Family problems...

[alicemiller]

Hello everyone. Thank you for your advices. They have given me incredible support.

At first, I was afraid to write because I feared she would be judged by my decision.

But I realized that it was not like that. To all those people who wrote in my previous post. I want to thank you, since you have supported me in this difficult moment of my life.

It has not been easy. And now much less. My family has heard that I will use a sperm donor and she is furious with me. I thought my secret was safe with my sister-in-law but unfortunately it was not. Deep down I believed that I would support myself with this and that I could count on her. But he only did it to look good in front of my family.

I feel overwhelmed, as I trust her. And now I must bear the wrath of my family.

In spite of everything, my desire to be a mother still stands. This week has been terrible, and I just hope to find the light at the end of the tunnel.

Gosh I'm so sorry. What an awful situation you are in. It will be tough without your family's positive thinking but remember that this is about your desire. Only you can make the decision and you must not be swayed by others' concerns if it is what you really want. xxx

I'm really sorry to hear this Alice. I hope eventually your family will come to accept your decision. Have you visited a clinic yet as it may be worth seeing their counsellor to talk things through xxx

If a baby is what you really want then go and grab it with both hands. There are many children out there with mom and dads who don't have the love and care they need, many people who have children that don't want them, there is nothing wrong with wanting to be a single mom and raising a child. That child will be lucky because you chose to have him/her and raise him/her with so much love, that child will be lucky to have someone like you as a mom. I really do hope your family can support you through this as it's a wonderful thing. Don't give up xx
