writes:I've been living with my brother and his girlfriend since my parents kicked me out when they found out I was pregnant. The other day they got engaged. I'm happy for them. I really am but the only thing running through my head is what if they kick me out. What if they decide they need more privacy, or want to start their own family, and theres not enough room for me. I feel like I should just leave, but I have nowhere to go. I can't support myself. I've been looking for a job, but haven't found one yet. I just don't know what to do.

 Give them privacy. Go out with friend or whatever. And be open to them about your concerns and let them know if they need time alone to let you know. Also make sure they don't feel your a burden. Keep the house clean (more than your own stuff) and cook or pick up their dry cleaning. Good luck

See if you two or the three of you can sett something up make a plan or goals see what you can do together to work out the situation, you don't need to stress yourself out and you don't need to keep the issue a secret, it won't get any better if you don't acknowledge it.

Be respectful. If you don't contribute money help out in other areas.
Wash dishes. Clean house. Cook.
Don't become a pest and you won't be treated as one.
