In desperate need of honest opinions and help. Is it wrong of me to want to feel emotionally healthy and be with my family during this time?
So I am 20 years old, roughly 6 months pregnant and my babys father is not involved, doesn't believe the baby is his and I guess wants a DNA test. I have had the toughest time and most stressful pregnancy. I lived in AZ all my life and my parents told me a few months ago that we are moving to Minnesota. Our house is huge and full of so many things, they think they are moving by the end of the summer but everyone I know thinks its impossible with how much stuff we have to move or give away to charity. Last month I began looing at school programs in Minnesota and found this "pregnancy care college" in St. Cloud Minnesota that helps young mothers, I thought this place seemed beneficial and something that would give me hope. My parents backed me up 100% and basically just rushed me to make this decision to leave to Minnesota \ early before they move, kind of like they wanted me to leave, but maybe im just being too sensitive. I came here thinking everything would be ok and realized its not. !st off, this place is NOT what I expected at all. This place is clearly for TEEN moms with absolutely no structure in their life which is the complete opposite of who I am. I am extremely hormonal and home sick, im crying and stressing almost every day here without my sister and parents, and I was just diagnosed with mild depression by my counselor here. Right now my heart is telling me to move back to AZ but my parents are telling me don't. im just so confused. is it wrong to want this?

Honest opinion: you must be suffering a lot of stress and as a result are hard to live with. Your parents probably truly thought it was best that you be with professionals, but there may have been a selfish element too that you were hard to live with and they needed a break from you. But dear, you need to be with your family. and you will want some of them by your side in the delivery room. Go back to AZ. the worry about boyfriend making trouble or not flying are lame reasons. Tell them you love them and need to be with them during this time. Tell them you will try to not get all emotional and needy so that they can do the things they need to do to prepare for the move. You will be able to travel when the time comes.

My parents think if I happen to deliver in AZ that my babys father would make threats and try to take the baby away from me or that I wouldn't be able to fly by the time we do move to Minnesota......

Court systems usually favor the mother. I think you should go back to AZ, because pregnancy is a delicate time physically and you should be around people who love you, for hormonal reasons. If you're stressed out around a bunch of teenagers, that's cortisol in your system, which can be toxic after a while. But if you get hugs from your family, you get ocytocin (sp) in your system, which basically cancels out the stress hormone. As long as you are a responsible parent who's house isn't a health hazard who takes good care of your baby, you shouldn't have any trouble.
