Body Image Pt. 2

I've been seeing a social worker, because I can't afford a therapist and nothing she's telling me is helping, so I stopped seeing her. I've taken up another job now to keep myself busy and try to make more money, and my fiancé still doesn't do anything. I don't think I can handle this. This baby is going to be too much work for me. Some mornings I can't even bear to get up because I can't stand seeing myself. I'm going to talk to my fiancé about adoption. I can't take this life path anymore.

I'm sorry. Why are you still engaged to a man that is showing you he's a lazy ass that doesn't give a crap?

I am sorry to hear this it's heartbreaking it seems like you are trying/ working harder doing anything to help yourself and that is great but you shouldn't be the only one making an effort you need to lay down the law with this man he needs to help or your gone have you ever thought that maybe he takes you for granted and you feel bad about yourself because he isn't there for you. ? You deserve more take care of yourself

I'm sorry to hear your overwhelmed. I would try to look into a sliding scale fee program orseek help from your local health dept or a free clinic in your area.

I know it seems difficult but look at your situation right now and see if the reason your so down is because your partner in this isn't giving you the help and support you need. I get it, I've been there and having a baby just adds to the stress. If he's not on board with adoption then he needs to give a little and get a job and help you care for the child.

ultimately you need to do what's best for youand your unborn child. I hope you can find strength in whatever decision you and your FI come up with. Open adoption/adoption in general is a great alternative if you both aren't at a place to care for a newborn.

I hope you get the help you need. You've taken a big step in searching it out in general. I'm sorry you are in the situation your in right now and I hope you can get past it.
