[quote=Anonymous]You need to deeply evaluate this statement... "If we'd had a second, we'd end up giving him two unhappy parents." Journal or list exactly what you mean by this projection. It may be simple, like you have an illness what a second pregnancy would exacerbate, and this could be where it begins and ends. But seeing it on paper would help you believe in your choice. On the other hand, when you start this list and realize that you wouldn't actually be unhappy, just forced to be different in some way (better savers, more efficient, etc) you need to then really figure out of you'd be unhappy or just challenged and out of your comfort zone. I had an only for 8 years and thought I was done. I turned 40 and was lucky enough to have a second. He's changed our world in such amazing ways. And brought happiness, not drained it. Especially for his older brother. Good luck with this process. It's not an easy one but there is no wrong outcome.[/quote]
