LBF your OH is spot on you have let no one down.You have tried and continued trying under very difficult cercumstances.Your 1st thoughts must be for you and your baby nothing else is as important.
BR is not a choice any of us make willingly but sometimes there is no other way.
You need peace of mind now ,stress and guilt will not help you or your baby.So talk to the charities in Richards sig tommorow ,keep posting on here and we will help were we can and support you whatever your choice.Some of the best lessons we ever learn,we learn from our mistakes and failures.the error of the past is the success and wisdom of the future.:wave: :beer::j0 -
If you do decide to go BR, I would try and do so before baby arrives. I take it this is your first. When I had my first i was so stressed, he had colic, he hardly slept at all so OH and I were both exhausted for first 3/4 months. I could not think straight, even drove through a red light with baby in car. What i am trying to say is you wont need the stress of going to court and having the interview wioth the OR. I would try to go BR before baby arrives. PM me if you haver any questions about what the OR does. I deal with debtors petition cases.0

:T :T what lovely parents. Mine were about the same and have been very helpful since.
Its a huge help if they can be there for you and support you.The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter0 -
