[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Termination is really painful to think about, but I unfortunately think this is a much better decision than carrying on in this miserable marriage and bringing another child into the mix. Husband owns a rental property in the states - new tenants to move in later this summer - I've asked him to cancel so daughter and I can live somewhere I can work. I hope he will agree.[/quote]

OP, I have been in your situation (although not overseas).  Terminating a wanted child is a disappointment.  At this early stage though, I would focus on abortion, getting your life in order, and thinking about having another child later in life when you have created a more stable life for yourself and your existing child and can form a more stable parenting partnership or have a baby solo.

I was 6 months pregnant when I found out about my ex's cheating.  At that stage, I didn't feel like abortion was an option for me.  As a result, although I love my child, I brought a child into the world who has a parent who causes heartache, and my own capacity to provide for both children was severely negatively affected.  Growing up in poverty with an irresponsible parent is nothing to underestimate.

Get some legal advice so you can know if you can keep custody and return to US.  [/quote]
