Q: divorced and pregnant

I have been seperated from my husband for 2 years and we have a great 3 year old son. I recently was casually seeing this guy for a couple of months. We decided to not see each other anymore, but a few days ago I found out I was pregnant. He doesnt want me to keep it, and i have no family. I already have a son, and im single. Im very confused and i dont know if i should go thru with this pregnancy or terminate. My money situation is dismal, and i dont have much of a support system. I would love another baby, but im scared i wont be able to provide essentialy for it. Any advice?

Hun, I am so sorry about your situation. Sadly, no one but you can decide ultimately on what to do. Adoption is a viable option, as well as termination, but you have to make that decision. The best thing you can do is write up a list of the pros and cons of each decision you could make (parenting, adoption, abortion) and make an informed decision based upon which choice would best suit you, your morals, your situation, etc. Don't let anyone else try to tell you what to do. It is your choice and even though the man doesn't want you to keep it, it is still your decision. Best of luck to you, whatever you decide.

i understand your situation very well. i am a single mother of a 13 year old boy. i know it would be hard to raise another child single.
i wouldnt feel comfortable with telling you what to do, the decision has to be something that you can live with and is comfortable with.
