[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife almost died during childbirth. Things looked bleak. I had about 24 hours to think about what I was going to do. I had pretty much made up my mind I wasn't going keep her, so much of that was debating whether I would simply leave them at the hospital for CPS or turn them over a family member. I wanted to the former to let her start life from a clean slate, preferably never learning about her traumatic birthday, but pretty much concluded I'd have to do the latter.

And while I was convinced, at the time at least, that was the right discusion, I also didn't expect I'd be able to live with myself. So I planned my suicide, too.

Obviously I don't know what I actually would have done if my wife didn't evenctually pull through, but I do know I would never judge whatever decision someone makes in that situation.[/quote]

If I'm understanding correctly you had to make the decision between an unborn child and your wife's life.

This guy had his child for at least a year, by the time the adoption took place longer. Different situation. He didn't want the responsibility of taking care of his own child.[/quote]

No, the child was born healthy, but my wife's condition continued to deteriorate. She wasn't expected to survive.[/quote]

You’re really awful and shouldn’t be reprodcing with anyone!!  Seriously, you’d go through a pregnancy with your wife and if she died you’d want to get rid you YOUR kid.  WTF.  Some people are really f-ed up![/quote]

DP, but it sounds like a trauma response in the moment. He might not have gone through with that. [/quote]

Nah. Sounds like a pretty typical future-deadbeat husband/father who only has a kid to keep the wife happy. We know many of these in our UMC circles. Husband wants the appearance of the "family man" but doesn't actually have any true interest in it. [/quote]
