Hi;
So, I’m a 37 year old gay single Mama of 2 boys. They’re 9 and 6 and I’m desperate for another child. My youngest sons Dad (we’re best friends) agreed that he’d love another baby, we co parent so well. The only thing is, last time I hadn’t come out and we had a very drunk moment. My son is the result. I don’t drink anymore and I’ve been out for 5 years now. The thoughts of doing that makes me feel nauseous and really uncomfortable. I don’t think my body would relax enough to let it happen. However, he said unless there are fertility issues he doesn’t see why we have to go the iui route. But I just don’t think he understands how big of a deal it is tbh. It’s terrifying and I squirm at the idea. But I’m so desperate for one more child. My kids even ask me for another brother or sister. And he is a wonderful father, like just amazing. Despite us living an hour away, if there’s anything needed for the boys ( he treats my eldest like his own, as his father is a waste of space), he’s here for them any time. We even take trips away every year. As a now, out and very proud woman. I don’t know what to do.
