I don't want to be a dad.

I'm 19 years old and my girlfriend is 18 and pregnant. I'm feeling so confused and angry and emotional. I know I gotta be strong but I'm not sure I have what it takes to raise a child. I'm struggling to make ends meet and feeling so suffocated by the idea that I have to support another human for the rest of my life. I don't know what to do.<br>I'm scared to talk to my GF about it because I know she really wanted to be a mom but I don't think I'm ready or maybe ever will be. I know I'll probably regret it if I don't take on the responsibility but I don't see a way out.<br><br>EDIT: Wow, I wasn't expecting so many responses. Thank you all for your kindness and advice. I didn't expect this feeling of relief after sharing my feelings. You are all a great support system. And thank you for the awards, I appreciate it.<br><br>EDIT 2: I feel like I need to clarify something real quick, I feel like people are quick to assume that I'm a poor teen with no options. I am financially able to afford an abortion for my GF and I am 100% willing to support that decision. I understand there are a lot of people in this situation who don't have the financials for an abortion and I feel for them. I'm not saying that I'm forcing her to get an abortion, I'm just saying that I'm willing to support her decision either way.
