re: The heart breaking decision.

I made this same heartbreaking decision today.

I have two children with one man & this pregnancy is with another, one I am not in love with and that is psychotic & abusive. I don't want to have a child by him, and adopton wouldn't be an option because he'd never agree. He's 100 percent immature and is not good for me and I don't want to be with him any longer.

Best wishes to you.

I had one in April and it was probably the hardest decision I've ever had to make. I regret it every single day. It was the best for my situation though. I was only separated a few months before I got pregnant and did not want to lose custody of my child in court because of something like that. Just stay strong. It's going to be hard, especially if part of you wishes you could go on with the pregnancy. Just know that you're doing the right thing for yourself.

Quoting Scared & Excited:" I've made the heart breaking decision. I'm going to terminate my pregnancy. Even though I want this little ... [snip!] ... I know this is what's best for her and for me. I'm falling apart. I feel numb and almost alone. Has anyone ever felt similar?"

If you really don't want to terminate the pregnancy, but feel you have no choice. What about open adoption? It would give you the opportunity to give the child to a family who could provide those things that you want so badly for her and allow you an opportunity to stay in her life! Would that be something you'd be willing to consider? It's just a thought...it sounds like you're really struggling. I wish you all the best, you're in my prayers.
