I made a difference in someones life

Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive April 2008: I made a difference in someones life

While at one of my online communities that I talk more of my business than my personal, i came across a new teen mom. She had commented about being depressed. It was just a quick email to her, but we emailed back and forth. When we first contacted, no one knew of her pregnancy. She finally told a friend, then her boyfriend (who is very upset-doesn't sound like a good relationship, and this young teen I'm sure is in way over her head.) And I have been asking her to please contact a dr. She had not seen one yet and is 2 or 3 months along. I'm guessing in denial.

Pregnancy, no support, young teen, hasn't told her parents, no drs appt, no wonder she is depressed. Plus she states she has a history of depression.

My heart is just aching for her. So anyway, after about 3 wks of emailing she finally MADE A DR APPT! And she purchased some prenatal vitamins today. She told me thank you and that she probably would not have made the appt if I hadn't kept stressing the importance.

Hopefully, she really did make the appt and hopefully she will keep the appt. So if she has done and will continue to do as I told her, I have made a difference

Good for you, Dana. Isn't helping someone out, one of the best feelings?

I hope she really does go to the doctor, but if she bought the vitamins, maybe that is a postive sign!
