An event that changed my life happened in 2011. It was the end of my senior year. All I could think about was after graduation in May I was free. Free from school and hopefully get away from my parents. At the end of February I found out I was pregnant! I was scared to death and so was my now husband Joe. We had been seeing each other against my parents back for about a year. We dated 6 months before that. My parents hated him no matter what he did they still hated him. So we were trying to figure out what to do, who to tell, and how to tell them. We decided to keep the baby no matter what. So we told his family first because they loved me and supported our sneaking to see each other. They were excited. I mean they knew we were young. I was 17 and he was 19. They also knew we loved each other. I mean who would fight to see each other through all odds. Next we told some of our friends and my boss. I had a co-op job working at Mountaineer Farm Center in Union. Jim had been letting me skip work and covering for me to let me see Joe ( my now husband). He liked Joe and didn't understand why my parents hated him so much. Jim was definitely surprised. Of course the first thing he asked was if i told my parents yet. I told him no. So he asked when I was going to tell them. I just said I don't know yet and he said ok I won't say a word. Two more months went by it was the end of April and I hadn't seen a doctor yet. Joe was becoming very concerned. He finally told me that I could tell them that night or he was going to. So I paced and paced. I waited for my dad to go to work, so I could tell mom alone first. I started washing dishes. She said she had a migraine and was going to lay down. I waited til she was almost completely asleep and went in there and told her. It turned in to an automatic fight. She said "is it to the piece of crap from the west end". I said yes, but he isn't a piece of crap. I love him it's something you will never understa
