ok...here's the thing. I'm 17 and i just got engaged to my boyfriend of 7 months. Things were going great, until he's been given the chance to get his son from a previous relationship back. Well, I am not ready for a kid in my life or in this relationship. I want to tell him, but i also want to support him. If i say it the wrong way, it might turn out to be "well, you don't want my kid" (which i don't but he doesn't have to know that). I tried to tell him some of my fears, but he told me he can't live without his son. Yet he can't live without me either (so he says). He's planning on moving to get a better chance at getting his son. I don't want him to do that, but of course i won't tell him. This whole thing is making me really think. Should I stay, should i go? Should i speak, should i remain silent? I don't know what to do. It's getting so bad it's making me physically ill. My mind tells me to just break it off with him and let him have his son, but my heart says no, that there is still a chance he won't get him. What should i do?

Advice4teens answered Monday January 24 2005, 6:45 pm: Wow that's a toughie. I'm sorry to say this, but there's really nothing you can do about this. If you're ready to get engaged, you should be ready to take on whatever obstacles there are, including a little boy. It comes with the many obstacles in a relationship. I am really sorry this is not the best advice I've ever given but unfortunately there's really no answer to this situation. Just follow your heart. You don't have to be a mother to this child...atleast not yet. Anyway I'm really sorry that this isn't good advice compared to my other advice.
