"Coerced reproduction" is what happened to me, I firmly believe.<br /><br /> I unfortunately was weak enough, stupid enough, that I went through with the pregnancy, and now my husband and I are separated, and he has custody of our son. I feel like I am so mentally and emotionally unfit because of going through with it, that I don't want custody. I have been able to talk to a few people that are close that understand and sympathize, but for the most part I am seen as a bad person; a selfish and horrible example of a woman; and a "dead-beat" mother, though I attempted to have a relationship with my child for as long as I could pretend to not be unstable about it, and continue to provide my (future ex-)husband with any and all monetary support that I can. <br /><br />Thank you for posting this, and if anyone out there can direct me to a therapist or any kind of professional in the state of Florida that has any knowledge of this phenomenon, please let me know.BDNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687475073497402632noreply@blogger.com
