Just though I’d share this 💛

I hate knowing how much of a good dad my husband would be. Days like today make it particularly difficult.

Feel like I’m letting him down all the bloody time.

You are not letting him down, is not something that you are doing voluntarily.... don’t blame yourself.

Lots of 🤗❤️

PS: we will find a way 🤪

I know how you feel, I was hoping to be able to show my husband a Pos. HPT today, but I can't do that. We can't blame ourselves, we are doing everything we can. It still feels shitty though. We come up with all these scenarios in our minds of how we want to surprise them, but when we can't it brings us down a notch and makes us feel bad. It's hard not to do that. But we have to remember we didn't choose this.

I find Father’s Day and Mother’s Day weird now. I’ve 2 kids Im divorced I left my ex when the kids were 7 & 5 they don’t have a good relationship with him due to him being a crap dad just not being there for them or providing etc so I feel bad for them, I feel bad for my fiancé as we’ve had 3 mmc & 2 chemical pregnancies we buy him father’s days cards and gifts from my kids but celebrating being a dad for babies we’ve lost well it’s just sad. Then my friend talks about 1 of her 3 adopted kids who was adopted straight from birth and he gets all sad on mother’s/father’s day as it always triggers why his biological parents didn’t want him. Then I think of people with fertility issues who are struggling to become parents, and people who have lost parents. I just wish it wasn’t a thing anymore.

Yes that too, I did get “nominated” but didn’t do it. I think until you’ve experienced fertility problems you don’t realise how these things affect others.

Not what you're looking for?
