Question hi my name is christina and i am 17 and pregnant.i live in colorado, recently my parents and a judge put an order of no contact out on my boyfriend . i am not scared of my boyfriend and he did not do anything wrong i need to be able to see him for the sake of our child and my mental health . is there anyway that i could have the order dropped without parental consent ??? do i have any rights? how are my parents aloud to do that?
Answer Christina,
You are a minor. Your parents are responsible for you. I don't know why they took out an order of no contact but they must have had a good reason.
There is no way to have the order dropped. Sorry. Until you are of age, you can't make these decisions on your own.
Instead of being angry with them, try to look at their side of this. You betrayed their trust by getting pregnant. You have changed your future. This has to be a huge disappointment for them. Until you are a mother of a girl, you won't realize how much it hurts and how much you want for her. You aren't the only one in pain. I know you don't think that now but someday you will understand.
Not seeing your boyfriend is not going to cause any damage to the unborn baby and it won't hurt your mental health. You have a lot to deal with and I hope you can do it responsibly.
