Im pretty sure your mom wont kick you out, because parents always say that but in the end when it comes to you actually leaving they wont want you to remeber your her daughter that she raised from birth and nothing, not even you getting pregnant should change her love for you.
other then that fate will decide the rest but always remeber that God dosent give you more then you can bare or handle, your stronger then you think. [ syireen's advice column | Ask syireen A Question ]
animalover658 answered Tuesday May 16 2006, 5:30 pm: Hi,
First thing I would do is, break up with him. Then, I think that you should tell the police what he did. Your mom has no right kicking you out of the house, because it wasn't your fault. I really hope it works out!
Nallie answered Monday May 15 2006, 8:56 pm: You are talking in the present..as if this guy James is still your b/f. I certainly hope not if he forced you to have sex against your will. First of all do not stay with him, and secondly go to the police. If you are afraid of him get a restraining order. [ Nallie's advice column | Ask Nallie A Question ]

girlygirl answered Monday May 15 2006, 10:14 am: You need to go to a free family planning clinic and talk to a counselor. Not only for counseling the rape and pregnancy - but for the fact that he raped you and you're still calling him your boyfriend??? You've got to get away from him - forever - and ever and ever! There is no relationship there - he raped you. A good counselor will help you through the other issue and work on your own level of self-esteem, so that you won't be with a person that would ever treat you that way.

babiigirl answered Monday May 15 2006, 9:53 am: if you got raped it is a crime.
If your mom isnt going to do anything for you. You will have to step up and do it yourself. You need to contact the police If you are not willing to go right to a police. You guidance counselor could help you believe it or not. Just go your counselor and tell him/her you need to talk to him privatly.
I do not know your mother && im not sure what her reaction would be if this happened but its better then what will happen if you don't do anything and thats pretty much giving your boyfriend the permission to do what he wants&& and you do not want to allow that.

Informant_Girl answered Monday May 15 2006, 5:58 am: Rape is a crime. Forget about everything for now except that you are the victim of a crime and your boyfriend is a criminal. It may have happened a month ago, but it is still a crime. Go to the police. File a police report. They will take you to be examined and you can find out if you are pregnant or not. I don't know your mother and I cannot guess her reaction, but what you should be worried about is you! Let the police and social services handle the rest. Go and get help, don't wait any longer. Don't be scared. It was not your fault and don't let anyone, ANYONE, tell you different. Rape may not be a crime like a mugging or a shooting, but it IS a crime. Go to the police. Take care of yourself if no one will. [ Informant_Girl's advice column | Ask Informant_Girl A Question ]
msb9876 answered Sunday May 14 2006, 11:38 pm: Without knowing your mother or your history, it's difficult to judge her reaction.
However there is something you can do for yourself...get yourself some support by contacting a rape crises centre in your area, the sooner you contact them the better. They will have sound knowledge to base their advice from, unlike a lot of web based places.
As I don't know how far along in the pregnancy you are, it's difficult to give advice on that. I wonder...what is it that YOU think should happen next.
Given that though he was your boyfrind, he still raped you - have you considered whether you wish to tell him about the pregnancy or not?
My heart goes out to you and I hope you contact a rape crises centre for advice and support to help you through this difficult time.
