Family in crisis
In class on January 27, we talked about how families deal with stress. I want to tell one of my stories. I got pregnant when i was 17 right before my senior year of high school. I did not know how to tell my parents so I wrote them a note, put it by their bed and went camping. When I came home the next day my dad did not talk to me and my was crying. My mom dealt with the stress by going to church and praying. When I walked outside to feed my dog my dad came out with a shotgun and I thought he was going to shoot me! He walked pass me and shot our cow instead that we were saving. So my dads way of letting go was to shoot the cow and then have us eat beef for the next 9 months! It was horrible but about 2 months later my dad finally forgave me and started talking to me. I am also closer to my dad now that my son is two because he just can not get enough of him.

Having this class right now seems perfect for me, because I just found out that I'm pregnant not too long ago. As of now, my family seems okay with everything, but I know some of them aren't too happy about the situation mainly, because of school. My boyfriend and I are trying to make the best out of the situation, but that is not an easy task. Both of us are having a hard time dealing, and have fought a lot more. It made me really appreciate the reading on strong families. It helped me to realize that good communication, and just being able to agree to disagree can help the relationship a great deal!
