talk about the future at length. What are the hopes and dreams you both have. You are so young, lots of issues may arise to challenge you. Together, you can face whatever comes. Why don't you have a talk with your future mother-in-law. Ask her sweetly and sincerely if she can ever accept you. Tell her what you love about her son. Tell her what you believe you bring to the relationship. Let her know you realize you are young have have lots to learn, but you are willing to listen to advice. Best wishes.
