Please help me come up with ideas.
I just gave birth a little over 6 months ago and just learned I am pregnant again.
My husband is demanding that I abort it <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
This by a man who makes over 60K per year (and is anticipating a salary increase).
A man who just bought a Mercedes (Without MY permission).
A man who just refinished the basement (Without my permission).
******, a man who proclaims to be of deep Catholic beliefs.
He says he doesnt want it nor can afford it. He wants it out.
I am thankful I demanded him to work out of state this week and he was cleared to do so. It will give me some much needed space to think.
I am such a mess.
I have a lot of debt <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> and will likely have to quit my job (Heavy lifting).
I have nowhere to go and noone to turn to.
I have the baby and a 12 year old to think about too, right now.
I want to leave him, but I just dont know where to go.
He is so selfish.
Are there programs for displaced wives/mothers out there? Are there shelters We can go to??
How do I protect this baby to be??
I am already suffering from Post partum depression and a lot of crap has been happening in this marriage.
I feel almost suicidal <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I feel no hope anymore.
What can I do? Who do I contact?? Please, i would desperately welcome any feedback.

Go to your local phone books and look under the heading of crisis pregnancy centers or abortion alternatives, they will be able to give you advice on agencies in your areas that help women in your situation.

Good luck.

Yes, there are women's crisis centers in most areas.
My X suggested abortion too, and it's a disgusting thought from a parent, isnt' it.
Stay strong.

1. www.lifecall.org Provides information on abortion alternatives. Provides information on shelters for pregnant women who want to maintain their pregnancy. etc,

2. National Life Center: 24 hour hotline to help support people looking for abortion alternatives. 1-800-848-LOVE

3.Open Directory - Health: Reproductive Health: Clinics and Services ...
Birthright International - Support to girls and women who are distressed by an unplanned pregnancy and are looking for alternatives to an abortion. Hotline ...

http://dmoz.org/Health/Reproductive_Health/C ... Abortion_Alternative_Services/

This site lists numerous programs which support aborton alternatives...from medical care, to shelter, to food, clothing etc.


I can't personally reccommend any of these sites. I found them by doing a search under "Abortion Alternatives". There are many more listed. You might want to run your own search to see what looks like the best match for you.

My point is, there are a lot of alternatives and reasons for hope at this time. Support is out there...waiting for you and your little one(s).

Take good care of yourself as hard as that can be at this time. Let us know how you're doing.
