Wake TF up people. Stop a girl's life before it's too late

I'm 29 and living with my partner of 11 years. I'm so happy we both don't want kids. I have a lot of CF friends who feel the same way.<br><br>My ex BFF however was obsessed with being a mum. She was one of the people who said "my life will begin once I have a child". I distanced myself from her when I figured out she wanted kids so badly she was going to be a shit friend.<br><br>She is now 27 and a single mother to an 11 month old. Her life went to absolute shit last year. She fell pregnant a year ago to her ex, who she was with for 3 months only. I started rekindling our friendship last year. She was in so much pain and crying all the time because her bf left her when he found out she was pregnant.<br><br>She had a lot of complications and had hyperemsis gravida - profuse profuse vomiting and dehydration. She was really skinny and looked so ill. Her feet were so swollen that she could barely walk. She was in a shitload of pain and was crying all the time.<br><br>I couldn't believe how her life went upside down. Her bf left her so she had to move back in with her parents. She barely had any money and was on Centrelink (similar to welfare in the US). She barely had any money to eat, let alone feed her child, which is bullshit imo. She told me she was barely eating a meal a day and was living off fruit and veggies.<br><br>She was working a minimum wage job after hours from home and was barely getting any sleep. Her bf refused to pay any child support so she had to take him to court. She was depressed and cried all the time.<br><br>Her child was born. I went through so much pain watching her struggle. I cannot believe how tf people can bring a child into this world if they're not ready. She resorted to formula feeding. She was in so much pain breastfeeding.<br><br>Her child has colic and cries non stop. All she does is cry and complain about being so stressed. I feel so much empathy for her. I distanced myself from her once again because I couldn't watch my friend be in so much pain. It's so sad to see someone you love struggle.<br><br>She's barely working. Barely has any money for herself and her child. Her parents are barely supporting her either. I'm goddamn angry those fucking idiots didn't help her get an abortion. I'm also pissed off that the Australian government barely gives any assistance at all.<br><br>I hate parents who barely let their daughters have any autonomy. This is what happens. Think twice before bringing a damn life into this world. I feel so bad for her child.<br><br>Edit: I am Australian<br><br>Edit: thanks for the awards!!!
