bbmpin: I have seen people quoting studies here numerous times, on very rare occasions these studies have been interpreted properly. A home where a father figure is absent is not dysfunctional per se. A home can also be dysfunctional where both parents are present but one of them is a drug addict or violent. The studies that you are quoting here define dysfunctional in much broader terms than you do. Some single mothers have raised better children than two morons. I am not propagating single motherhood but to say that a woman is unable to raise a child properly - let's say because her husband died from cancer or is a fallen soldier - is myopic and not true. 5 Likes |

Twaci:Mornin' mi amiga! Sorry bout that, Wasn't my intention! I just needed you to understand things and show some empathy (think about the child and mother) When disaster can be prevented it's "usually" advisable that you do that, It's not about what "feels right" but doing what is "right" |

pocohantas:Lmaooo . I agree with ya . It's very wrong for people to tell others not to come for advice . Many people don't have anyone to talk to for advice outside , dats you dey come here !! Besides scammers who are here trying to rip people off , it's a gud idea for others looking for advice to come here cuz we don't know them personally , sooo our advice r gonna be objective , stuff dey need to hear . She's going to make her own choice neways buh it's gud to see views from others . Op's a regular member who made a new account , dis shows she desperately wants to hear from us . Telling her she shouldn't have come here makes no sense . 6 Likes |

Divay22: Except it's not the creator that created me... If she has a different creator, she can go ahead and consult that one on whether she should abort the child. The one that created me is also the one that gives children. You cannot ask him for permission to kill the life he has planted in you. But you can ask him for help and courage to face that which is to come. Suffering is part of human existence. We have seen testimonies of millionaires today who claim that they were raised in a family of 8 and to even smell a whiff of garri, how much more to eat it was war...serious war. Today by grace and hardwork, they are where they are. Please, enough of the concoted bullshyte about bringing a child into this world to suffer. No be today. Besides no condition is permanent. Whatever happened to hope, hope for a better tomorrow? Or you have sentenced urself to remain where you are now without growth both financially and otherwise? A baby you did everything to prevent from being conceived is finally conceived and you think abortion is the way? May my creator help you have a change of heart. Aren't you being mostly self-conceited here? What about the father of the baby? If you will abort his child, at least inform him. Inform him that you are pregnant for him and since he is not ready to marry you, you want to abort At least that way, the karma won't be on you alone. I know I am sounding very harsh now and I am doing so without apology. A life is involved here. A whooping majority of those who commit the grave offence (in the eyes of the law and man) are just cowards who have no balls to take full responsibility for the choice they made. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Mimzyy:and why must she? Op. since the issue here is about raising two that you kill the first child atleast that would help save some money as there won't be expenses until the second is born. It will also give you the opportunity to start afresh with the new born. In the end everything will be ok 3 Likes |

troubledheart: That's a good and wise decision you've made, informing your ex-boyfriend that you're preggy. Now you both, along with other members of your family, can rub minds and sort yourselves out of this sticky wicket. My concern lies mainly with the unborn child. Many people don't appreciate the sanctity of life because it seems to bear all trappings of the ordinary, but they couldn't be more wrong. Trust me, you would not regret the decision to not abort. You may not have the wherewithal, but so long as you have a grain of faith, you would weather the looming storm to your advantage. M.K.O. Abiola was born into abject squalor, and ate fried rice for the first time in the home of his first wife—Sibiat Abiola. And yet, at the time of his death he was already one of the richest men in Africa. Take a cue from that - no condition is permanent. In your spare time, read on the Japanese Wabi-sabi philosophy of life's impermanence and you'd fully understand what I speak of. I wish you good luck. 4 Likes |

Yes, I created the account last night. It's my second, I had wanted to do it for some time and I just decided to get on with when I was about to comment on her post. Truth is we all have experiences that we keep private but that can benefit others. That's what this anonymous account is for. There's nothing special about you, sorry. That you are the first person I addressed on my new account is just so because of your coldblooded nature. I am not into name calling, so I will not address all of that rubbish in your post, but I am surprised you are a man cos you dont sound mannish at all. Go through her post again for answers to the question you asked cos I don't understand how you can be so selective in your reading. You make a lot of assumptions in life and you are so dead wrong. However, I know people like you: you have a set of rules for others that don't apply to you. I am sure you are very far from the perfection you preach.I understand that God created all humans uniquely but the way some people turn out can just not stop shocking me! Clearly you don't know the meaning of constructive criticisms AT ALL. If you were to give destructive criticisms sir, what would it sound like? DarkRebel101: 6 Likes |

Re: Pregnant And Depressed. by EfemenaXY: 1:35pm On Dec 29, 2016 |
troubledheart: Girl, I like the fact you've taken responsibility for your actions, despite the hard knocks life's given you. Not only are you focused, you know exactly what direction you want your life to take and most importantly have taken bold steps to steer it in that direction. This is called stepping up and taking control. Yes, I totally get it that this pregnancy came as a shock despite the precautions you took, and appears to be veering you off course, but that's life. I don't need to know you personally to see that you're a strong and intelligent woman. I see also a woman who puts the well-being and comfort of her child above everything else. And yes, I totally get why you don't want to get married just because you got pregnant. This proves you do have self-esteem and self-worth. You don't need anyone reeling off example cases of women in miserable marriages who married solely due to pregnancy. Do have that deep conversation with the baby's dad, but never lose sight of what you want in life, your end goals. Keep calm and remain focused. Weigh every possibility thoroughly. Don't make any rash decisions. And most importantly, don't let what people think hold you back. People will always talk, whatever your situation. You may not see it now, but you've actually achieved a whole lot more than your detractors. Less than 26, doing her masters and running a business while single-handedly raising a child. How many married folks out there can boast of achieving half of what you've achieved so far? Abeg, chin up and kudos to you dear. 6 Likes 1 Share |

EfemenaXY:I can be over insensitive to nonsensical issues especially to people who will always repeat the same mistake. All what i have typed will help her not to get the third pregnancy before marriage. Its a lesson. If people around her had come hard on her when she had the first, she probably wouldnt have had this. 1 Like |

In between the devil and the deep, dark blue sea! You abort it, they call you a murderer. You keep it, they can't support you when the chips are down. When there's need for financial resources to take care of the baby before and after birth. And as the baby lives, through 'infanthood' towards becoming a teenager? In fact, if something goes wrong with the abortion, you won't see their faceless face, because they are faceless! Such is a cruel world we live in. Troubledheart, I'll advise that you keep that baby in as much as I may not be there when you need that support (I wish I was, honestly). And if you decide to keep that baby, please tell your ex that he's becoming a father and you hope he would act responsibly. I don't have a baby yet but I have an idea of what it means and how it feels to have a baby without the support from anyone especially the one who should matter most or no hope of support. I also understand that you do not want this baby to be the reason why you guys would come together again. Just be yourself and pursue your goals. If he feels you should walk with him, then so be it. I wish you the best and hope for a positive result. 3 Likes 1 Share |
