[quote=Anonymous]I think you should forgive her and move forward. She was in the midst of puberty and all that entails. At around 16 kids start developing congnitively to be able to understand and empathize with others. Your expectation that a 14yo would understand your feelings about miscarrying are unrealistic, especially since you KNOW she is threatened by the appearance of another baby.

Those of us who have grown up as the apple of a parent's eye do take it too far sometimes, but we learn our place and are better for it. We are not bad people necessarily. Just figuring things out. I would hate it if someone I loved held my adolescent mistakes against me, especially someone who I thought was mature and had more perspective.

I think you need to talk things over with your husband, work through your feelings about having children or not, without making any comments about your SD. A separate conversation about SD might need to be had about her role in decision-making, but I doubt that's just about having another kid.[/quote]
