[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. She will not abort. Right now she wants to do the fall semester and then reevaluate...I do worry about the idea she’ll take time off and then never go back...adoption is still on the table too though.

The father goes to a different school 1200 miles away (they met at an internship) and they were never together. [/quote]

[b]I got pregnant at 20. I love my 11 year old but there’s times where I wish I had aborted and settled years late[/b]r. Your daughter doesn’t want to do this now. [/quote]

What mother thinks this way? I can see wishing you hadn't gotten pregnant so young or thinking you should have put her up for adoption.  But you really sometimes wish you had taken her life?  [/quote]

She's being honest. All the pretty stories in this thread make me mad. Single parenting is hard on everyone. The girls I knew didn't get married and didn't finish college. They suffered, along w their parents and the children. Don't do it. [/quote]

+1.  I love my now teenage younger DC so unbelievably much.  She was a second child wand was very wanted and planned for. And yet...  I had unbelievably severe PPD that seemed to come out of nowhere and was very treatment resistant.   Absolutely out of control and soul sucking— and shocking after zero problems with Kid 1.  I ended up trying to kill myself when she was 2, because I was convinced she deserved better than me, and would be better off if I died before she could remember me.   No one IRL knows, except DH and my doctors. I would never want her to find out and get Hirt.

The path back was unbelievably slow and painful, and was full of fits and starts.  12 years later, I have largely recovered, but I lost parts of myself that aren’t coming back. I cannot imgine a world without DD. It would certainly be blessing you to me the . And not just for me. But if it were 2003 again, and I were deciding whether to get pregnant— honestly, I don’t know what I would decide. It should be a no brainer yes. This is an objectively amazing kid. I am so lucky to have her. It should be a no brainer.  AaBut I lost so much, suffered so much, gave up so much.   It would be hard yo,sign up for that.  A

Paarenting is not all unicorns and Hallmark moments, and my kid got pregnant, and married a great man, and hasd the baby who won a Nobel Prize winner and DD’s life is fabulous.

This is real life and parenting is tough. And if you can’t be honest anonymously, when cam you?[/quote]
