Bit of a family crisis. In fact a massive one.

He's a friend that goes back a long way and wouldn't want to see him crash and burn.

You know, they aren't a religious family as such just close knit. Although I haven't seen B's letter as such, he's verbally surmised it and insists that he did not use the word 'abort' but more expressed reservations about the situation for the good of the unborn kid, rightly or wrongly.

Maybe it was ignorant of B butting in like that (B has 0 kid experience for the record) or it was an emotional response to a stressful situation (which we have all fu** up on to put it mildly)

Suffice to say, explaining how bad life is out there for A and wife would take several paragraphs, so I'll put it in one. Very bad 'nuff said.

So forget A, B. It's the unborn kid that I feel is the victim in all of this. Just my opinion.

Truthfully..... Are you sibling B?

Err, nope. If I was in his shoes I'd have kept well away from the whole situation. However, since I'm an only child I don't think I'll ever be able to fully appreciate what the gravity of the situation must be like on him, hence the request for a second opinion.

So have you passed on the opinion of contributors to this thread (most of which have said your friend was in the wrong)?
If you have, what was his reaction.
