Expert: David Simonsen Date: 6/26/2008 Subject: can you help me?
Question I'm pregnant with my boyfriends child. We have been dating for almost two years. He makes me feel terrible almost everyday, but i love him. i don't know how to leave him because i don't want my future son involved with that sort of person. He's selfish and he always puts EVERYTHING before me. We live 2 1/2 hours away from each other but we used to live in the same town. When we are together we don't fight at all, its only when we are apart. I'm afraid that I'm going to have a miscarriage because of all of the stress he gives me. And I'm afraid of being alone and that I'm not good enough for anyone else.
Answer Kristy,
Would you please consider adoption? There are so many intact stable two-parent home available that it would be sad to force your child into the situation you describe. You say you love this guy. It is not love what you describe it is and unhealthy addiction. For some reason you can't see how unhealthy this relationship and continue to go back to it. How unfair that you would subject your child to this. I would suggest you move in with family who can help you during this difficult time.
