I am about to have my second child in a few weeks here and my plans were to go and start up where I left off but in the process everyone constantly tries to make me feel inferior and weak and like I`m not going to amount to anything. The only way that I don`t see myself amounting to anything is if I stay here with the people that call them selves my family but only act like it when they need or want something from me. I`m tired of ending up feeling guilty or like I`m being selfish just because I want to live my own life and to give my babies a chance at a good life as well, but of coarse no one else looks at it that way.

 You're a grown adult, with children. You deserve to be treated like one. If you've made plans, follow through. Pack your bags tonight, and go. Your parents can say and think what they want, but you have the choice to ignore it. Unless your family can take all the money that you have in your bank account, take custody of your child, or take away your home, then they're really powerless. If they aren't willing to understand, it's really just as simple as taking your bag, and walking out. Sometimes what parents aren't ready to let go, and can hold their children back. You need to be an adult and walk away to start your life, even if it means not hearing from them for a long time. You're not being selfish-you're growing up, and moving on.
