I didnt get a change to welcome you yesterday and would like to say it now. How are you doing and if you repost some of your story here, you may find there are more people here in your situation and get the information and support you came for. Please look at this thread and read up on some of the MB concepts. I'm sorry you and your family is going though all of this and glad you have found us. Welcome.

SunnyD Thank you so much for welcoming me. I am so glad you guys are here to support me. I hardly sleep and when I do, I have nightmares. I want to be happy for my baby, I want to be a good mom, but I'm no good right now. I don't want him to feel my sadness and I feel so badly because I should be happy he's here with me. I have read on some of the concepts and I read up when I get a chance. This computer is kind of slow since it's dial up. I was spoiled with my husband because hes a programmer and he had the best equipment, but that's the least of my worries.
I feel my life turned into a big nightmare. I haven't been truly happy in years, but now seems like the greatest unhappiness of my life. and it shouldn't be that way because I have the baby I always wanted, but I am so ashamed that it had to be under this situation.

Just as I believe a BS has the best chance of accepting an OC if they're able to view the baby separately from the om/ow and A, so does a WS have the best chance of accepting the OC if they can do the same. I know this is a difficult thing for you to do right now while you're feeling so much shame, honey, but truly the baby is an innocent, and didn't ask to be here. There's a reason for the baby's life though. (S)he has a purpose in life. God has promised that to each of us.
Celebrating his or her life is NOT equal to celebrating what you did to conceive the baby. So, there is no need to deprive the baby of celebrating his/her life.
Take responsibility for what you've done, but also enjoy this baby for what (s)he is...a gift from God, no matter the origins.
