This was me at 22 AND pregnant! I’m now in my late 30s. It gets better. I never experienced much in my 20s so I cannot give you good advice but during high school, my first 2 jobs were treacherous! Stuttered like crazy and everyone talked behind my back saying how slow I was or whatever. I’m older than you and I still hate my stutter. It messed me up more times than I can count. But…. Here I am. Went back to college after my kids got old enough to fend for themselves and enjoying a life I thought I’d never be able to have. Screw all those people you just mentioned. One day they’ll have kids and they’ll know what it’s like or they’ll experience it themselves. Who know. Karma is a b$@%*
