A female Canada age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I just found out that I'm pregnant with my ex-boyfriend's baby and for so many reason, I don't want to keep it:

- My EX is the father and although he says he wants to support me and would consider keeping it, we have a long messed up history and I don't want to have another reason for him to be around for the rest of my life.

- I'm still in university. I was supposed to be done this year but I'm not, and it has a lot to do with him

- I have depression. Not the mood. Clinical depression since I was maybe... 12 or so and I'm a cutter. For the past 6 months my ex had been really horrible to me and exacerbated it to the point where I wanted nothing to do with him. It was only then that he started to slowly come to his senses.

- I don't have the finances

- My family is Catholic and would be terribly disappointed. Also, because of the way he was being, my family hates him and he is no longer welcome in my house.

- I don't think I'm mentally ready for this at all. I'm just so far from emotionally stable and that's not the kind of situation I'd want to bring a child into.

I feel like terminating the pregnancy is my only option. I just don't feel like I'm in any position to deal with it. I really don't want to. It really upsets me but keeping it would not make anything better and not be fair to the child either but... I'm scared that keeping this secret for the rest of my life is also going to kill me inside. At the same time, I don't want to let the rest of my life be changed my a mistake with my ex-boyfriend.

I don't know if I'm thinking straight here or freaking out. Can somebody help me out? Have you been through something similar and can give me some advice?

Laura1318 agony auntYou need to think carefully about your options. Perhaps you may need some professional help from those pregnancy help centers.

Everything happens for a reason and sometimes we cannot run away from destiny.
