Crazy situation - leaving toxic relationship or having a baby

11 replies

Babibel · 04/05/2024 20:58

Hi all. I have a 6yrs old child with a mentally abusive man. We live in his country and I am trying my best to move to my country with my child - with or without husband. I dearly wanted to have a second child in my homeland to feel safe and experience life there again.
I turned 41 and I am freaking out because it might be too late.
a) get pregnant and leave that man
b) no more babies
c) leave and hope to meet someone else soon

i have suffered a lot from him and I hope he pays for it. We are currently in a relationship, leave together with our child but he has been truly awful to me.

Do not ttc DC2 with this man. Do better for yourself and DC1

Better to be safe and away from him with one child than trapped with two. It doesn't matter if you don't meet anyone else and have another baby - it really doesn't. What matters is the child you already have and you.

Any option but A!!

Your priority should be your child who’s currently living in an abusive home.

Please don’t trap yourself with him any further. Is donor sperm an option in your home country?

Grab existing child, leave country ASAP, settle down here, sort through trauma, raise the one child you have, sorting through their trauma and getting therapy for him if necessary

Do not even think about having another child with your (and your child's) abuser

:( I know you guys are right. I can’t believe I’m still in the same household as him. It’s complicated to leave a country without approval. Im almost there

your first priority is to make sure that you and your child are safe.

so get to your home country with your child.

Do not have another baby with this man. Your first priority needs to be the child that you already have. Please get out of this situation.

Just think of the 6 year old child you already have and the life they are living with that man. Make getting away from him a priority.
