[quote]Wow...so you have a baby and you have the nerve to judge me knowing what it is to love your child???? My husband told me to have an abortion..could you have done it?? Could you? [/quote]

Hi! I've read this entire thread and can see where some folks, including AlmostHeaven gave you advice in order to get out of, or deal with, your situation. Which was very nice of her under the circumstances..

I just felt a need to respond to your specific statement above..

Could I have an abortion to ensure not remaining trapped in what I know is already an abusive situation? With a man who I know has issues? Including abusive? Divorces?

I can answer that question from MY OWN experience. YES YES YES YES YES. Been there, done that and I absolutely DID terminate the pregnancy rather than trap myself with a man who I knew would never change, and whom it took me 2 years in court to get rid of (he ultimately served 6 months home confinement for violations of restraining orders and domestic assault and battery).

He and I were never married... Got pregnant, like you, by accident (he subsequently had a vasectomy actually.. having had 3 kids already he couldn't support).

But yes, while I'm not a rocket scientist and have made bad personal decisions in my life, having that abortion was one of THE wisest decisions of my life. Otherwise, I'd have remained tied to an abusive loser the rest of my life.

I tend to agree with others here.. You shouldn't have had children with this guy in the first place.. once you did and his abusive/controlling/loser behavior continued, you certainly should have STOPPED having children with him.

Now that you HAVE... I strongly urge you to take some of the very good advice provided to you on this thread and find a way to get yourself, and your children, out safely.

Good luck...

Oh, and in the interest of full disclosure: I am 38 years old. My oldest child (who I gave up for adoption at birth) will be 20 in September (so I'm guessing I'm even older than AlmostHeaven). I had an abortion at 22 (as mentioned above) and I am now the mother of a 1 year old child.
