[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is obviously triggering feelings from events in your past. I could be really wrong here but I think you may have some abandonment issues. Or maybe you're dealing with mortality. Sometimes, things-- smells, music, events-- trigger memories. If it takes you more than a day to bounce back or you keep having thoughts about this, maybe seek someone to talk it out, like a clergyman or a therapist. [/quote]

+1 This is about you. You'll need to work through these feelings without any involvement with them.

I know you're telling yourself that your motives are pure but just the fact that you are pondering the possibility that you might be in a unique position to offer support and also that you're imagining he might abandon his baby reflects that you're not thinking about this with a clear head. And all of the complicated feelings coming up mean that you're not over it somehow (and that does not mean you're not happy in your life and marriage). But don't confuse it in your mind and imagine that it means you should get involved in any way.

Yes, they will need support, but not from you. This has absolutely nothing to do with you, even if you share a diagnosis with their baby.
