AITA for bringing my boyfriend and refusing to leave after my parents told me to get an abortion?

I found out I was pregnant about 6 months ago. I was 18 at the time and had literally no idea I even was until I went to the doctor for not feeling good, but it turned out I was about 4 months pregnant. I didn’t believe it until they actually showed me the ultrasound and then I just wanted to leave the room and come back to when my life wasn’t over, it felt like. I wanted to go to medical school and was in the process of applying to a few different ones. <br><br>The father is my boyfriend. We have been together for 3 years and are now engaged. He was more excited than I was and he told me he would never let me get an abortion, only because he knows how much I wanted a baby. We both decided it was just the right time to have a baby, and we could figure it out, it would be hard but we could manage. I knew I needed to tell my mom at some point, so I told her. She told my dad and when he got home from work he yelled at me for a good hour, with my mom occasionally chiming in about how I was a disappointment to them and a failure. This was the second time I got to see my baby. <br><br>They told me I needed to get an abortion, and that I was making a huge mistake if I didn’t, and that they would do whatever it took to make sure I had a normal life. I thought maybe they were right for a few days until my bf sat me down and told me how much he wanted our baby to be born, and that he had figured out how to make it so I could still go to med school while raising a child. From that point on I knew I wanted her to be born. I knew I was going to get kicked out (my dad even said that) so I took pictures of my room and moved the things I wanted to keep into my bfs apartment. <br><br>My dad told me to get my things and come back to his house, only to leave when I went to college. I got into my car and drove to his house. I had already moved my stuff out, but decided I was going to go and see what he would say. I was about 7 months when he kicked me out (I’m now about 9.5 months) My bf came with me, and my dad was very angry that he came, and he told me to leave my “ adopted child” at home next time. He asked me to leave and come back to live with him if I had an abortion. My bf told him he would never let me do that. My dad got very angry and told me to leave, and that he would not ever see me until I did what he told me. I told him I would never do it because it was what I wanted. I left and went back to my bfs apartment. My parents both told me they would never see me again or meet my baby unless I did what they wanted. <br><br>AITA?
