[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is truly a personal choice and it is up to you whether or not you want to keep this child or not.

I am not clear on your situation regarding finances and all. If you think you can make it on your own financially and support two children on your own, including childcare costs and such, then by all means go ahead and consider raising this child alone. Do not assume that your husband will be paying alimony and/or child support because the way he is behaving now is an indication that he will do whatever he can do weasel his way out of it. Also, at 42 it will be tough being a single mother..no doubt. It is tough being a single mother period, but you will have unique challenges as an older mother. It will be much harder on you physically and mentally. Do you have a good support system? Family and friends who will help out? All this must be taken into consideration.

If it were me, I would personally either a). Give the baby up for adoption or b). Have an abortion. I am a few yrs older than you are and am not financially able to provide for another child. I also have already raised my own and am just now re-entering life with no responsibilities and loving my freedom. Having a child now would only set me back another 18 yrs and I am not ready to give away my life again.

OP, when this child reaches adulthood, you will be 60 or 61. Almost a Sr. Citizen. Have you thought about that?

Anyway, whatever you decide to do, I wish you only the best.
I am so sorry your husband is behaving in this manner. 
Shame on him for acting so immature and selfish.
Considering there are two children involved, I cannot understand why he doesn't just man up and try to work out some type of compromise for their sakes.[/quote]
