Pregnant and on my own

Ok long story but short is i was diagnosed a month ago with MS. Been in a casual relationship for 2 years and I have 2 children from my marriage which ended 4 years ago. My children are now 4 and nearly 7. I work 3 days a week. We have just got a dog. My ex husband is dragging me through court for no reason other than control and manipulation as he hasnt bothered with our children for 2 years and instead of asking to see them ( of which I never have or would ever refuse) he is wanting custody so I am currently in debt of up to 5k of solicitor and barrister fees and that is so far. i just now found I'm 4 weeks pregnant (took the morning after pill after mishap and it failed!) . The man I'm seeing said he would support me but can't commit basically due to his ex wife being very unstable and he is too soft for his own good and she still has a huge thumb print in his head. So basically I'm on my own with MS and debts and 2 boys, pregnant and a horrible ex and I'm distraught. I always said I'd never have an abortion but I can't do this on my own with the uncertainty of this horrible MS :-( Scared and lonely.

Ffs @happyj What a shit time you are having. Life is an arse sometimes. 're: Termination. You have to do what's best for you and your children. Nobody should/would judge your desicion. And 're: Fathers and kids, I get you. I was similar but I'm older than you, my kids are adults now. Anyway welcome Happyj (love the name). Lisa xx

Hi @happyj and welcome. If I told you that stress was a major agitator, I'm sure I'd have no trouble convincing you. You have to do what's right for you and your children. They need their Mum and they need their Mum to be healthy and stress-free (Well as stress-free as a Mum can ever be!). Personally, I'd arrange to have a chat with your local Citizen's Advice Bureau. They can look at everything that is going on and may be able to come up with suggestions to help. Just be aware that MS can also be a formidable enemy...........
