No one I can tell

So I have to ask other people because I cannot ask anybody I know because I still don't know what I'm going to do because I am very confused. I am 39, I have two children, 10 and 11, and I have now found out that I am pregnant. My dad died last week. The pregnancy test is saying that I am one to two weeks pregnant. With death comes life, obviously, but I am scared. Financially, I'm okay, but it's not flush, and my boys would be buzzing. That's why it has to be hush-hush because they always ask me for a sibling, a little girl or a little boy. They've asked me for years, and I don't want to tell them unless until I know for sure that I'm keeping it. The father is their father, same man, who I split up with when they were like three, four years old, and there was a lot of conflict and he was horrendous and there was stalking and horrendous stuff. In the last two years, we were co-parenting quite well, but while I was dealing with my dad, who was so sick, he crept in and we had sex and now I'm pregnant, and I don't know what to do. I don’t want to be with him

I’m so sorry that your DF died, you must be reeling.

In your situation I would terminate. It your ex sounds horrendous and it isn’t going to be easy navigating the GG and Childrearing with him again. In a few short years your DC will be adults and life will be so much easier. If you keep the baby you’ve got another 18 years of negotiations and possible falling out with him.

DC often ask for siblings without fully understanding the consequences. I wouldn’t let the fact that they’ve asked sway you.
