[quote=Anonymous]I have a family member in her 40s who went through this with her ex husband. He has some PTSD issues from the military. She was fresh off finally getting her Master's degree that led to a promotion. He was having trouble keeping a job because he refused to stay steady with his medications. During every family function he would make comments about getting her pregnant. She told me he used emotional tactics too, like saying she wouldn't want a baby with him because he's damaged. He would also say his dream was to be a father and how it could turn his life around. My family member refused because he would not get long term help for his issues. They divorced a few years ago. Fast forward to now, and he has a little boy. He did not marry the mother and frequently disappears. The mother has had to reach out to our family when she can't find him, because he used to be close to us. My family member is engaged now, and she always says she is glad she didn't have a baby with the first husband.[/quote]
